When you meet potential customers, ask them for a few challenges they are facing and use ThinkCube to create ideas. Email them a list.

When you're promoting ThinkCube -- at conferences or presentations etc -- have a team using ThinkCube live so that people can see the ThinkCube in action. Email the potential-customer with a list of ideas created that day.

Set a target -- say, create 500 ideas on BrainReactions -- and publish the best on your site

Find ten volunteers (from here and elsewhere) to contact small, local businesses. Start a project to improve each business using the ThinkCube. Volunteers could collaborate. A survey would need to be created to ask the business owner key questions about problems and challenges they face.

Become a facilitator for live brainstorms on here - or in a chat room or a facility on your own site - and, if possible, use the ThinkCube as a guide to aid you in prompting participants. Have a different challenge each week. Log all the best ideas on your website.

Use ThinkCube to create ideas for bloggers and compile these ideas on a blog post: something like "500 great ideas to improve your blog". Bloggers will link to the article and the article would state that ideas were generated with ThinkCube. You could also do "500 ideas to improve your website" etc.

Approach Dragons' Den participants and introduce them to ThinkCube and help them to use it to promote their idea/business.

As a tv concept: the Apprentice tv show usually favours people and situations that will produce conflict. Why not create a more positive Apprentice type show that uses ThinkCube to approach challenges and thus acts as a tutorial to viewers? "Apprentice with brains instead of conflict".

Create a specific project that will attract lots of media attention. For example: set out to make somebody rich within a year. Set out to create ten patentable inventions. Choose someone completely at random and see how a ThinkCube-using team of creatives can work to completely turn around that person's life by tackling all their problems and aspirations. Maybe you use this as a concept for a reality TV show?

Find businesses that are in trouble and send in a trouble-shooting team to save the businesses.

Target a popular website. Give the site's hosts a free copy of ThinkCube to use to actively seek improvements and new features for the website. Possible targets would be YouTube, the IMDB, news sites etc.

Arrange a live brainstorm on here asking this question

More on idea 21 and 20: the brainstorming clubs could act as troubleshooters for local individuals in the newspaper who have experienced problems. When problems are solved the newspaper could feature the individual again. Maybe the newspaper could have a "good news" section featuring people who have had a problem solved by the brainstorming clubs.

More on idea 20: the ThinkCube could link up with local newspapers and tackle problems that have featured recently in the newspaper. That way any successes will get lots of publicity.

Ask libraries to create brainstorming/creativity clubs where the ThinkCube would feature.

Give Think Cube's to professor's in the business dept. at a major university. Encourage professor's to speak about the product and potentially utilize the product as part of a class project.

Give free Think Cube's to local businesses and gather testimonials.

Host an event where either student run businesses or student groups can participate for free. Each group will have to use the Think Cube to solve a major issue their business/group faces frequently. A cash contribution could then be made to the group that solves their issue most effectively through the use of the Think Cube.

Offer to give a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of ThinkCube to an organization that helps to foster innovation or that encourages young minds to flourish such as the Boys & Girls Club.

Partner with a business supply store or bookstore to offer discounts on notebooks for keeping track of ideas. Have an in-store display where ThinkCube can be purchased along with the notebooks.

Host open sessions at the mall where anyone can come to play

Ask a local government office i.e. the Mayor to use the product to help solve a problem. How did it go? Report it to the media.

Donate ThinkCube to non-profit organizations to help them develop innovative ideas.

Donate ThinkCube to libraries for people to use on site.

Promote it through groups or associations that already exist such as artists, musicians, community continuting education sources, business networking, writer groups.

Generate teams from local universities or businesses to "play" against or with each other.

Host a play session at a place where your target audience hangs out. Get the media on board.

Get someone or a company that is known to be "innovative" to use it

Try selling a few on eBay auctions, especially during gifting seasons like Christmas.

Go to your local Target store manager. Most of them have the authority to try market testing new products by giving them shelf space for a few weeks and seeing how well they sell. If this game gets into Target, it could sell really well.

Post flyers in coffee shops and in and around schools about the game

Put a video of people playing the game and coming up with great ideas on YouTube.com
