The Idea

Fridgedoor.com sells magnets for your fridge, however magnets are generally used to hold something up (e.g., menu, reward chart, planner, dietary tips). I envisage a site where individuals/companies can generate and post A4 "ready-to-print" fridge door content and users have access to a big database of fridge content, developed by the community. Examples include, menus, dietary and fitness tips, reward charts for kids, planners, lists, etc. Great way for companies/restaurants/ fitness centres/ to get into people's kitchens. For the user, the service is free (download and print whatever you want). Individuals/ companies who create content pay small fee. Extensions: Virtual fridge - latest content and "look inside" advertising Widgets for blog - e.g., "get my top 10 writing tips on your fridge" Link with magnet sales

I thought of this idea when I was...

walking past my fridge and looking at all the menus, lists, etc stuck to it.

PsychSplash... maybe.

I had so many fridge magnets and junk on the fridge that I stripped it clean & went on a kind of anti-magnet campaign.

But there are a few things everyone should have on their fridge or nearby - emergency numbers, babysitter info for example.

Maybe ... when someone buys a house the realtor sends them this info by automated email... the info would come from a public database (phone numbers for fire, police, etc) & is on a sheet with the realtor's logo, and room for babysitter info. Realtors in my area already use a lot of print for their promotions (note pads and calendars are the main ones, also fridge magnets). If they converted to electronic versions they would pass the print costs on to the home owner.

I am just trying to think of stuff I want to download and print, but there isn't much.

Hmmmmm.

I really don't see a huge market for this. On the other hand, I'm not an expert :P

The A4 can also have an advt at the bottom - revenue for company.

One can make up "ready-to-print" Fill-in-the-blanks A4s. Eg:
"Birthdays in Oct 2006", "Birthdays in Nov 2006" etc. Data can come come from databse on site (uploaded by end-user) or handfilled by end-user.

"Appointments for today", "Doc appointments for this week",...

Jill has great examples:
Emergency numbers, babysitter...

Would be real cool to have an eye candy design instead of plain text on a plain sheet.

And yes "Widgets for blog(gers) - e.g., "get my top 10 writing tips on your fridge" is great.
