Finding a second use and promoting it

I have been promoting my stone magnets and the same works for other magnets as a way to decorate metallic cubical furniture without reducing work space. I also mention use as refrigerator magnets, but have any others been promoting these as easy to change out seasonal decorations for the office?

I had no idea this product existed.


They look so thick & heavy (specs says they are .63 inches thick!) I’m having a hard time envisioning them as frig magnets. So now I am curious what people are buying them for and what use Designers are marketing them for.

Yes I have some, and now I’m thinking of adding some more! I created a Show Me thread, so we can share our products there. I’d also love to promote these too.

Was used to claim this “second use” during study time as “non intentional design”. Main idea was also published as books and is a more or less a long term scientific study program of some of my professors. It’s quite nice to learn and observe how products are often intended to be something, but once out in the world, they have more than one use. Sometimes better use as the not intended solution.

Never sold any of mine. Feels like I still have to find another way to bring own mock ups and show what I try to write and no one understands.

My question is, did you found customers to buy your ideas?
