Can you sell anything in america if you market it right?

Answer 1

No, absolutely not (not successfully at least, maybe you'll always sell a handful of a bad product though...but you will not make money). As others have mentioned, the product needs to fit a need, even if it's a need that some people think to be unreasonable (for example, even though most people don't "need" a pair of Uggz boots, some people feel that they do since Britney Spears wears them and buying a pair fills a "need" to be fashionable and trendy...another example would be Pokemon toys: they fulfill the need for children to fit in socially with their friends). Something that doesn't fulfill a need for some segment of the population, no matter how silly the need may be, will never sell.

Answer 2

You're probably not old enough to remember the Pet Rock fad at Christmas in the '70s. Many department stores were selling regular old rocks in some clever packaging for $4.99 (Probably $20 in today's dollars).

Answer 3

I would say no, but then I read this article in Inc. magazine this month about a guy who is making millions selling worm poop packaged in used soda bottles plucked from garbage cans.

So, I guess so....

Answer 4

Yes. A good salesman could sell ice to an eskimo...especially if the ice was 'packaged' right.
