This sub reminds me of an ad I saw in a magazine sometime in the late 80's/ early 90's

"How to get thousands of people to send you money with little to no effort. Send $5 and a self addressed stamped envelope to..."

I've always wondered how many people fell for that.

There's potential there. You could offer zipper insurance for $5 at outlet stores. If the zipper jams or gets too goofed to function you got their back.

Still a better deal than buying the extended warranty for things.
