Mailbox
Primary purpose: A structure that is used to store mail.
Mailboxes can also be in the form of a tin structure nailed to a wooden stick in the front of your house. Or in a large tin structure with slots which stores mail for a houses on an entire street. Also, those who have a business or would rather have mail forwarded to another location can employ the use of mailboxes at a UPS store. Initially, when my friend texted me the word “Mailbox,” I immediately had the associated feeling of having to do work. My father owns a UPS store and one of the services he provides for his customers is a mailbox service. Everyday an employee of the United Postal Service comes to the store with a container filled with mail. Once the mail is delivered to the store, my dad has to go through the huge stack of letters, magazines, coupons, and packages and places the items in the respective customer’s mailbox. Whenever I come to Houston for a weekend so return home for the holidays, I receive the duty of sorting and placing mail into the customer’s boxes. Surprisingly, the task takes longer than one would think. You have to be very accurate in double checking the box numbers and clearing any discrepancies so that you do not receive complaints from the customers.

Chair
Chairs come in all shapes and sizes. Even within a home there are so many different variations. In the living room, there are usually large, plush chairs to facilitate a comfortable environment. In the dining room, chairs are usually wooden so that they are sturdy and generally easy to clean. There are also chairs in the library or at a job designed specifically to give ample lumbar support because in those environments people sit in chairs for long periods of time. In addition, rocking chairs are a special type of chair that often has fond memories associated with it. I have recently become an aunt so when I have the chance to make a trip to Houston for the weekend, I enjoy spending time with my precious nephew. To lull him to sleep, I take him in my arms, sit on a rocking chair and gently rock back and forth until his heavy eyes close into a peaceful slumber.

Ways to combine these two products
• Chair attached to mailbox post in front of the house
• Chair that has a slit in the arm for mail to be dropped into
• A notification on your chair that would let you know when mail has arrived
• Sales paper about chairs inside a mailbox
• Having a motorized chair that could drive you to your mailbox
• Having a motorized mailbox that, when full, would drive to your chair
• Being able to have a remote control arm that would extend from your chair to the mailbox to grab your mail
• Having comfy chairs next to your mailbox at the UPS store so that you could sit and look through your mail
• Having a compartment in your chair to store mail.
The most viable product option would be the chair that would receive a notification when mail has arrived. The mail carrier would press a button on the mailbox to notify the resident that mail has been delivered. The electronic notification has the same principle as having the mail carrier raise the wooden flag attached to the mailbox to indicate that mail has been delivered. Only when the mail carrier presses the button, the resident immediately knows when their mail has arrived. Furthermore, I think all of us would love having a motorized chair that would drive us to the mailbox to pick up mail but the walk to and from the mailbox could be a great source of exercise!
