It may sound cliched but when women go shopping, they need time for themselves and if they are accompanied by their husband, they have to rush through things. A café in Denmark came up with a unique solution as they posted a quirky signboard that said “Husband Day Care Centre”.
The quirky signboard in Green Towers, Copenhagen has gone viral on social media and has impressed business tycoon Anand Mahindra. The signboard says, “Husband Day Care Centre. Need time to yourself? Need time to relax? Want to go shopping? Leave your husband with us! We look after him for you! You only pay for his drinks.”
Sharing the photograph of the signboard, the chairman of Mahindra and Mahindra tweeted, “Innovation is not just creating new products. It’s also about creating entirely new use-cases for an existing product category! Brilliant.”
Netizens were intrigued by the signboard. A user commented, “They don’t need a day care Center. They are better at home without anyone. It’s not just innovation. It’s innovation to the peaks. Smart way of presenting things.” Another user wrote, “Crazily innovative Just guessing who all will leave their husbands out here.. Also it’s important to know the nature of shop from inside. Innovative though.” A third user wrote, “Ha ha.. what a innovative marketing sir.”
The cafe has an outdoor sitting area and offers alcoholic, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. “Husbands come here to sit and rest their legs. We keep husbands busy while their wives and children shop,” Antonne, bartender at the cafe was quoted as saying by media outlet The Standard.
