I'm working on exercising the "business idea" part of my brain and would like to analyze and come up with ways to improve this 4 1/2 Star product that's listed on Amazon. (disclaimer I don't plan on getting into the lawn accessory business this is just for the practice unless of course we hit a homerun)
Like most people I can't stand having to use the paper bags most Cities are now requiring for lawn cleanup and have thought about a product like this before. I didn't even know these were on the market until this morning.
So here' the product
Leaf and Lawn chute
by Leaf Easy Industries

Here are my ideas for improvement.
1. Must change the funnel part, add a fourth side and increase strength
2. must be made with 4 sides, this would allow the user to compress the leafs without tearing the paper bag
3. increase overall durability
4. needs to be able to fold up for easy storage, it already folds but it's because it only has 3 sides. I would use velcro on one or two of the sides.
or
5. Design a better bag that stands on it's own
Thoughts?
