Plug and play viral idea # 2 - Wabi Sabi
đĽ The Idea: âWabi-Sabi Giveback Challengeâ Concept: Give away something ânot perfectâ (imperfect, cracked, flawed) but turn it into a huge, feel-good giveaway â celebrating imperfection. Then challenge others to do the same. Why? The âwabi-sabiâ philosophy (celebrating imperfection) is trending right now on TikTok. MrBeast is all about big giveaways + stunts + emotion â this marries that with a very timely micro-trend. đ§Š How to Execute (Short Format, ~30â60 sec) 1. Hook (first 3â5 seconds): âWhat if I gave someone something broken⌠and changed their life?â Visual: You holding a visibly cracked or âflawedâ item (could be anything â phone, mug, shoe, whatever is relevant to your niche). 2. 3. Build Suspense / Value: Show a few âflawedâ items: âThis mug has a huge crack. This gadget doesnât work 100%. This design was a misprint.â Explain: âBut Iâm giving these away â not because theyâre broken, but because theyâre unique.â 4. 5. Giveaway Moment: Cut to you surprising someone: âI want you to have this. Take it, fix it, or just enjoy the story behind it.â Show their reaction. 6. 7. Challenge / Call to Action (CTA): âNow, I challenge 3 people/brands to do the same â give away something imperfect, share the story, and tag me.â Add a contest twist: âBest wabi-sabi gift + story gets $X, or a special bundle / free service.â 8. 9. Closing: âBecause sometimes, the imperfect things are the most valuable.â Flash your brand or logo, show a quick tagline. 10. đĄ How It Works for Different Industries - E-commerce / Retail: Use broken or âsecondsâ items (factory defects, returns) and build a feel-good campaign around giving them away. - Service Business (e.g. coaching / marketing): Gift someone a âflawedâ session â maybe a raw, unedited coaching call or audit â and then challenge other coaches to do the same. - Fitness / Wellness: Give someone a âfailedâ workout record (like a time they failed to hit a goal) but reward their effort â then challenge others to share and reward theirs. - Tech / SaaS: Give away a beta or buggy version of your software (or a âbrokenâ feature) â walk someone through fixing it. Use it to highlight how even imperfect things can be valuable.
