If you thought it was hard to teach your parents how to use Zoom, imagine trying to explain it to a goat. In any other timeline, that sentence would sound ridiculous but thanks to a farm in England whose goats are now available to rent for your next online meeting.
Many businesses have suffered a lot in the last year and it’s forcing people to get more creative with the services they offer. Dot McCarthy of the Cronkshaw Fold Farm in Rossendale, Lancashire, England came up with a brilliant idea. You can now get one to join your online meeting for £5, or $6.8 for five minutes. Since they’ve started, the farm has earned over £50,000 or over $68,000 just by letting you book their goats for your Zoom calls.
You can learn more and book a goat on the farm’s website.
Zoom meetings are much more fun when a goat is on the call.
The farm offers “Goats On Zoom” services for £5 ($6.8) for 5 minutes.
What started as a joke because of Zoom’s popularity, Dot McCarthy of the Cronkshaw Fold Farm decided to try the idea.
She added the service to the farm’s website and the next thing she knew, it blew up.
Since they started the Zoom goat rental, the farm has earned over £50,000 ($68,000)
There are 7 different goats including Margaret and Lola available to crash your next meeting.
As well as Lulu and Elizabeth
According to Dot, a family rents one of the goats every week.
This fella’s name is Sebastian.
