I was only able to squeeze in two ideas in the last post – here are some more.
Photography service
Got a nice camera that you like to play around with? Put that hobby to good use and hire yourself out for holiday parties! What you should do is add on other services such as framing or Photoshop and then charge much less than the professional photography services in your area. I bet that you will get a good number of clients during this season.
Catering
I have a friend who thought of this idea much earlier in the year. For the month of December, she found herself booked to the brim! From office Christmas parties to family gatherings, she found clients that wanted her to cater their events. If you are good in the kitchen and you like this sort of thing, it is a most profitable business idea.
Decorating
I would be your first client if you ever decided to put up shop as a Christmas decorator! It might be a bit late to start this business this year but there is always next year. You cannot imagine how many people would love to have affordable professional assistance when it comes to decorating the house for the holidays. Your target market: busy young professionals. You should really look into this.
Remember, these ideas are only as good as your planning and execution. In any sort of business, you have to try and foresee the turn of events and be prepared for them.
