The Christmas holiday is one season that we all look forward to. It is a season of loving, sharing, and celebration. While it is a time of giving, it also presents an opportunity for entrepreneurs to earn money by offering products and services in high demand.
If you are interested in running a seasonal business and making money, here’s a list of ideas to consider:
- Sell Gift Vouchers and Coupons. Some individuals or organizations might want to share gifts with their friends, families, or colleagues but may not know exactly what to buy. Gift vouchers can be sold to them—partner with several stores or businesses where these vouchers can be redeemed.
- Create Gift Boxes. Put together exciting and diverse items for sale. You can go a step further by offering customization.
- Organize Group Social Events. For example, a beach hangout or kayaking trip — events with engaging activities and opportunities to meet new people.
- Sell Christmas Decoration Items. Target individuals, organizations, and churches. You can also offer decoration services as an add-on or complementary package.
- Offer Christmas Shopping Guide Services. If you are market-savvy and know where to find the best items and prices, you can monetize this skill by helping others shop efficiently.
- Corporate Gift Making and Delivery.
- Space Leasing. Rent out spaces for hangouts or get-togethers.
- Retail Foodstuffs and Chicken.
- Photography. Offer special Christmas family portrait sessions.
- Liquor Business.
- Catering Services.
- Event Planning and Management.
- Sell and Customize Christmas Souvenirs for Businesses (B2B).
- Bulk Gift Boxes for Businesses. Supply gift boxes — customized or non-customized — in bulk for corporate clients.
- Offer Babysitting Services. Provide short-term babysitting for parents who need a few hours free during the busy festive season.
These seasonal or short-term businesses have a low starting cost, making them attractive and easy to implement. However, before you run any type of business during the festive period, conduct research into what people around you or within your network truly want or need, and ensure that you have the capabilities and skills to pull it off.
