Winter business idea - mountain rentals

winter business I'm a passionate skier, but, unfortunately, there are no decent mountains in my country. So, when winter comes I start searching the web for interesting skiing offers abroad to book myself at least one skiing holiday. This time I have stumbled upon an offer that has caused a lot of discussions and attracted attention of mass media. Liftopia, the US based discount ski ticket site, has launched a unique winter business – entire mountain rentals. Liftopia in cooperation with Plattekill Mountain in Roxbury, New York; Mt Abram in Greenwood, Maine; Camden Snow Bowl in Camden, Maine; and Whaleback in Enfield, New Hampshire offers to rent an entire mountain (or just a part of even and even a dedicated tubing hill) exclusively for yourself. You can use all slopes to enjoy skiing or snowboarding and to hone your technique without anyone getting in the way. This pleasure is not cheap and the rental price varies from $900 for one slope up to $3000 for entire mountain and more. I'm a bit surprised that European companies do not have any similar offers so far. There are so many skiing resorts and so many skiing fans who can easily afford a pleasure of renting a mountain. Due to the lack of foresight these companies lose potential profits that this winter business idea would surely bring. To keep being on top entrepreneurs should always be open to new business ideas! Flexibility in business always pay off.

Vending ideas - vending machine to swap things

Swap-O-Matic In Christmas Eve, when all molls are crowded with people, running around with bulging eyes and hung with shopping bags, it's good to remind what this day is really about. It's not about spending all your savings in shopping centers and it's not about hunting dicounts, it's about giving away and doing something for someone's good! The business idea below is a great example of how to do it in a nice and burdensome way. The Swap-o-matic is a new vending machine which reminds us unconscious consumption, which became a true religion of XXI century should be replaced by recycling. The machine allows users to donate and receive items, instantly and for free. Though items in the machine (donated by users) do not cost the recipient any money, to get them he or she should have "credits". A credit is earned when the user donates to the system, and a credit is required to retrieve an item from the machine. New users receive 3 credits to start. Machine is easily controlled by the touch screen interface on the front of the machine. Swap-o-matic is a great invention and is absolutely essential in big cities, where people had long and firmly forgotten, that reusing and recycling can be just as fun as buying something new. Yet MUCH more correct and responsible.

Unique Japanese hotel - rooms with coffins

unique japanese hotel My blog features a wide collection of hotel business ideas: hotel for divorces, Hamster's villa, hotel on wheels etc. And although I've already read and heard about a lot of bizarre hotels, this one will be on first place of my list. A new bizarre hotel has opened its doors in suburbs of Japanese city Yokohama. From outside "Lastels" looks like an ordinary lodging, but all its rooms are equipped with refrigerated coffins as this is a special hotel for corps. Behind "Lastels" windows is an automated storage system, hidden away from mourners. It stores and chills corpses in coffins, delivering them through hatches and into a viewing room, day or night, whenever friends and family come to pay their respects. The cost of stay in the hotel is $157 per day. Usually "guests" do not stay at the hotel for more than four days. Japanese media predict a great popularity and commercial success to this unique business, as all the crematories in the city are overwhelmed and often there are situations when body is awaiting cremation for quiet a long time and there is nowhere to store it. I guess this problem exists not only in Japan, so if you already have small business related to funerals, take into consideration opening a similar hotel in your home town.

The majority of my unique business ideas come from US, some of them from UK, Japan, Australia and Russia, but there are very very few business ideas from other countries. Although sometimes our European neighbors show real creativity and courage to start truly original businesses. My today's story is about unusual business from enterprising Germans. Two years ago, in 2009, the first (and only) National School of Driving baby stroller was opened in Germany. Seems to be quiet a weird business idea, but it really works and many mothers-to-be sign in for a full course that includes: basic knowledge about choosing the right stroller, lecture on driving rules (baby stroller is equated to a skate board in Germany and there are several rules that regulate the sriving of a stroller) as well as some practical lessons on how to drive your baby safe and carefully. The package of 5 theory lessons and 2 practical lessons costs 1000-1500 euros depending on a program. Do not rush to laugh and to twist at the temple. The idea at first glance is a delusion. But if you look a bit deeper... Just take a look on how young moms behave while walking with their kids. They can cross the road with a stroller, speaking on the phone with friends when green light has long been replaced by red. Other moms load stroller with bags and sacks that make it way too heavy and unwieldy. This, in turn, is risky for both mother and her baby, and for other vehicles and people on road. There are also ladies that "climb" road edges so harshly and aggressively that their baby almost flies out of the stroller. There can be only one conclusion - learning to drive a stroller is an important thing and a small business on baby stroller riding safety is a necessary thing for any big city.

Unique small business - reinventing school pictures

Many years have passed since I graduated from school, but I still remember pretty well those boring annual photo sessions and disappointing photos which went straight to the darkest corner of my writing desk. That's why when I stumbled upon an article on a school photographer who make unique innovative children school pictures I got so inspired! Oh, how I wish my kid would bring me the same style pictures when she goes to school. A small, Brooklyn-based company called Stomping Ground has reinvented the school photo. No awkward photos with unnatural expressions, no strained smiles. Dennis Kleiman and his wife Kelsey let kids be kids. Let them celebrate themselves how they choose, laugh and dance, wear the Batman costume or the princess tiara. The result is stunning – charming photos full of life which reflect the unique personality of each kid. Kleiman's small business started when their their daughter, Leila, was in preschool and Kelsey pushed for Dennis husband to photograph her class. The photos were great, the parents loved them, so Kleiman familly decided to start a small business which they called Stomping Ground. It all started with no investment other than their time. Kelsey built the website over three months with images from their daughter's preschool. They got a surge of press in the weeks after they launched and soon they got their first client - school from Los Angeles. This success story proves once again that the most profitable and successful business is usually born when you do what you love to do and what you can do in professional and unique way.

Naked Girls Reading is a cross between a book club and burlesque and unites two passions - literature and beautiful naked women. Each evening is devoted to a special theme, like Science Fiction, Banned Bookes or books by Charles Dickens. Guests can sip a drink, watch, listen and enjoy this unusual show. Naked Girls Reading already have branches in many cities in US and, without any doubts, will develop further. So, if you like the idea, then hurry up to start your own Naked Reading show in your hometown before it's too!

Bizarre business idea from Japan - ear cleaning parlor

ear-care service Amazing, but five years ago such simple hygenic procedure like ear cleaning in Japan was concedered a medical procedure that required special medical license. When finally Japanese government canceled this ridiculous law, a new type of small business developed in Tokyo. Ear-cleaning parlors began to open their doors all around the city. Yamamoto Mimikaki, one of Tokyo's biggest ear-care salons, was founded in 2006 and turned ear cleaning into a true art. First client is greeted by a young lady dressed in kimono. She serves tea and makes a small chat. Then cleint proceeded to the cabinet where he can relax while specialist gently scrapes excess wax out of his ears, as well as massages them and taps the shoulders. Such basic service package lasts 30 minutes and costs around $32. Idea of ear cleaning parlors once again proves that Japan has always been and will probably remain a homeland for bizarre business ideas as well as weird services. I doubt that ear-care services might be successful in Europe or US, but anyway, if you have a beauty parlor and are willing to offer your clients something new and exclusive – try out this idea. At least it will give you some free advertising in media and Internet as a first beauty parlor to offer something as weird.

Tips for entrepreneurs: Wave Your Company Flag

Large and colorful outdoor banners can help to grab attention for your company at any event your company attends. When you invest in custom banners that display your company information and logo in bright colors, you have created a marketing tool that will give your company additional exposure. There are several situations where a custom banner can increase your company's visibility.
 
Speaking Engagements
 
As a small business owner and active member of your community, you may be asked to speak at various civic and corporate events. Public speaking is an excellent way to gain additional exposure for your company while establishing yourself as an expert in your field. But you can enhance that exposure with a large, custom banner.
 
When you take on speaking engagements, be sure to insist that you are allowed to hang your banner in an area where it will be seen. It will work to remind people of the company you work for and increase your company visibility.
 
Your Office Window
 
Entrepreneurs often discount the marketing power that the front window of their office can offer. Each and every day, people pass by your office either by foot or in a vehicle. Your window can act as a 24/7 marketing vehicle if you put a promotional banner in it.
 
Have a banner made that is colorful and eye-catching to help maximize your exposure. If you have monthly pricing specials or promotions, then get a new banner made each month to announce your specials and use your front office window to its maximum advantage.
 
Company Functions
 
When your company sponsors an outdoor event or has a family function for employees, you do not want to put up handmade signs that will make your company look less than professional. You need to use professionally made banners to present the proper public image.
 
Even when you are entertaining your employees, you are still putting your public image out there for potential clients to see. Present the best possible image with a professional banner.

    Unique small business - the Love Post Office

    Psychologists say that there is such a thing as a "crisis of 7 years of marriage." The amount of omissions and discontent accumulated during these years reach the highest grade and leads to a serious tention in relationship. China's authorities are very much concerned about the growing number of divorces in the country and decided to take a very unusual action to improve the situation. The Beijing Bureau of Civil Affairs in collaboration with the local branch of the Chinese-mail offers newlyweds to write each other love letters which will be delivered with delay of 7 years. The procedure is easy: romantic letter costs 30 yuan ($4.69) each and looks like a greeting card. One should just add his/her own message of love and post it. The Love Post Office will keep the letter for seven years before sending it. The project was launched in Haidin District only, but if it will prove to be successful, then similar Love Post Office might appear in other parts of the country. Though Chinese Love Post Office is not a commercial project and is aimed to resolve social problems, the idea itself seems to be very suitable for small business. Newlyweds love all kind of rituals that add a touch of romanticism to the ceremony and writing a love letter with 7-year delay would definitely be on the top of the list. So, if you are in search of profitable small business idea, take this one. Simpy add some extras (beautiful box for storing letters, nice ceremony, music etc.) and I'm pretty sure this small business will bring you some extra cash!

    Vending machine meet e-shop - Shopbox

    Vending machine business is very popular in both US and Europe and has a lot of interesting business niches such as caviar vending machine or vending machine selling ties. Yet there's still lots of space for new creative ideas on this market and guys from 3rd Ward, the Brooklyn design incubator are among those who work to make shopping a thrilling experience. ShopBox is a giant vending machine built inside a repurposed shipping container. The container has been transformed into an amazing showcase: products are showcased on spinning multilevel pedestals illuminated with a colored light program. ShopBox is selling everything from tools to tables, all with edgy design and hard to find in any other shop. To make a purchase you need to sing up on an iPad at the side of container, text the order and wait for delivery. The unique concept of ShopBox is an interesting mix on an e-shop and vending machine. It sells products online and at the same time you have an opportunity to see them with your own eyes in a lighted showcase, presented effectively and attractive. Besides, comparing to a traditional vending machine, ShopBox allows to sell a much wider range of products as the size of a purchase is not limited with a size of a dispenser tray. ShopBox currently exists only in NYC, but I'm pretty sure that this unique business will succeed and expand to all other states. And, hopefully, company will share their business idea with entrepreneurs from other countries by selling franchise.

    Unique online business - Talk O'Clock

    I'm not a morning person and the hardest part of my day is to get myself out of bed after the alarm clock rings. The only thing that could possibly make this time better is to be woken up in some unusual way. That's exactly what you get by subscribing to a new unique online service Talk O'Clock. Talk O'Clock came up with an unusual online business idea - the social match making alarm clock that allows you to be woken up by a complete stranger. All that is required from your side is to pick up a time for a wake-up call and choose the sex of a person you want to talk to. A person who is matched to wake you up will also be connected to you anonymously. The interesting part is that he or she can wake you up in any way they want, so it's always be an intrigue when your phone call in the morning. The service is in beta testing stage right now but should be ready shortly. The good thing that I see about this service is that it doesn't have a snooze button like your phone. So, you'll have to get up right away and won't have any chances to get late for work. The bad thing is that you have no idea about what your wake up pal will say and there's a possibility that your morning might be spoiled… Anyway, I like this interesting online business idea and am pretty sure it will find its place under the sun of small business.

    Travel experience in a bottle - The Scent of Departure

    Today I decided to move on with a theme of unique travel experiences and post an interesting business idea that's on the verge of travel, perfumery and design. The Scent of Departure brand in cooperation with GĂ©rald Ghislain perfume creator launched a collection of unusual perfumes designed for duty free shops only. Sp far collection features five perfumes inspired by the cities of Frankfurt, Budapest, Vienna, Munich and Istanbul. The idea behind the collection is that a scent is able to evoke vivid and pleasant memories of a certain place. Or city, in this case. Each perfume is sold exclusively in the duty free airport stores of the cities they symbolize, in a cool glass bottle featuring the airport's three-letter code on a boarding-pass tag. Munich smells like an iced lemon tea on a picnic in the Englischer Garten. Vienna has a scent of gourmand pastries with notes of vanilla, liquorice, chocolate and coffee. The perfume of Istanbul evokes a memory of lively Grand Bazaar with aromas of grapefruit, bergamot, elemi, pink pepper and sweet spices. Budapest smells like a powdery wind of paprika spicy and Frankfurt has a fruity, spar kling and joyful aroma of flowers and wood. The Scent of Departure perfumes seem like a great alternative to the typical souvenirs that we bring from trips. It would be nice to say: "Honey, it's a pity you couldn't come with me so I brought you a piece of Istanbul in a bottle". You can't share your travel experience, but you can at least give an idea of it. And what an interesting marketing trick! You are guaranteed to buy this perfume even if the scent is not that good only because you loved the city.

I'm absolutely thrilled and can't wait to share it! LOG607, an Italian company, created a series of alternative guidebooks (or shall I call them games?) named WHAIWHAI. WHAIWHAI is the Maori word for "to go in search for" and it reflects the idea of the product – you go on an adventure, exploring new places, far away from tourist crowds. Any place, city or museum can become a playing field for a treasure hunt. All you need to start a unique travel experience is a cellphone or laptop.

    Interesting small business idea - Wurkin Stiffa collar stays

    Attention to detail is the key to a well-dressed man: a combination of shining shoes, well fitted suit and stylish shirt is able to make any man simply stunning! And if a problem of shoe shine is easily solved with good shoe polish and suit can be fitted by good tailor, then a way to an impeccable shirt is much more complicated. Men were struggling for ages to keep their shirt collars from dropping. Joshua Boos from Saratoga faced the same problem, but was keen enough find a solution and start a successful small business. Joshua's company The Wurkin Stiffs produces collar stays that are inserted into a man's shirt collar to stiffen it and prevent the points from curling up. The difference between traditional collar stays and Wurkin Stiffs is the stylish look that they have: each stay is made of high-quality stainless steel, fully polished and equipped with a powerful magnet that holds the stay in place, ensuring an impeccable look. A play on tech for a geeky male. These power collar stays can be a great gift to a father for Father's Day or to a boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Wurkin Stiff is a good example of a profitable small business that grew up from a personal need of its creator. Joshua Boos realized that if he's in need of some solution for this problem, then he can offer it to other brothers in misfortune and get a good source of income. That's exactly what I would advice to any aspiring entrepreneurs – think of what product or service you and your friends/relatives would be happy to pay for and start your own business!

You can make order a Jennifer Lopez's bum, lips like Angelina Jolie has or make Jennifer Aniston's hairstyle. But all this already out of trend. New fashion craze rules the world – vampire style. A dental salon Plaisir in Tokyo's Ginza district has become very popular after it advertised a new cosmetic procedure that lengthens and sharpens canines to enhance a feature Japanese call "yaeba". Yaeba means double tooth in Japanese, but it doesn't mean the dental imperfection, but rather the vampire-like look that it gives. In Western countries crooked teeth were always considered as a dental defect, but in Japan they are considered being cute. The technique is quiet simple: vampire teeth are fastened to the patient's canine teeth with non-permanent adhesive. The enhancements are tailored for fit like a glove and are applied in a similar way. I'm pretty sure that after an incredible popularity of The Twilight Saga such unique dental business niche will be highly demanded among younger girls and boys who dream of resemble Bella and Edward. Don't know if European and US dental clinics already offer something similar, but they really should consider at as such service would significantly increase their profitability and make their business way more successful.
