Start Your Own Video Rental Business
One of the newest, and most profitable retail business opportunities available today is the Videotape Store. Profits from rental of videotapes movies have doubled each year over the past several years, and industry experts claim this is only the beginning.
Not long ago videotape recorders (now widely referred to as video-cassette recorders) were being bought at a rate of one million units per year. Five years later, the sales rate had climbed to 12 million recorders per year, and sales are still increasing. Analysts say that within a few years there will be as many recorders in use as television sets. It follows that all these videocassette recorders are in need of tapes, just as an automobile requires gasoline. Read more
How To Profit With Your Own Day Care Service
There’s a definite need for day care centers as more and more mothers of pre-school age children are forced to find jobs outside the home. This is due in part to the current economy, and unfortunately, to the high divorce rate, which means mothers who might ordinarily stay at home and care for their own children must seek income to help make ends meet.
Many experts expect the demand to increase through the turn of the century, and the popularity of this type of business to continue growing from there. They base their forecasts on the fact that more and more young parents have happy memories of the time they spent in day care centers, and the learning experiences they enjoyed. And again, there is the continuing need or desire of young mothers to work outside the home. Read more
How To Start Your Own Firewood Supply Business
Unpredictable fuel costs and the necessity of keeping warm in the winter have resulted in “boom sales” for manufacturers of wood-burning stoves. There has also been a return to the use of the fireplace as a form of supplementary heat and as a luxury that promotes the “cozy” atmosphere sought after by both middle class and affluent families. This renaissance in the popularity of wood heat, and upward spiraling sales of associated equipment, has created a demand for firewood that’s almost impossible to fulfill!
A very important element: This demand has caused the price of firewood to almost double over the past several years. Whatever the “going price” for a cord of firewood in your area, you can expect it to increase by 20 to 30 percent each year for the next ten years or so. Read more
How To Start Your Own Profitable Bartering Club
Bartering is not negotiating! Bartering is “trading” for a service, or for the goods you want. In essence, bartering is simply buying or paying for goods or services using some thing other than money (coins or government printed paper dollars).
Thus defined, bartering has been around much longer than money as we know it today. Recent estimates indicate that at least 60 percent of companies on the New York Stock Exchange use the principles of bartering as a standard business practice. And congressmen barter daily to gain support for their pet projects. U.S. aircraft manufacturers barter with foreign airlines in order to close sales on million dollar contracts. Perhaps you have experienced at one time or another in your life a friend saying, “Okay, that’s one you owe me…” Basically, that’s bartering. Read more
