Making snowballs, standing in line, letting people know they've been abandoned, painting pets is amazing, but it's all good money. A selection of the most original business ideas from around the world, as well as expert comments on how to come up with and test an unusual idea, read on Business.ru.

How to come up with an original business idea

Any marketer will say that the main thing in the presentation of a product or service is the uniqueness of the offer. But uniqueness by itself does not guarantee business success. The most difficult thing is to come up with a “chip” that will be in demand.

A brilliant example of applying an original idea to a trivial business is Celiac Supplies, an Australian health food store with an entrance fee. In fact, the entrance is conditionally paid, because if a person buys something in a store, he receives a discount on the goods in the amount of the entrance fee. This seemingly useless idea plays into the hands of the retailer: thanks to paid entrance, the store “filtered out” lovers of “just look” and reduced the likelihood of theft of goods. On the other hand, paid entrance to the store arouses the curiosity of casual passers-by, and the flow of potential buyers is growing.

The invention of an original business idea is based on a combination of a well-known product and the satisfaction of an actual need of the buyer.

An example of such an invention is cereal bars (muesli bars). On the one hand, muesli is a well-known product in which there is nothing original. On the other hand, along with the need for a healthy diet, modern man is constantly short of time. Because of this, people are forced to snack on the go.

That is, before the advent of muesli bars, a person had an alternative: a healthy breakfast, but the loss of time to prepare muesli, or fast food. Thus, the inventors of muesli bars simply solved both problems at once: they allowed them to eat a healthy product and save time.

According to my observations, creative ideas come to entrepreneurs in two ways:

1. Marketing while walking. I love this method for its simplicity and accessibility. It is based on observations. It can be a walk around the city - cafes, restaurants, attractions; travel with the study of the cultural or economic characteristics of the country; and maybe a virtual trip - a movie, surfing the Internet. This does not mean direct copying of the idea, but rather inspiration.

2. Method of "pain". We are talking about the “pain” of the client that has set the teeth on edge. When we see the inconvenience of the service, we want it to be different. For example, you can’t check into a hotel with animals or have no one to leave them with on vacation. I'm sure that's how pet hotels came about.

Below we consider examples of unusual business ideas collected from around the world.

flying food

The Australian company Jafflechutes organized the delivery of food ... by parachutes.

The cafe is located on the fourth floor of the house. Few are willing to climb so high just to snack on a fried cheese sandwich. The management of the institution did not want to lose customers and came up with a food delivery service directly on the pavement - under the windows of the cafe.

The client makes a reservation, pays for it via PayPal, and arrives under the Jafflechutes windows. A cross is drawn on the road, and at the appointed time a sandwich is parachuted down there.

However, this interesting business idea arose in the world a little earlier: YO! Sushi is using drones to deliver food by air.

But still, drones are too expensive for widespread use, they are especially expensive for novice businessmen.

Creative grooming (pet coloring)

We have not been able to find out where this original idea originated. But at present, the creative animal coloring business is developing well abroad, in big cities where many wealthy people live.

Of course, it is easiest for practicing groomers, who can add animal coloring to their list of standard services. But even as an independent business, this idea is quite interesting.

You will need special paints for animals (a tube of the same color - from 200 to 600 rubles) and, in fact, an animal for the first experiments. It will also be live advertising.

You can color not only dogs and cats, but also hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits.

The only caveat: experts do not advise painting animals prone to aggression: the increased attention of passers-by will only annoy them.

Tailoring of toys according to children's drawings

Vancouver-based artist Wendy Cao founded a studio for sewing soft toys from children's drawings. Since 2007, Child's Own Studio has made hundreds of amazing soft toys. Parents send her children's drawings, she comes up with a pattern and sews. Currently, the cost of one toy varies between 120 - 150 dollars.

This original business idea was picked up in Russia. Today you can find both studios and private craftsmen offering the services of sewing toys according to children's drawings. The cost of one toy, depending on the size and complexity of manufacturing, is from 500 to 5,000 rubles.

By the way, sewing toys from children's drawings is a great business idea for women on maternity leave.

Selling snowballs

The image of a salesman capable of "selling snow to the Eskimos" found its embodiment in the city of Minneapolis. Advertising agency Space150 has installed vending machines around the city, where you can buy beautifully wrapped snowballs for a dollar apiece.

One machine can hold up to 500 snowballs. Each can has a date of manufacture and the slogan: "Take a snowball home and throw it at a friend."

This original business idea is part of a regional branding program: Minnesota hosted the 2018 National Football League final game, the Super Bowl. All proceeds from the sale of snowballs go to charity.

socks outsourcing

In principle, there is nothing original in the business organization itself: the world is full of companies providing outsourcing services for anything: legal support, software development ... But outsourcing things is a novelty.

Probably, every person is familiar with the problem of finding a decent pair of socks in the house: clean socks run out (and always at the wrong time!), then one is lost, then all of them - suddenly - end up with holes. Swiss businessman Samuel Lichti focused on solving this "mystical" problem, which is always relevant for the population. The BlackSocks company he founded specializes in “sock outsourcing” and offers a subscription to socks to everyone: at regular intervals, a courier delivers a package of fresh socks to the subscriber.

The most popular are classic black socks at $10 a pair. The bulk of BlackSocks subscribers are, of course, men.

According to the entrepreneur's calculations, the service allows subscribers to save about 12 hours annually. Currently, the company accepts subscription not only for socks, but also for underwear.

breakup agency

You won’t surprise anyone with a dating service now, but a breakup agency is a very original business idea.

In fact, informing a loved one earlier that you are leaving them is a very difficult step. And few dare to do this, fearing the reaction of a partner. Agency The Breakup Shop ready to take on these unpleasant obligations.

For a fee, they are ready to write a letter, beautifully designing it in the form of a postcard and attaching a gift, and deliver it to the addressee. Imagine: you open the door, and behind it is a courier with flowers and a sad face: “You were asked to say that everything is over between you. But do not be discouraged: you are still young, and the world is full of opportunities! Please sign for the service."

This unusual business idea is in good demand, especially among young people.

Tramidator - professional waiter

On the Internet, the story of Robert Samuel, an unemployed man who managed to "raise" $ 325 in line for an iPhone 5, in one day, has become widely known. As a result, Robert was thoroughly equipped (two smartphones, so as not to be bored, a portable charger, a tablet, an umbrella, a portable heater, a sun lounger - everything for the most comfortable waiting) and made the substitution service in line his main income. He even had to hire assistants.

For professional waiters, the Spaniards even came up with a special name - tramidator.

In bureaucratic Russia, this unusual business idea is more relevant than anywhere else. And today, many have already picked it up, offering waiting services for money. So, several groups have settled in VK (for example,), where customers and service providers meet. Mostly students.

By the way, the price tag for waiting in line correlates with the amount of earnings of the promoter (100 - 300 rubles per hour, depending on the city). The services of tramidators are used by those who realize that time is money.

"Plasticine" cafe - "Didu"

Biznes.ru has already written about an unusual cafe in the center of Moscow, where visitors, while waiting for dishes, can do creative work - modeling from plasticine. At the same time, it’s not just to fashion something, but to make a personal contribution to the interior design in a cafe.

Of course, not every original idea can generate income. One of the conditions for the invention of a truly economically successful unusual idea is to be on the same wavelength with a potential consumer.

What to do if you have an original business idea?

To bring an idea to life, you must first test demand. At least by conducting online surveys. But be careful about revealing details: your unique business idea may well be “intercepted” by more agile competitors.

Experts in the field of marketing told Business.ru about how to competently test demand.

Tatyana Sheinfil, head of the Marketing Complex project

I advise you to divide the process of testing an unusual business idea into stages:

preliminary stage

To form an understanding: what, for whom and how to produce. What resources are needed. Be able to talk about the product clearly and concisely.

Preparatory stage

Check the idea with friends, conduct a focus group. Choose an audience close to the portrait of your ideal consumer. It is worth studying products - analogues and substitutes in wordstat.yandex.ru, on forums, in social networks, to understand the degree of interest.

The preparatory stage gives only a relative result. Friends said they would buy? Is not a fact. The same goes for focus groups and inquiries. But it’s worth doing this to test your readiness to continue pursuing this idea.

main stage

Create a minimum viable product and sell it. It should satisfy the needs of buyers, but without "wow-effects". The task is to test the idea in practice, avoiding high costs. The same goes for branding and packaging. The main thing is sales. You will understand whether consumers are ready to buy your product.

If they don’t buy, but the desire to continue remains, go for another round. Refine the product, try a different audience. Circles of experience give a stable result sometimes for the second, third ... fifth time.

Oleg Glazunov, branding consultant, coordinator of the Rospodderzhka program, member of the expert council of the Brand Management magazine, member of the Council of the Marketing Guild

If there is no time and money, you can simply: each of us has our own “Lyudmila Prokofievna Kalugina”, show her the idea - “boots”, if she says: “Provocatively, I would not take it”, then it’s a good idea.

You can drive the idea through psychosemantics, that is, find out the emotional and value attitude of the target audience to the product using research technology using the semantic differential. The result is an accurate understanding of exactly how the target audience will react to a particular idea, expressed with mathematical precision. Still, the best test is primary sales.

Secondly, write a good business plan: determine the main target audience, calculate the amount of investment, draw up a step-by-step algorithm for starting a business.

Finally, look for investors. The easiest way is to post a description of your original business idea on a special website. Try searching for the phrases “website for finding investors”, “search for investments for a startup” and the like. The most famous platform was www.kickstarter.com for startups looking for investments. By the way, on this site you can find interesting ideas for business from all over the world, and at the same time - not implemented in Russia.

Yulia Bezrutchenko, Ph.D., investment analyst

How to attract an investor for a startup?

Any investor, like any person, is interested in two things:

1. When can I get my money back? How fast?
2. How much can I earn from this?

In total, it seems, there are two questions, but to get answers to them, you need to do a lot of work.

It is necessary to understand what revenues will consist of (this comes from understanding the market, consumers), what expenses will be (this comes from understanding the costs of production, marketing strategy, personnel, etc.). The answer to these questions is given by one common document - a business plan. And the better the business plan is worked out, the higher the chance of finding an investor.

If you already have a finished project, then you have two ways to attract funding to the project:

1 way. Post a presentation or summary of your project on the sites to find an investor. And here it already depends on you: whether you choose an active or passive way of attracting. Those. you yourself will offer to consider your project or you will calmly wait for the investor to contact you.

2 way. Contact investment companies directly. Now, along with banks and private investors, there are also associations of investors. And then financing can be obtained either from an investment company or from its member.

Basically, there is a third way. Find out if there are people among your acquaintances who want to finance your project. Or maybe they know such people.

You also need to consider that people receive funding. And only people can realize any project. And if the investor did not like you, then even with a good project, you can hardly get a loan from this investor.

Unusual business ideas: TOP 10 extravagant business ideas that brought profit to their owners.

There are many unique people on planet Earth.

Most often, their creativity is manifested in inventions, painting.

But just as surprisingly, they create unusual business ideas.

At first it may seem that a person with standard thinking would not even have such thoughts in his head!

And not just to bring them to life, and put your unusual idea on display to the whole world.

Or maybe some options are not entirely "absurd"?

Let's evaluate together the business inventions of creative people.

Unusual business ideas: TOP 10 unusual options

1. "Bluetooth" instead of a key

Such unusual business ideas are worthy of praise, as they solve the age-old problem with lost keys.

Perhaps every person at least once in his life lost, broke or left the keys somewhere.

The creators of this business innovation solved this problem, and brought to life the idea of ​​​​an electronic lock, the key for which is a smartphone.

Agree, the chance of losing an expensive phone is much lower than a regular key.

A special application is installed on the phone, which can be customized to suit your requirements.

For example, the lock will open automatically if the distance from the owner with the phone to the lock is 1-2 meters.

In case of discharge, the lock can be recharged using a special device.

Well, if this, perhaps, is not available, do not be upset - there is a special panel on the lock.

After entering a code consisting of numbers and letters, the lock will open even without a smartphone.

2. Teeth tattoo is an unusual business idea

Even 15 years ago, an unusual fashion appeared associated with decorating teeth with various rhinestones and precious stones.

A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then, and it would seem that people's tastes have changed dramatically.

However, creative people have a new fashion - to decorate their teeth with a tattoo.

Such an original "accessory" is created by placing any illustration on a person's incisors.

There would be funds and desire, and the masters would be able to translate any idea of ​​​​a drawing into reality.

This unusual business was founded by a dentist from the USA, Steve Hedward.

Applying an image from this master costs a lot of money, but this fact does not stop wealthy people.

Of course, in Russia this unusual business is not yet as popular as in Europe.

Therefore, it is worth clarifying: if you thought that a tattoo on your teeth is the same as a tattoo on your body, then we hasten to refute this myth.

These are two processes that have nothing to do with each other.

So, what is the essence of this unusual business idea?

A tattoo on a tooth can be done even without the presence of a person.

You just need to send a cast of the tooth and the desired pattern to the specified address of the salon.

After that, specialists apply the selected image to the crown, and it is sent to the post office specified by the customer.

After that, it can be installed in any dentist's office.

Abroad, this business idea flourishes mainly due to girls under the age of 15, and women “over 30”.

But even small children, who are given crowns according to the recommendations of the dentist, follow such an unusual product with particular trepidation and constantly brush their teeth.

But in Russia, this idea has not yet been implemented on a noticeable scale.

3. A vase that helps get rid of negative emotions

Probably, every person in life, due to constant turmoil and stress, had a desire to go to a desert island, and that there is strength to scream at the top of his voice.

Psychologists say that this is a normal reaction of the body, which wants to get rid of negative emotions.

But, of course, it is simply impossible to use this method of psychological stress relief in a metropolis, as it violates all social boundaries.

It is difficult to imagine people standing at a bus stop or in a cafe who are shouting at the top of their voices (although, what is there, in Russia, such a picture is still sometimes found).

This need of people, decided to realize the author of an unusual business idea in Japan. They invented an unusual vase that adapts to the lips of every person who uses it.

When shouted into it, the invention completely suppresses noise, thanks to soundproofing properties.

This unusual business idea allows you to throw out all the accumulated anger and not disturb the people around you.

4. Talking dolls in the image of celebrities

Talking hamsters, dogs and bears have long taken their place in the market.

Such an unusual idea brings a good income to its authors to this day.

But electronic animals were replaced by dolls in the images of famous people.

The founders of the idea did not fail with the creation of a talking toy that looks like a favorite artist, pop star or politician.

In the West, people give a lot of money to buy a mini-copy of their idol, besides speaking.

5. Original coffins are an unusual business idea.

Vic Fearn & Co is a large classic coffin company.

Her management decided to add some humor to their dark production.

They caught fire with the unusual idea of ​​producing creative coffins for customers.

Surprisingly, this business appealed to the inhabitants of the UK. Now every citizen can apply with this or that idea of ​​a coffin in which he should be buried.

The company made to order products in the form of:

• guitars;
• corks for wine;
• cars;
• aircraft;
• sports bags;
• phone.

And one client ordered a coffin in the form of a dumpster.

He argued his idea very simply: “I have lived all my life as garbage and I feel that I am garbage, so bury me in a trash can.”

In a word, this is an unusual direction in business, but it brings income.

And for entrepreneurship, it doesn't matter how crazy the idea seems.

The main thing is that it brings a good profit.

6. "Fake" certificate confirming parental rights

But in the States, if you have a minor child, then the person has the right to leave his workplace before the rest.

The goals are quite obvious:

• it is necessary to pick up the child from a preschool;
• help him do his homework;
• take the child to a circle or to a doctor.

Of course, such injustice angers childless workers.

It was this fact that prompted one firm in New York to create an unusual idea for a business.

They give out kits with a set of things that supposedly confirm that the client has children.

• joint photos of the child and the customer;
• drawings of a son or daughter;
• pictures from various family celebrations.

All this can be presented to your boss and leave before the rest of the work.

It is quite logical that this unusual business idea does not have much popularity, since the presence of children can be easily checked.

Probably, a shortened day by an hour or an hour and a half is not worth the condemnation and sidelong glances of colleagues.

7. An unusual idea for an electric cable decorated with ivy

Unusual business ideas can be born even when you are just sitting at home and looking around.

Look around and count how many electrical wires are in the room, and how many are hidden from view?

As a rule, in most apartments, wiring is, at best, neatly fixed along the baseboards.

But the appearance of the room is very spoiled because of this, it seems less neat.

Entrepreneurial people came up with an unusual idea that helped them build a profitable business.

They created an ivy-shaped cable, on which the owner can move the leaves at will, starting from the interior of the room.

This unusual idea is suitable for use not only at home, but also in offices, coffee shops, large companies, restaurants.

8. The sound of opening a beer can

Japanese inventors distinguished themselves by creating an unusual idea.

They invented a special device that mimics the sound of a beer can being opened.

This idea is about the Mugen Beer accessory, which has become the basis of a successful business.

This unusual idea is implemented like an ordinary canned food can, which gives out the same "pshshsh".

This device does not produce any benefit or additional actions.

But one cherished sound was enough for the idea to bring profit to the creators, and the device was sold out in large volumes.

Many people use such an invention as a keychain.

9. Shoes with a navigator - an unusual idea for "lost"

Suppose a person is in an unfamiliar place, and he needs to get from point A to point B.

This path can be overcome with several options:

• use taxi services;
• ask the locals for directions;
• use the city map.

And you can enter the address of the location of point B in special shoes, and enjoy walking around the tourist city.

All thanks to the built-in navigator, which will guide the walker.

If a person needs to turn at an intersection, then, depending on the direction of the route, the right or left boot starts to tremble.

This unusual idea really appealed to many consumers, so the business brings good profits.

10. Unusual business idea - selling garbage for money

Christopher Goodwin created a strange business, the idea of ​​​​which is based on the sale of garbage.

So in Russia you will not surprise anyone with vending machines for selling coffee or various bars.

And what about the machine, which gives out for 25 cents, a beautiful bag containing inside itself:

• paperclips,
• broken toy parts
• broken buttons,
• small pieces of newspapers, magazines, shop receipts?

Few people can understand this unusual business idea in our country.

But, surprisingly, the founder managed to sell more than 4,000 of these units in America.

Unusual and sometimes absurd business ideas are also presented in the video:

People around the world come up with unusual business ideas, which sometimes amaze with their absurdity, and sometimes help make life easier for humanity.

Strictly speaking, everyone determines for himself the degree of usefulness of an idea for business.

Therefore, if you have an interesting idea, even if at first glance it is very unusual, do not be afraid to implement it.

But before you start your production, you need to assess the target audience and develop a business plan.

If the calculations and direction are correct, then the idea will bring a good income, and the business will flourish.

According to opinion polls and studies, from 23% to 39% of Russians want to open their own business, but less than 3% of respondents are going to do it in the next 3 years. The Yandex search engine records more than 200,000 “business idea” queries from its users every month, who are looking not for simple well-known options, but for ideas of non-standard projects. It is about them that we will talk.

Many people dream of creating their own business, but before the idea "shoots", you have to try a bunch of options, some of which sometimes turn out to be not profitable, but unprofitable due to high competition, an incorrectly calculated business plan, seasonality, slow payback and other factors.

If with standard types of business, albeit in demand, such as grocery stores, shoe stores, car services of various formats, as a rule, you have to survive in the face of fierce competition, then unusual business ideas can ensure doing business in conditions of minimal or even out of competition.

The moneymaker factory has prepared a review of 7 unusual business ideas with a brief description from idea to implementation.

Animal hotel

Due to the spread of tourism, the pet care business is gaining popularity. Abroad, pet hotels are commonplace. If it is necessary to go on vacation or on a business trip, it does not even occur to the owners of four-legged friends to ask relatives to look after the pet. He is simply placed in the appropriate institution.

According to the Expert North-West publishing house, every third family in Russia has a cat, and in terms of the number of domestic dogs (more than 10 million), our country ranks first in Europe and fifth in the world. The first four belong respectively to the USA, Brazil, China and Japan.

In the UK, in the city of Lymington, a luxury hotel for cats was opened in 2014. Tailed guests are given king prawns for breakfast, they live in luxurious rooms, there are even personal drivers, and Skype conferences are organized with the owners. A week of keeping a four-legged friend in this hotel costs the owners £250.

Rosatom investment manager Andrey Pushkin, who has long dreamed of changing his occupation, came up with the idea of ​​opening a hotel for cats after he could not find a suitable place to accommodate his cat Fani during the planned departure for the New Year holidays.

So the hotel "Sir Cat" appeared. Renting an area of ​​100 sq. m., the entrepreneur placed 15 tempered glass boxes there, with an area of ​​2.3 sq. m per 2.1 sq. m. They contain all the necessary attributes for a comfortable stay of mustachioed pets: shelves, bowls, beds, scratching posts, some boxes have video surveillance systems so that the owners can see their furry friends.

Thus, starting investments amounted to 1.8 million rubles. (rental of premises, equipment of boxes, advertising, installation of video surveillance, etc.), the average check is from 4 thousand rubles. (the cost of a room for a cat in 2015 averaged 550 rubles per day), the amount of monthly revenue is 300 thousand rubles, profits - 80 thousand rubles. Three people work in the staff: 2 cat nannies and Pushkin himself.

In 2015, the net profit of the hotel for cats amounted to almost 1 million rubles. with a revenue of 3.6 million rubles. For 2016, 3 Sir Kot hotels in Moscow have already been opened and two more are planned to be opened.

Production of facing tiles from glass waste

The essence of this creative business idea is as follows: facing tiles are made from glass waste, the cost of 1 sq. m, which is 30-70 rubles. Selling price 300-450 rubles. In the manufacture of individual orders, the price increases to 600 rubles. for 1 sq. m. For comparison, the price of imported European tiles is 900-1500 rubles.

Production technology: glass cuttings are crushed into small fractions, a binder (polyester resin) and dyes of the desired color are added. The resulting mixture is poured into molds and placed in a vacuum unit. A frozen tile (and it hardens within a couple of hours) is not inferior in appearance and quality to Italian and Austrian ones.

The cost of equipment (at first, you can use a mechanical crusher) is about 10 thousand rubles, and reusable forms cost an average of 200 rubles. for 1 sq. m. In addition, you will need a vacuum unit to remove air bubbles. For the production of 300-400 sq. m of tiles per month requires a room of 18-20 square meters. m. and a small warehouse.

90% of the materials are cullet, its supply can be negotiated with glass factories and workshops for the production of glass products. The owners of such organizations will only be happy with the free disposal of waste.

Self-service laundry

The essence of the idea: the organization of the opportunity for the population to independently wash things, including large ones: blankets, blankets, down jackets in a place specially equipped for this.

We will talk about the implementation of this business idea using the example of the experience of entrepreneurs Oleg Maslennikov and Pavel Glushenkov, who founded the Express Laundry network of self-service laundries. The first point was opened by Maslennikov in Krasnodar. For 2016, a laundry network is open in Moscow.

This is how the economy of a self-service laundry in Moscow looks like, located on Vernadsky Prospekt in a 50 sq. m. (see Fig. 2)

The total initial investment amounted to 3 million 950 thousand rubles, including the largest start-up costs related to the purchase of equipment: washing machines and dryers, their purchase cost 3.5 million rubles. It took 400 thousand rubles to repair the premises, 50 thousand - the cost of advertising.

The average monthly gross profit is 350 thousand rubles, from which the following costs are deducted: rent - 45 thousand rubles, utility bills - 35 thousand rubles, purchase of household chemicals - 70 thousand rubles, administrator's salary - 35 thousand. rub., other expenses (administrative, managerial, to maintain the cleanliness of the premises) - 18 thousand rubles. Tax under the simplified taxation system at a rate of 6% of income - 21 thousand rubles.

Total net profit per month - 120 thousand rubles.

Health Capsule

The essence of the idea: the provision of wellness services with the help of a health capsule. One session of being in such a capsule for 25 minutes is equivalent to four hours of deep healthy sleep. It normalizes the psycho-emotional state, relieves fatigue, normalizes the work of all systems and organs of the human body.

To organize a business you will need:

• purchase equipment - the capsule itself;
• rent a small room at a spa salon, beauty salon, fitness center, gym, clinic;
• organize an advertising campaign to attract customers.

One session in such a capsule costs an average of 300 to 600 rubles.

With an eight-hour working day, you can receive up to 25 visitors per day.

Textile design business

This original business idea can bring big profits. However, it will suit creative individuals who are interested in fashion and design. The bottom line is to create unusual unique designs, followed by printing on fabric and selling at international exhibitions.

We will tell you how such a business works using the example of a project implemented by Muscovite Alexandra Kaloshina. She owned a tailoring shop and occasionally visited European fabric design exhibitions. When she had the idea of ​​creating her own design, she applied to participate in the Paris exhibition Premiere Vision. Of the 200 samples she brought, almost all of them were sold.

A sample is brought to the exhibition - a fabric on which an image and a file with a pattern are printed. The selling price of one sample is from 120$ per drawing for India and up to 220€ for Europe.

Currently, Kaloshina's company not only sells designer images, but also scarves with these designs under the Radical Chic brand.

What entrepreneurs do not come up with to lure customers and make a good profit: they make tattoos on their teeth, produce coffins in the shape of guitars, paint portraits with amino acids. But, interestingly, sometimes the most absurd ideas turn out to be the most popular and relevant after some time.

• Virtual dinners are the best recipe for loneliness
• Business Ideas Europe
• Business ideas from the USA

So, the mediocre salesman Frank Woolworth, who, shaking with fear, first placed price tags on goods, became the creator of the largest retail chain of the last century. Perhaps the top business ideas presented on our website will help you come up with your own business or take a new niche in the market.

Virtual dinners are the best recipe for loneliness

Seo-Yun Park from South Korea came to this conclusion when she decided to start broadcasting her dinners online. Dinning on the Internet has become very popular.

In today's world, where not everyone has time to go to restaurants and meet new people, having lunch with a virtual companion helps to believe in yourself and get the joy of communication.

The business idea of ​​virtual lunches is not new in itself. Back in 2006, the Virtual Family Dinner system was invented in the United States, thanks to which members of the same family could meet during online dining as often as they wanted.

But a meal with a beautiful girl breaks all records. From his business, Seo-Yun earns up to $10,000 a week.

Business Ideas Europe

Hairdressing salon for ... the soul

…and not just to get a haircut or shave - consider the owners of the Parisian salons for men "Sport" and "Politics", where clients come to use the services of a barber, and at the same time chat on topics of interest to them. This two-in-one service is one of the quite lucrative business ideas. It is so in demand that queues often line up in the salons.

You can talk with a hairdresser on the most mundane everyday topics: that the wife does not look after the children, the mother-in-law demands to change jobs, or how expensive it is to repair a car that has been in an accident. The opportunity to take your soul away is not cheap, but the price does not bother salon clients who are tired of problems or loneliness.

Compliments for money

…may be done by the Japanese company NTV if the client needs such a service. When things go wrong for you and you are disappointed in yourself, company representatives will call you and convince you otherwise, finding the most attractive qualities in you.

In addition, you can get advice on how best to reconcile with a friend, wife, girlfriend, or solve other pressing problems.

The firm's clients are mostly men aged 16 to 25 who are willing to pay for help and support. A fairly simple business idea brings a decent income to the company.

Postcards on order

…sends the congratulatory service "May Day Card", which has been a success in Germany for more than 10 years.
