Need business idea’s..?
Posted by admin | Under Centerpieces For Weddings Friday Apr 30, 2010I want to start my own business from home. I am very creative, love working with shapes, colors, have such a great sense of style. I was thinking of designing real floral centerpieces, only chic designs incorporated with rich colors, and abstract designs. I want to not just create a typical centerpiece, but actually incorporate art in to these pieces. I have no background working with flowers. I am going to buy a few books, abstract vases and rich flowers and try out a couple of designs. I was thinking of creating at least 20-30 pieces and creating a catalogue and handing them out to banquet halls and advertising at churches (where most weddings take place). What do you guys think of this idea? Do you think brides/grooms would JUST hire/purchase centerpieces from a stage decorator? Would exclusively selling ONLY creative centerpieces limit me from gaining business from weddings? Any suggestions? Do you think I should also sell these centerpieces as decor for homes? If so, how would I market decor for homes? If I market my centerpieces only for weddings I know where to start my marketing..but for decor? How would I go about?
Suggestions/Ideas needed please! Thanks 
Thank you MJ.. can I get your contact info. I would love to ask you more questions.. you seem to have very good advice! Thanks
Brides and grooms will buy what they feel is beautiful and that they can afford. A product sells when there is a demand – created or natural. A catalogue is an excellent idea. But it must be as stunning as your designs. I would stay with the high end creations – homes decor and weddings – because you are good at it and enjoy the work, although I feel you need a stronger advertising plan. Perhaps a sustained saturation mail campaign to high end neighborhoods. Introduce your beautiful designs to furniture and accent stores, decorators – every contact you have, flower shops, wedding dress boutiques gift shops. Trade Shows – (for retailers only) Do the centerpieces at cost for organizations in your town, for fashion shows. You could perhaps have an exhibition in a chic hotel lobby – alone or in combination with another product. As you were a stage decorator you understand the importance of backdrops and display. Its all awesome work. Be ready for next Xmas – it’s not too early! Catalogues are expensives, what would be cost effective are large photos in a chic personal folder with your business card of course. I cannot stress the importance of a perfect photo of your work. A professional photographer can make it all come to life. And if taken in different backgrounds can be be quite tempting and inspiring – which makes me think perhaps some of your ads could be a greeting cards with a word bout your Co. when you open the card. People often display or keep a beautiful card and would certainly remember your name. Good luck with those ads and don’t forget a short exciting bio about yourself.
start with that product which is heavy in demand but less in supply…this kind of business will generate much profit…i can give me idea of such products..mail me at (i.rupinder@yahoo.com)
