Free Finder Service

Welcome to this edition of our newsletter. Although the main summer event season may be just starting to wind down now is a great time to start looking at other possible business ideas and trading opportunities for the autumn months and the lead up to Christmas. For many new event businesses the inactive months before next summers event season can be very tough financially so the longer that you can extend your season and keep your business working the inactive months will have less of an financial impact.

KIDS THAT GLOW IN DARK

Events being held during the darker autumn nights provide a great extra money making opportunity. Try combining face painting using luminous face paints with selling glow novelties and head boppers to compliment the look.

MAKING NEW BUSINESS IDEAS WORK

We can provide suggestions and where to get the products. However for ideas to work for your business they require a little bit of flexibility, imagination, some planning, resourcefulness plus some get up and go. Look and see how to make the most of ideas given what's available to you locally. Study what's happening in your local area and seasonal events and think to yourself would a particular stall or service be suitable and put the idea forward to organisers.

TRADITIONAL TOFFEE APPLES, POPCORN AND CANDY FLOSS

With fun fairs, carnivals, Halloween and bonfire night fast approaching now is the time to place your orders for toffee apples, nut machines, popcorn and candyfloss. Toffee apples come in traditional browns and reds and now for the more sweet tooth of us you can now purchase chocolate coated apples.
