Looking for an extra something this Christmas? Why not aim for extra money so you can add funds to your gift giving activities?
Earning your extra money doesn’t have to be an extra effort on your part too! Let’s just say that this is the season when people are willing to shell out their saved money for just about anything! Just look at how well department stores and retail stores are doing nowadays. Actually, as early as November, you would notice that plans are made and lists are prepared. December, on the other hand, would be the best month to hawk your wares and expect sales. It’s not bad to take advantage of the situation, think of it as giving something back to people we don’t know much and earn a little something in return. Do take note of the word “little” as we don’t have to charge too much for the services and products we are most likely to sell.
If you take a closer look on how sales work during Christmas season, personalized things do better than commercially made ones. It’s because personalized gifts, or things which are made by someone’s hand add charm and character to a gift. Of course, who better provide such things than a senior’s hand? That is where you can start thinking of what to sell.
Before this article gets you all excited, it’s important that no matter what you decide on selling, you must—first and foremost—enjoy doing it. For example, if you think your baked goods will sell well, you must enjoy your time doing it as you normally would. Your goal should be making your product’s recipients happy and not only for the money.
Since baked goods are the most easiest to make—and easiest to sell as well!—let’s start from that. Baked goods include cakes and pastries as prices of these things tend to go up when Christmas is coming nearer. You can get orders from your friends and coworkers to be delivered on desired time and date. Cookies also sell well during these times. Just package them festive and well by custom made boxes. Add red and green ribbons for final touches and they are good to go!
Handmade ornaments and accessories are also a hit this Christmas such beaded bags, hair clips and jewelry boxes. Photo holders can also be handmade according to your own liking and be sold at a much higher price considering the amount of time and effort you have put in it. All you need is your creativity and a little imagination on the side!
