1. Sale of live and artificial Christmas trees, their delivery

This is a very old and no less profitable business idea with a lot of competition. There are two main things here: a conscientious supplier with quality goods (fluffy and fresh Christmas trees) and the organization of a retail outlet in a busy walkable place. The preparatory phase must begin long before December, it includes:

• obtaining documentation for trade and search for a retail outlet;
• arrangement of the point of sale in accordance with the law;
• selection of a supplier and conclusion of an agreement with him.

The markup on New Year’s Eve can reach and even exceed 100% of the cost of goods, and the cheaper it is, the more profit you will end up with.

Artificial Christmas trees are gaining popularity these days. Since they do not require special storage conditions, it is more profitable to buy them out of season, then you can significantly save on cost. The main advantage of artificial Christmas trees is their diversity, respectively, their range should be as wide as possible: colors, sizes, shapes – for every taste. The sale can be carried out both through stationary outlets and through an online store. In parallel, you can rent artificial Christmas trees to individuals and organizations.

If you don’t want to bother with the preparation of all the necessary documentation for organizing the sale of Christmas trees, you can arrange their delivery to apartments and offices. To do this, you need to select points of sale, negotiate with sellers and organize advertising with the offer of delivery services. Delivery can be provided as a separate service and in the online store.

2. Sale of mini-Christmas trees in the car and on the office table

4. Sale of fireworks, sparklers, and other pyrotechnics

During the winter holidays, pyrotechnics and various fireworks are in increasing demand. But there are some nuances here: pyrotechnic products, according to the law of the Russian Federation, are divided into 5 classes according to the level of danger, and a corresponding license is required for class 4-5 pyrotechnics. If you manage to complete all the necessary paperwork and get a license, you will find a gold mine!

But in order to make money on New Year’s Eve, class 1-3 pyrotechnics, which do not require licensing, are quite suitable: these are sparklers and candles, ground fireworks and fountains, firecrackers and even salute batteries.

The same China can act as a supplier, it is better to make up an assortment of easy-to-manage and inexpensive fireworks, and equip a point for sale in a shopping center or in an open market, thus eliminating the issue of fire safety.

21. Cleaning the premises before and after the holiday, decorating the premises in the New Year theme

After feasts and festivities, there is always a lot of garbage left, and it is often easier to pay for cleaning than to do it yourself. This applies to both private clients and companies. Before the festivities, the general cleaning service is mainly used by private individuals.

Here you can also offer services for decorating and decorating an apartment or house, office. Of course, if talent allows. Otherwise, in order not to lose face, it is better to invite a professional designer.

22. Sale of hot drinks in places of festivities

It’s a good idea to sell hot drinks and light snacks at public places. On holidays, people walk with their children, all kinds of programs are organized in squares and parks, and the frost takes its toll and you want to drink hot coffee or tea with the same pie.

23. Taxi on your car on holidays and corporate parties

During the New Year holidays, the demand for a taxi exceeds the supply, and this makes it possible to make great money, as prices soar by 100, and sometimes by 300% per trip. It is not necessary to work in a taxi for this, you can also find a clientele through acquaintances, and colleagues, do advertising in advance and work for corporate parties. The main thing is to have a clean car, a neat appearance, and a great desire.

24. Preparation and delivery of New Year’s dinners

The main buyers of this service are companies and organizations. According to an established unspoken tradition, if not a corporate party, then almost every employer arranges a festive dinner for their employees. And the essence of the idea is to replace the so-fed-up slices of cheese, sausages, and fruits with full-fledged beautiful, and tasty holiday dishes. They are prepared at home, and served in beautiful, trendy disposable dishes. You can prepare themed dinners in the traditions of different countries and peoples, inviting customers to make their own choice.

25. Renting an apartment or a summer house

In the market of short-term rental housing during the New Year holidays, the rental price increases by 3-4 times. You can make good money on this by renting out your own real estate (an apartment or a country house, a summer house), or by acting as an intermediary in such transactions.

Intermediary services in such cases range from 10 to 50% of the transaction amount. Find rental properties, negotiate commissions and find clients. Pre-rental is always desirable to back up in advance.

26. Delivery of products around the clock

The essence of the idea is to organize round-the-clock delivery of products to the customer’s home. On holidays, it will be possible to compete with store delivery services, since in practice they are quite busy. Products are bought by themselves in convenience stores in fact. But alcohol can be delivered at night, having bought the most popular one in advance.

27. Create a shopping blog

Of course, one cannot ignore such a business idea as creating a shopping blog. This idea, with its proper development, in the future will turn into a permanent source of income and will go out of the category of winter business. The idea is well implemented in focusing on one specific city.

Blog content – shops, gifts, discounts, promotions – blogger’s stories, supported by photos. Profit is expected from advertising, and advertisers are the same stores that you write about.

28. Making memorable New Year’s albums and calendars

A fairly popular type of inexpensive present is an album or calendar for next year in a New Year’s theme. For private customers, an individual element in such a gift can be a photo of the recipient, for companies – the logo and name of the organization. As an option, you can offer to make an album or calendar, in the theme of a festive New Year’s Eve with photographs and scenes from it.

29. Cooking services at home

Cooking a festive dinner is a great opportunity to make money on the New Year for those who know how to cook deliciously and serve food beautifully. This service is used by wealthy and simply busy people who want to organize a festive feast at home. Additionally, you can offer services for the purchase of products, service at the table, and cleaning after the feast, for an additional fee.

30. Internet site for reselling and exchanging New Year’s gifts that you didn’t like

A rather interesting business idea is the organization of resale or exchange of unnecessary or disliked gifts. The most profitable and low-cost way to do this is to create an Internet resource (blog, page). The commission from the transaction will be the profit of the author and the fee for incognito.

Almost any of the above business ideas can be implemented independently, or you can hire people and organize an entire trading network. In the second option, the profit is much greater, but the risks also increase. Do not forget about advertising – both using Internet resources (social networks, thematic forums, websites, etc.), and in the classic format.

And remember, holidays divide people into those who have a rest, and those who make money on it. The choice is yours! Successful business!
