you are just getting started or need help and guidance to improve the
business you already have, Bizymoms has the resources you need to get a
fresh start! Our eClass sessions are more convenient than ever,

It
doesn’t matter if you’re into woodworking, sewing, painting, pottery, or
creating handmade paper. More than ever, people enjoy giving that
one-of-a-kind special gift. You can sell your wares via the Net, at holiday
bazaars or craft shows, or even consignment style. Once you become known for
your crafts, word-of-mouth will keep you very busy.
One
idea is to create your own line of holiday cards with rubber stamps. Melissa
Duquette has found this to be a profitable business. She explains, “The card
season is upon us and everyone will soon be searching for the perfect
holiday card to send to family and friends. This is your opportunity to
break out into business and create unique hand-stamped holiday cards. Or why
not offer a class teaching this great hobby? Rubber stamping can be worked
into so many different businesses.”
Kim
Moya runs a T-shirt business and finds this a way to make extra cash during
the holidays. She says you can create inexpensive holiday sweatshirts, and
long- and short-sleeved T-shirts. And she doesn’t stop at T-shirts, but also
includes tote bags, felt and cloth ornaments, advent and traditional
calendars, aprons and many other items that you can purchase wholesale and
sell at retail prices!
I
don’t know about you, but I love fleece blankets. I was really excited when
I found out I could make these awesome “Snuggly” blankets without having to
sew a stitch. Cinda Louden has been making these types of blankets for a
while now and explains, “These blankets are made out of Polar Fleece
material. They are soft, warm, cozy, durable, and wonderfully ‘Snuggly.’
There's no sewing or needlework involved; all you do is cut and tie. Making
Snugglies is a great way to start and create a business, make a little extra
cash, or just make them for gifts. It's all up to you!”
Tamaira
Sandifer, the owner of Fun Mail For Kids, has been creating Santa Letters
for a while now. “I thought, what child wouldn't like to get a letter in the
mail full of goodies just for them from Santa Claus. Once I informed family
and friends about starting Fun Mail For Kids, the letters practically sold
themselves. Last year brought in approximately 680 requests, which is pretty
phenomenal since I don't do much advertising.” Tamaira says that running
this type of business is fun because it allows her to do something she
really enjoys. “So it doesn't really seem like work,” she says.
The
hype of eBay has not gone away, but has only grown. When among a group of
people, I can usually find someone who has either bought or sold something
in an online auction. Colleen Wallace has made it her business to sell
merchandise online. “The holiday season is the best time of year for me.
People are always looking for unique and interesting gifts to give their
loved ones. What better place to find something different than the online
auctions,” says Colleen. Start thinking about what you might have that you
could sell online. Colleen has found that the items that sell well are those
that can be used for stocking stuffers, are limited editions, or are signed
items.
Then
there are the people who cannot stop baking during the holidays. Are you the
type of person who finds that at the close of the season, all of your
neighbors’ refrigerators and cookie jars are bursting at the seams because
baking is just your thing? Believe it or not, this is not the favorite
activity of some people.
