Is there any more things we can create and sell this holiday season?
Children in my area have already started roaming the street with fireworks, disco lights and bangers. This activity will increase as we enter the month of December. Starting a business that sells these products will do well since you don't need much publicity and the demand is usually high.
They can seem like good businesses if you start early, because starting late in this business at a period close to the festivities may be difficult to get new clients because the people who need these decorations most likely have a contact of another decorator and souvenir specialist with more knowledge than you because they started before you and have delivered more jobs.
If it is a new business to you, you may struggle a little unless you can leverage on the experience of another person who has been in the business.
I will have to agree with you that starting the business earlier would have been better. Established businesses would get better chances of striving in this period since they already have customers. A new business would have to start seeking customers this season which might be difficult.
