1. Rent a Paparazzi
Like any business idea that is born from a customer need, American Tania Cowher seized on this trend to start a crazy but promising business. Thanks to this company, you can now have your moment of glory and live like a real star for a day. Celeb4aday gives you the chance to ride in a limousine, be harassed by paparazzi, be surrounded by bodyguards… Everything you need to feel like a celebrity.
2. Manufacture Industrial Wishbones
In France, but especially in the United States, the wishbone is not just a part of the chicken’s rib cage. It is also the support of an ancestral game of chance. The one who gets the largest piece gets a token of happiness and prosperity. This is how the company Lucky Break Whishbone was born. Born from a simple idea, this business today has a turnover of more than 674,000 euros with 360,000 wishbones manufactured each year.
3. The Santa Claus Freelancer
If the children of the Western world have only one dream, it would be to receive a letter from Santa Claus. This fantasy: the business kings have understood it well! That’s why there is more than one company in the United States, Great Britain and France that offers this type of service: a personalized letter and stamped from the North Pole. The leader in this field is the American company Santamail, which has sent more than 200,000 letters since its creation in 2002.
4. A Special Flight for Animals
With these dogs injured in the hold, scared and sometimes even lost, the idea of an airline specially dedicated to dogs came naturally. Founded in 2008 in the United States, Petairways offers complete packages to satisfy customers who are fond of their pets and very concerned about their well-being.
However, the animals travel alone. For a New York-Chicago flight, count on a ticket of 200 dollars.
5. Sell Your Hair
In the feminine world, glamour means long hair. Jacalyn Elise, co-founder of Thehairtraider.com, then had the idea of setting up a website that connects sellers and buyers of natural hair. This hair is used to make extensions, wigs and hairpieces. A trend that is not likely to die out anytime soon!
6. Adopt an Olive Tree
If Mediterranean countries are full of olive trees, Western countries have many fans of them. Companies then offer to adopt an olive tree with an authentic certificate that allows you to receive its entire harvest in olive oil, or 1 to 3 liters per year. Another business that is surfing the organic wave! If the adoption of olive trees in France is in its early stages, that of beehives is a little ahead. The company “Un toit pour les abeilles” offers you 6 jars of honey for only 70 euros per year.
7. Rent a Family
Let’s end with a business that is as crazy as it is fun: renting parents! In Japan, the company Hagemashi Tai, founded in 2006, provides its customers with mothers or fathers to help children do their homework, talk to them, and go out. A real solution (or not) for single parents who want to offer a certain emotional balance for their children!
