5 Crazy Business Ideas That Actually WorkedClose to half of all new businesses fail each year, with only 25% of them making it to the 15th year. One of the reasons that they fail is because they’re based on crazy business ideas. However, this is not to say that you should not implement a business idea you deem crazy. There’s evidence that crazy business ideas can thrive. Here are five such examples. 1. Broken Dolls Have you ever heard of a doll hospital? It’s highly likely that you haven’t because the centers aren't so common. Dolls that have seen better days deserve a trip to such an establishment. Here they undergo repairs and are restored to usable conditions. The reconstruction includes replacing lost parts and refurbishing the costumes. Doll hospitals have existed for a very long time. One of the oldest such centers is in Portugal and has been in operation for about 60 years. If you love dolls and have the skill to fix them, this may be an excellent business idea to consider. 2. Mannequins for Rent or Sale Mannequins are all over retail stores. Have you ever given thought to their source? The answer is that someone made them, probably in a mannequin factory. The market for mannequins is growing, locally, and internationally. One company, Mannequin Madness based in California, is a testimony that this crazy idea can thrive. 3. Cat Cafes Many people love to spend time with pets. Spending time with animals is therapeutic. If people don’t have a pet of their own, they can go to a place where there are pets. This is where the business idea of cat cafes emanated. These are places where cat lovers can pet cats as they sip their coffee or tea. This business is popular in Taiwan and Japan so much such that at some cat cafes, customers have to make reservations. The first cat café in the United States opened in Oakland in 2014, California. The business idea has spread across North America. 4. Freelancer Websites There’s a need to recognize the growing demand for freelancers. If you think of the many clients looking for freelancers to complete their projects, you’ll see the gap that exists. One such business that exists is Speedlancer. The idea was founded in Victoria, Australia, as a means of helping clients find freelancers quick and easy. They have even made it easy for freelancers to handle their financial details and taxes. You can borrow from the concept to create a similar platform. 5. The Something Store This is one of the crazy business ideas that have ever existed. The idea was to prove that people will buy practically anything. The Something Store sells you something at random. Customers send $10, and the store sends you something they select from their inventory. It could be anything ranging from a book, a box of chocolate, a table game, a necklace, or a gift card. The business has thrived because the customers thrive on mystery. The suspicion of what they’ll receive from the store makes them come back for more. Crazy Business Ideas - Final Thoughts Most businesses fail because the idea behind them is out of this world. However, this doesn’t mean that crazy business ideas don’t have a place in the marketplace. There’s proof of crazy ideas that have been successful and are thriving. Among them are cat cafes, the Something Store, freelancer websites, doll hospitals, and mannequins. Put your creativity to use and come up with a crazy business idea. You never know, it might be the most envied business in your town. CommentsComments are closed.
