If you are looking for a business idea for a home based business that taps into your great fashion sense, how about sprucing up the image of your local businessmen?
Every businessman, especially those who live and/or work in executive positions, wear a tie at least five times a week, not including business trips and meetings.
They need a good business tie of the month club! You could offer to send one tie per month for twelve months, for a monthly fee.
This would be a great gift idea for a man that has to wear ties often, especially for the man that wears the same ties repeatedly, thinking no one notices.
There are also some men that hate shopping and don't want to spend time looking for a new tie.
For men that are not fussy about their ties and welcome a new tie to wear, this could be a great business idea.
Offer several different types of memberships in your tie-of-the-month club.
You could offer the more expensive designer ties for executives, which are much more meticulous and charge more for that membership.
Call it the Executive Tie Club, or Designer Tie Club membership and charge a higher fee per month.
There could be many different options in-between your executive and basic tie of the month club memberships.
You could also offer a Holiday tie of the month club, since there are so many holidays the whole year.
Offer ties that incorporate each month's holiday, for the whimsical fun tie wearers. On the other hand, you could send a different color tie each month, coinciding with the color of a typical birthstone for each month.
Obviously, you have many different options with a business idea like this, so take advantage of offering several membership options.
It would be beneficial on your part to buy ties from wholesale suppliers.
This will help you maintain a reasonable profit and allow you to offer your club memberships at an attractive price.
You might even check local used clothing stores and thrift stores for quality, fashionable ties that are in like-new condition, and have them cleaned and pressed.
You could sell them as ecologically friendly, or economy packages.
This could actually be a really great twist to this business idea, and you could build a whole business promotion around an eco-friendly tie club.
There are lots of great chances for picking up good quality used designer ties on eBay too.
If you are creative and can sew, you could make your own ties to sell also.
This could help you make a sizable profit on your sales. Just make sure that you research how to construct ties properly.
Silk is always the best choice for attractive sturdy ties.
And if you also have an artistic side you could also do hand painted or dyed silk ties.
Offering these unique hand designed ties would give your more ideas for making money and would provide another great marketing twist to this business idea.
And you can find all the supplies you will need including silk ties at Dharma Trading.
Make sure that each tie is wrapped attractively and packaged well before shipping it to your customers.
Fortunately, most ties weigh very little so shipping charges should be reasonably low.
You should advertise your tie club where businessmen are often found, such as coffee shops, deli's, and anywhere else you think they may find your advertisements.
If you can afford it, an advertisement in a men's magazine or business magazines could be a good idea too.
You could also target businessmen’s wives and mothers, and market your club as a great gift idea for “the man who has everything.”
You should also consider
building a website
to showcase your ties and membership packages.
