Summer business is an opportunity that it would be a shame not to take advantage of, especially if you live in resort town or village. Even in the vastness of an ordinary northern city, you can make good money during the season if you approach the matter wisely.
Features of seasonal business
Unlike seasonal business, year-round business has reporting periods: month, quarter, half-year, year. Seasonal business is completely limited to the beginning of the season and its end. All the features of a seasonal business are determined precisely by this time limitation. Therefore, it is important to approach each new season as a full-fledged project, the preparation of which must begin about six months in advance. If the preparatory phase is not completed well, then at the end it will be difficult to count on the desired results.
During a year-round business, systematic and rhythmic delivery is very important. Seasonal business it will only require the availability of goods in sufficient quantities and their receipt in right time. Seasonal business requires uninterrupted delivery, in which the likelihood of shortages is minimized. Information logistics here must also be up to par, because the seasonal framework does not provide opportunities for re-planning.
It is better if advertising for a seasonal business is based on images already recognizable to the consumer. If a new product has some kind of zest, then it should be really bright and recognizable. Recognition is necessary so that customers can quickly navigate their choice.
Experienced seasonal market players know how to create the right mood by creating appropriate images. For example, it could be a happy family riding the new model bicycles you are selling.
Advantages of summer seasonal business
Seasonal business is not for everyone. Mainly, it will be good for those who know how to think flexibly and quickly change strategy. Seasonal workers do not set global goals, but think in terms of “here” and “now”.
Summer businesses are good because they can bring profit in the shortest possible time. Any investment here will quickly pay off, because the demand for some goods and services is very high during the season.
If you choose seasonal trading, for example, fruits or flowers, then you can purchase batches of goods from farmers at minimal prices. If you are going to sell ice cream or draft kvass, then the equipment can be rented, and a successful choice of point will help you quickly make a significant profit, because the markup of retail sellers is usually 30-40%.
The key to the success of any shooting range is right choice places. If the shooting gallery is mobile, then you don’t have to wait for clients, but look for them yourself. The easiest way would be to go to children's camp on parent's day. After all, no one can deny a child the pleasure of shooting. But it’s even better to locate your business in a favorite vacation spot for city residents, having previously obtained permission local authorities and concluding a lease agreement for the land. This way you can secure 50-100 clients per day.
When organizing a shooting range, it is important to pay attention to the targets. People don't care what they shoot at, and if you line up empty beer cans, you risk losing customers. Today the choice of targets is quite large. There are, for example, complex mechanical toys that “die” every time they are hit.
Sale and installation of air conditioners - a cool business
You can make good money in the summer heat. The starting capital to start selling air conditioners is approximately 10 thousand dollars.
There is very serious competition in the air conditioner sales market, so it is better to attract customers with various innovations and bonuses, for example, offering installation in installments or additional cleaning systems.
A simpler option is to sell fans. The initial investment here will be about 5 thousand dollars, and the profitability of such a business will be at least 40-50%.
Business on active recreation (jet skiing, water skiing, etc.)
Rental of equipment for active recreation can be organized near a holiday home or hotel located near a river, lake, or sea.
The risks of such a business are very high. The profitability of rental will always depend on the weather and equipment damage. Equipment rental for active summer holiday there will also not be the highest profitability and payback.
However, you don’t need a lot of capital to start. It will be enough to start with 10 thousand dollars and move with your equipment along the beach. In the future, it will be possible to open a full-fledged water sports club with changing rooms, staff, and a wide range of services.
For one point, two bananas, two jet skis and two instructors will be enough.
Water vehicles for transportation (jet bikes, jet skis) must be registered in the relevant government agencies. Instructors must have a license to drive them.
A set of two jet skis will cost about 14 thousand dollars. During the season, a jetski will bring a profit of at least 8-10 thousand dollars. Moreover, given the intensity of use, it will have to be repaired at least once a season. A rubber banana will cost $300-$1200 and will easily pay for itself over the summer.
Possible business risks for the summer season
The main risks of summer business are associated, as a rule, with the fact that it is impossible to calculate demand in advance. For example, if the summer is rainy and cloudy, then sellers of air conditioners and ice cream may be left without buyers.
It is also necessary to accurately calculate the required number of workers. If, for example, air conditioners are in a warehouse and there is no one to install them, then buyers will simply go to another seller. 
Seasonal business is divided into 2 types. This is the resale of some goods and a business that requires some specific skills. And in the second case, in order not to waste time during the season, it is important to search good specialists in advance.
As you can see, there are many summer business options, each of which can bring huge profits in a limited time. Contrary to popular stereotypes, summer business is not only selling ice cream, but also many other services and goods.
Thinking about starting a business, every entrepreneur wants his investments to quickly pay off and generate a stable income. However, in practice this combination is quite rare. Thus, a business with stable demand for a product or service usually requires significant investment in initial stage and pays off for quite a long time, but then, as a rule, brings a stable income.
While a business that has a pronounced seasonality, with proper planning, pays off quickly enough, which is what every entrepreneur would really like. However, expect a stable income in in this case is not necessary, since there are 2 opposite phases here: “season” - a period of active sales, when demand for a product is very high and the entrepreneur receives most of the annual profit in a few months, and “off-season” - a period of decline in sales or their complete absence, when business suffers losses or best case scenario works to zero.
Which business to choose: one that quickly pays off, brings high profits during the season, but is unstable during calendar year, or a business in which investments will pay off for quite a long time, but with stable demand for a product or service throughout the entire time without sharp ups and downs?
Entrepreneurs who nevertheless chose a seasonal business and quick payback , even at the business planning stage, you should ask yourself: what to do during a period of recession or complete lack of sales? How to prepare for this and what measures to take to survive and stay afloat? After all, not every seasonal business can survive the rest of the year on the profits received during the active sales season.
So, in a store of swimsuits and beach accessories in the summer there is a high demand for goods. However, it is in such high demand only 2-3 months a year. Although many Russians began to travel abroad during the cold season, the demand for swimsuits still remains at a fairly low level in the autumn-winter period. How to distribute the profit received over the summer and hold out until the next season? Is it worth taking radical measures - completely closing the store and laying off employees, refusing to rent an office and warehouse in order to minimize all expenses during this period, and starting all over again before the start of the next season? Or should we try to avoid such situations and make every effort to ensure that sales during the high season allow the owner and his employees to feel confident throughout the year - introducing additional products, holding promotions and all kinds of sales?
The BIBOSS portal found out how entrepreneurs who own a business with a pronounced seasonality get out of the situation.
Ilya Konoplev
Franchising Director of the World Gym chain in Russia
The fitness business is very susceptible to seasonal influences, these seasons are predictable and we understand that “long contracts” are practically not sold in the summer and people traditionally do not prioritize fitness expenses in their budget. Club revenues in the summer months are 30-40% lower than in spring or autumn. To mitigate this, fitness clubs include “short” offers for the summer, which attract working capital at the expense of those clients who continue to train, and make conditions for club membership much easier than in the high autumn and spring seasons. In the summer, if you wish, you can buy a card for two at one price, etc.
Traditionally, expenses are running out - group training schedules are being cut - there are still few people in the clubs, sometimes you even have to turn on the super-saving mode, but the whole essence of management is to be prepared for the low season and, on the one hand, have a cushion, and on the other - a pool of services that generate revenue even during the low season in terms of sales of club memberships. For us, it's personal training.
If objective force majeure occurs, and due to too early spring If, for example, we would begin to lose revenue due to the fact that people stop buying training, then clubs can include activities to attract new audiences, increase the entry of corporate clients, offering corporate training to businesses at a significant discount. It doesn't last long, but it keeps the staff busy and brings in revenue. That is, in fact, there are no miracles, and if somewhere it breaks because it is thin, then you need to keep several directions in the assortment and focus on them.
Ivan Ershov
Head of the franchising department of the network of educational centers Unium
Perhaps every type of business has its own seasonality, and this is especially noticeable in education. It's summer, in educational business, is a huge drawdown.
In the summer season, we get out of the situation by introducing additional courses, organizing away programs, and organizing other educational events.
Planning. We are always sensitive to budgeting and resource allocation throughout the year, so initially, when drawing up and approving the budget with the franchisee, we consider the low season to be zero, thus maximizing our safety net and avoiding unpleasant surprises.
Of course, this is not all that can be done in order to “survive” the low season, but it is proper planning and budgeting that allows us to have peace of mind throughout the year.
For a good entrepreneur, having a low season is more of a plus than a minus! It is during the low season that they appear additional tools and ideas on how to improve the situation, energy suddenly appears that does not allow you to “relax”, and clear focuses on specific tasks. This is the power of a sales decline - it is what helps entrepreneurs get out of their comfort zone and start doing a little more than in times when customers themselves come to you. Only after this, we begin to apply all the tested cases and in the high season, as a result, we see a completely different business, playing with new colors! But without hitting the nail on the head, you shouldn’t wait for any manna... A business, no matter if it is a franchise or is your own business, requires involvement and certain labor costs.
Almost every business has seasonal fluctuations. In some areas, these fluctuations are insignificant (about 20-30%), which can be corrected by various promotions, gifts for regular customers, or simply by waiting out this period.
However, there are options in which seasonality is pronounced, when a decline in sales or their complete absence forces business owners to take radical measures.
Anna Polyakova
Head of the Bikini House
We have been selling swimsuits and beachwear online for 3 years. In our case, with the onset of autumn, sales volume and the number of applications drop by 5-6 times.
The most important thing is to reduce expenses.
At the end of August we begin to cut costs: we close the store and fire all employees. Now there are many companies that are ready to take on part of the work remotely and it will cost much less than keeping an employee on staff. For example, in the fall we use delivery services. Payment only upon actual payment. There are orders - you pay for delivery, no - you don’t risk anything. Similarly, you can outsource order processing.
A decline in sales is the right time to work on your brand and company awareness. While the volume of orders is not so large, it is possible to engage in SEO promotion of the site. Just during the seasonal drawdown, you can reach the top of the search for mid-frequency and wide-frequency queries. You can promote social media. networks, hold competitions among subscribers, increase activity in public pages, work with the media, etc. In addition, I recommend taking the time to educate yourself. These could be seminars or books, biographies of great businessmen. The work done will help prepare for the next season. The main thing is to be able to make a profit during the season and benefit “out of season.”
Nikita and Anastasia Kuimov
Creators of "Enchanted Christmas Balls with Warm Wishes", seasonal and family business for the production and sale of balloons self made with natural flowers, in Russia and the USA
Our business is highly seasonal and although we plant flowers for our balloons in April, sales begin no earlier than September, and the main ones from December 1 to 31. The book says that corporate orders must be placed before the start of summer, but in practice this is very rare. We turned a minus into a benefit - we work remotely for 10 months a year. We don’t need to pay rent for an apartment or travel in a stuffy subway - we travel the world and develop other projects. In general, what matters is not how much you earn, but what you can afford with that money. Working actively for 2 months a year and resting for 10, we feel richer than people who work all year with 2 weeks of vacation. While traveling we came up with board game The whistle, which we will sell in the summer, using winter developments.
Roman Sabirzhanov
Founder, Hotconsulting.ru - serial opening of hotels
Hostels in the regions are an example of a seasonal business. Cities like Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Sergiev Posad, St. Petersburg are in demand among tourists in the spring and summer months. During the off-season, the profit of these hostels drops to zero. Some hostels in St. Petersburg close during the low season in order to save on salaries and operation of the premises.
The most correct way is to negotiate with the owners on a flexible rent. In high season, rent is higher than in low season. Better yet, fix a percentage of the profit, as they do in Europe. But during the season, hostels in such cities receive excellent profit. And those projects that were able to build the sale of additional services, such as the sale of coffee, baked goods, and breakfasts, receive higher profits than their competitors.
Thus, we see that most companies prefer to significantly reduce expenses during the period of sales decline, fire some workers and wait out this time, preparing for the new season. And all kinds of promotions and discounts can only be called a supporting measure that allows companies with seasonal business to stay afloat. But what to do if the profit received during the season is not enough to last the rest of the time? Or is the entrepreneur not satisfied with this “survival” and wants to make a profit throughout the year, while maintaining his seasonal business?
How to survive as a seasonal business?
One of the most profitable options for an entrepreneur is to open another seasonal business, for which the period of active sales begins when the first seasonal business experiences a decrease in purchasing activity. It is in this situation that the entrepreneur will always win and have money, and for each season he will have a peak in sales in one of his businesses. These may be related areas, or they may be areas completely unrelated to each other.
For example, rental of bicycles and roller skates is in demand from mid-March to early October- it's the season for of this business and period of receipt maximum profit. At the same time, having opened a “winter” business for renting skates, alpine skis and other equipment, the entrepreneur will receive maximum profit from the second business, while in the first “summer” business it comes to naught. A similar pattern can be seen in the history of Yandex.Wordstat queries. The graph clearly shows how the demand for a product or service changes throughout the calendar year, thanks to which you can track trends and seasonality of requests that interest an entrepreneur.
The owner of a fur and fur products store receives his main income in winter, luring buyers in the summer with big discounts and selling goods at low prices in order to somehow stay afloat. However, by simultaneously opening a department with summer clothes and swimsuits, you can make a profit even outside the season of your main business, thereby creating a kind of safety net for your pocket.
Take, for example, tire fitting, whose services are in demand in mid-autumn and spring. It is at this time that you can see long queues of cars whose owners want to exchange summer tires for winter ones, and vice versa. Tire shop owners even have to hire additional workers during this period in order to withstand such an influx of customers. However, this particular time is the so-called season for this area, and, accordingly, the period for obtaining maximum profits. But what to do the rest of the time, when there are no more people willing to change tires? You won't last much longer just by repairing tires and pumping them up. You can earn additional profit throughout the year, for example, by providing rubber storage services. This will allow the business to attract additional money. In addition, customers who left their tires for storage at this particular tire shop can be offered a discount on a subsequent tire replacement. And then be sure that this client will not go to another tire shop, but will come to you (of course, provided that the services provided are of high quality).
Here are some types of seasonal business.
Is seasonal business profitable?
A seasonal business is extremely profitable, and with the right approach, the costs of opening it pay off in the same season. However, you should not think that by purchasing a large batch of heaters in winter, you will certainly get rich. Without proper planning, a seasonal business will burn out faster than a regular one, since it has its own specifics.
What risks does this business have?
Some types of seasonal business are quite risky due to the fact that it is difficult to calculate demand. Thus, a rainy, cold summer will leave “cold sellers” without profit. We must remember that seasonal business requires not only the timely purchase of a batch of some goods. For example, a summer business related to air conditioners also requires a large staff of installers. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of who will work in advance. Moreover, it is important to correctly calculate the number of specialists that may be needed. If air conditioners lie in a warehouse and there is no one to install them, customers will not stand in line, but will go to another seller. Usually seasonal workers work on employment contract, and so that every time you search for an employee you do not have to resort to the services of recruitment agencies, you need to keep in touch with former employees, which have proven themselves well.
Seasonal types of business, like all others, are divided into those that are based on the simple resale of something, and those that require certain skills in the production of the product. For example, beekeeping, which generates income from June to September, requires specific knowledge and conditions from the entrepreneur. Or, say, landscape design, which is most popular in the spring months, requires its own qualifications and dexterity. This is another argument in favor of looking for specialists in advance, especially those who are difficult to find through personnel officers.
Who is it suitable for?
Seasonal business is suitable for those who are able to quickly change strategy, adapt to changing circumstances and are not inclined to build long-term strategies. Seasonal traders are not ready to wait for years to reach the break-even point; they do not set global goals, but act according to the “here and now” rule. Although this is only partly true.
The limited time to sell goods and services requires the entrepreneur to carefully prepare before the onset of the season. Rental agreements for premises, the necessary infrastructure, the products themselves or raw materials for them must be ordered several months before the start of the season. It is completely wrong to start entrepreneurial activity at the peak.
What to do in the off-season?
Having decided on the main type of seasonal business, you need to think about what to do in the off-season. You will still have to bear the costs of the office and warehouse, and only catamaran and boat rental companies can completely suspend their activities. Although there is work for them too: for example, you can rent winter equipment - snowmobiles, sleds and tubing.
Landscape companies often retrain as cleaning companies, and although the specifics of the work change, they retain clients by keeping their territory in order almost year-round.
The off-season is a great time to think about where to find new clients. Having analyzed the experience of the last peak, you need to start drawing up a plan for the coming season, taking into account all the mistakes made.
Summer is a fertile time not only for relaxation, but also for work, especially considering that the income that can be received during the warm season often exceeds all the expectations of an entrepreneur. At the same time, both an experienced businessman and a beginner who is just thinking about opening his own enterprise can make money in the summer.
Beach: how to make money in the summer without bothering yourself?
The main places where all profits are concentrated are resorts and beaches. Making money on them means taking advantage of the possibilities of a real gold mine that never runs out.
Most popular look earnings - rental of water attractions or water transport. The larger the “vehicle fleet” of all kinds of scooters, catamarans, rowing boats, speedboats, slides, bananas, “tablets” and other entertainment devices, the higher the businessman’s profit. Especially if he plans to make money in the summer in places located away from competitors.
The second option is to rent sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach. Earnings from them will be relatively small, but stable. Over time, more sun loungers can be purchased, “absorbing” almost the entire beach, and then profits will also increase.
The third option is to offer beachgoers... a metal detector! Great idea for those who are thinking about how to make money in the summer in an unusual way: a businessman can search for jewelry and jewelry that has flown off or drowned during active beach games and relaxation. This type of business will be in excellent demand.
Summer cities: earnings everywhere
If you don’t want to go to the beach (more often than not, all popular coastal areas are already occupied by competitors), you can also work on city streets. The simplest and most affordable option is selling ice cream or cotton candy. Both businesses can be opened close to main walking areas, large parks and squares, as well as in entertainment venues, and the entrepreneur will never have enough clients: everyone needs delicacies and cool desserts in the summer.
If you are not interested in doing sales, you can go into tourism business. In particular, you can make money in the summer by opening a small travel agency. This is true both for cities that have their own attractions - the agency can offer excursions for guests - and for settlements where they do not exist. In this case, tourists can simply be taken on vacation to other cities and countries.
And, of course, when thinking about what kind of business to start in the city in the summer, we must not forget about opening rental points for ATVs, scooters, bicycles, Segways, go-karts... All this will be attractive to the most different ages, and you can earn money both from regular daily work and from providing services to enterprises organizing corporate parties and picnics. During the summer season, this work intensifies noticeably.
What business to open in the village in the summer?
The following ideas are relevant for both rural areas, and for holiday villages. There is also room for activity, and the first thing a businessman can offer to potential clients is the sale of plants and flowers for personal plots. A similar service will also be in demand by businesses that have their own patios, and you can earn excellent profits during the season.
In addition to this idea, you can also choose to care for plants and animals. This is especially true for those who go on vacation and cannot look after their pet or garden themselves. However, such a service is profitable not only during the holiday period - there are also many clients who do not want to waste time mowing the lawn or walking the dog in weekdays. A businessman wondering what kind of business to open in the summer may fit perfectly into this niche.
Similarly, you can offer household services to clients - cutting firewood, digging up a vegetable garden, erecting fences, landscaping, drilling artesian wells... All this will be very popular.
What business should I start? Choose!
If needed original idea, you can choose a business called “village courier”. This is work on pre-orders from customers who live far from stores and need regular purchases. In this case, it is very easy to make money in the summer: having his own transport, an entrepreneur goes to a convenient supermarket at a certain time, makes purchases according to a list of clients and earns a certain percentage on the delivery of products.
And, of course, summer is a great time for picking and selling berries and mushrooms, providing any lessons to clients (driving, foreign languages etc.), opening a summer restaurant or bakery... And even without knowing what business to start in the summer, you can easily find your own place in the sun successful business and not only earn money for the whole winter ahead, but also make an excellent foundation for the future, allowing you to subsequently work all year round.
What people can come up with to ensure comfortable existence. Few people want to spend their whole lives working as laborers for the state or for a private entrepreneur, because they really want to be a free person, independent of anyone, who can independently manage their life.
The surest and easiest way to get rich is to open a seasonal business. Many people immediately think of pasties with coffee in winter and ice cream with beer in summer. In fact, there are a lot of ideas; the easiest way to earn extra money is in the warm season; during this period, limitless opportunities open up for businessmen. If you skillfully organize your activities, you can earn thousands of dollars, and this with a meager start-up capital.
Cold trade
For those who do not want to reinvent the wheel, selling soft drinks and ice cream is ideal. There are no innovations, but this type of service is in demand and brings significant profits. Start-up capital is needed, but small. At first, you can limit yourself to equipping a retail space with electricity, a chest freezer, and a shelter for equipment. You also need to find a supplier of goods and a seller if you don’t want to stand behind the counter yourself.
Photo with a celebrity
Vacationers can take photos themselves against the backdrop of some landmark, but skilled businessmen will help you transform into James Bond, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie or Cindy Crawford. It's pretty expensive business, which requires about 40,000 rubles of investment, because you need to buy a good computer, photo printer, digital camera, and a set of clipart. But there is no end to those who want to be photographed hugging George Clooney or try on the body of some model. You can earn up to 300,000 rubles per season.
Earning money on attractions
Summer is a carefree time of entertainment; skillful businessmen build a profitable and low-cost summer business on the rest and fun of other people. Quick ideas seasonal earnings very easy to implement if a novice businessman lives in a resort town. You can top up your budget by renting jet skis, water slides and skiing. If there is high demand, the cost of equipment will pay for itself within a few weeks.
Arrangement of street catering
Depending on size starting capital You can open a regular area under umbrellas, a cafe-veranda or a cafe-pavilion in a public place. The cheapest is the first option, the most expensive is the last. This seasonal business requires submitting an application to the district administration in advance. It is allowed to sell soft drinks, beer, nuts, chips, and ice cream in open areas. On the veranda cafes, visitors can order coffee or tea with cakes, and sometimes something stronger.
There are high requirements for kebab shops or cafe pavilions; the owner will have to negotiate with public utilities, sanitary and epidemiological inspection, and architects. The costs here are significant, so such a business should be opened with long-term prospects. For a summer cafe you need to purchase plastic furniture, a tent, a counter or bar counter, a bottling unit, and a refrigerator. In order not to overpay extra money for equipment, you can negotiate with suppliers of beer or soft drinks.
Opening of the shooting gallery
Opening a seasonal business in the summer is as easy as shelling pears; you just need a little desire and entrepreneurial spirit. Children and adults enthusiastically perceive “masculine” entertainment; the former want to appear independent and brave, and the latter want to test their own abilities. You can open a mobile or stationary pneumatic shooting range.
To do this, you must register as an entrepreneur; the type of activity is indicated as “providing sports and training services to the population.” A land lease is issued for relocation, and a premises lease is issued for a hospital. After completing all the documents, the businessman can only purchase equipment, consumables in the form of bullets and start making a profit.
Making money searching for talent
From April to September you can open karaoke near cafes, attractions or the beach. We are a singing country, and after a fun day and good company in the evenings, many people gather to demonstrate their vocal abilities. Sometimes seasonal business ideas amaze you with the ease of implementation. An entrepreneur only needs to choose a crowded place, buy equipment and find a well-singing person who would attract attention to the entertainment. Equipment can be purchased for 15,000 rubles; businessmen earn approximately 140,000 rubles per season.
Earning money from landscaping
Gardening of household plots is today a very profitable seasonal business, which, of course, requires not only certain costs, but also knowledge. Real professionals are paid good money for maintaining city squares, flower beds, and beautiful and unusual design of areas near houses and offices. If you have knowledge of landscape design and desire, then you can safely get down to business.
A team of four people can plant an English lawn in a week; the client pays up to $1,000 for the work alone. If we take into account that the owner buys the planting material, then the costs will only be workers’ salaries and funds for purchasing the most simple tools- hoes, wheelbarrows, shovels, hoes.
Vermicultivation
Types of seasonal business are sometimes amazing in their diversity; there is a job for everyone. For example, you can start vermicultivating - growing Californian worms. This kind of income is suitable for rural residents, since it requires the availability of land.
The worm brings three products on which you can make money - offspring, vermicompost and extract. Business costs are minimal, preparatory work practically none. The main thing is the presence of a warm and humid place for new settlers, the possibility of regularly feeding the worms with vegetable peelings, spoiled foods, cereals, and searching for points of sale.
Hotel for pets
An ideal seasonal business for veterinarians and animal lovers. Summer is vacation time, but what should owners of cats, dogs, hamsters, parrots and other animals do if they have nowhere to put them? This is where special nurseries or pet hotels come to the rescue.
The owners place their four-legged friend in the hands of a professional, and they themselves peace of mind going on vacation. A business can be organized in an ordinary apartment, but it is better to purchase a house with a walk and enclosures. The owners pay for the food, and the businessman receives a salary for the services of a “nanny.”
Earning money from the gifts of nature
Opening a profitable business in the summer is not a problem; lovers of outdoor activities and nature can also supplement their budget. In rural areas, in forests, plantings, steppes, ravines, you can collect medicinal herbs, berries, mushrooms; in the spring, in a birch grove, it will not be difficult to organize the collection of birch sap.
Of course, it is necessary to understand plants, to know the various nuances of their collection and storage. This is mainly an export-oriented business, since they pay more for such goods abroad, and the domestic industry is not able to provide high-quality processing of raw materials.
Here are just 10 seasonal business ideas. As you can see, they are all different and require certain knowledge, skills and desires. Actually exists huge amount ways to earn money, you just need to use your imagination and really assess your strengths and capabilities.
A lot of successful people started small, no one responded to their ideas, but, as time shows, luck smiles on the patient, hardworking and resourceful. You just need to believe in yourself - and everything will work out.
