Starting a small business, but not sure where to begin. Capitalise on these 5 new business trends to inspire you in starting a small business.
- Healthy lifestyles are the new mantra from healthy eating is my new junk food to the many fitness events around the city from Yoga to Trial Runs in the park. Health is becoming trendier and sociable so why not take advantage of that by opening a pop up juice bar or a frozen yoghurt smoothie store to even a health club or fitness centre.
- Freelance services, technology has allowed us to change the way we work as well as the structure of the office environment. These days if you’re connected to some digital device smartphone or laptop you have your own little office on the go. Companies are increasingly turning to freelance and contract workers to fill the skill gaps in their staff.
- Mobile services that travel to customers’ residences to do their services. Housekeeping services can save the customer the inconvenience and time it takes to find a good housekeeper. A mobile salon spa for manicures, hair, massages and so forth as a way of keeping people looking good without requiring them to make a trip to the salon.
- Cellular repair stores as most people today can’t live without their cellphones especially with the increase in smartphones in both business and personal use and as long as that’s the case a cellphone repair store within a community is always going to be an essential. Especially since repairing a broken phone can cost as much as it does to buy one.
- Contracting, more home owners are looking to purchase or improve their homes, there’s more of a need for skilled labour and workers in plumbing, pool cleaning and maintenance services or even gardeners.
