Expanding a Scrapbooking Business – Finding a Need and Filling It

I mentioned in a post at Blisstree, Scrapbooking with Alzheimer’s Patients, that I had taught a workshop at nursing homes.  A reader inquired whether I sold kits so individuals or nursing homes could do it on their own.

Yes, I do put together the kits, but I hadn’t actively promoted this business because I’ve been wondering what direction to take.  However, this inquiry got me thinking…“Here’s a need.  I must fill it.”

So now I’m doing more than dabbling.  I’m putting together a business plan.  It seems practical at this point in my life, because it’s a fairly simple kit to compile, along with a booklet (I need to finish this) of instructions and ideas.  I’ll also include the memory questionnaire that the residents had such fun discussing with us.

Keep attuned to ideas that pass your way…to inquiries about your talents or your current business.  Perhaps there’s a way you can diversify and incorporate other products or services that would have appeal in this days of a struggling economy.

How can you brainstorm with your business, or expand your hobby into a home business?

What comments or questions have come your way that you haven’t paid attention to?

Let’s brainstorm!!
