Custom branded candy business
Manufacture and sell custom-branded candy (e.g., conversation hearts) as promotional products and seasonal items for businesses and consumers.
The idea, in plain language
A marketing executive invents her own branded candy hearts when she cannot source them for a client, then builds a six-figure seasonal side business selling custom-branded candy as a promotional product. The model is B2B and seasonal: 90% of revenue arrives in one short window per year and the rest is residual. Startup cost involves food manufacturing, packaging and fulfilment. The episode cites six figures.
Where the sources agree
- The product came out of a real client need, not a brainstorm
- It is overwhelmingly a seasonal business with 90% of revenue in a short window
- Manufacturing and fulfilment are the hard parts
