Niche themed calendar publishing
Design and sell calendars built around a specific niche theme (e.g., astrology) through retail and online channels as a seasonal gift product.
The idea, in plain language
A former restaurant owner and single mom designs and sells an astrology-themed calendar through normal retail channels, moving about $15,000 worth with continued sales afterwards. The product is a seasonal print item sold around gift-giving windows. Startup cost is design software, a print run or print-on-demand partner, and retail/online distribution. The episode cites ~$15,000 in sales.
Where the sources agree
- A narrow theme plus a seasonal gift window is the recipe
- Print product sold through retail and online channels
