From the Evening Gazette, a new business that investigates ghosts, ghouls and other night crawlers. A group of friends have decided to ramp up their hobby into a new profession: paranormal investigators.
With hard work, help from a grant and various business management courses, the young entrepreneurs are now open for business at a time of year that invites spooky goings on. They are filling a niche that seems to be in demand, especially in the UK.
In other parts of the world, Hallowe’en also brings new opportunities for business. Whether it be costume design, eerie landscaping or catering to parties, growing pumpkins or hosting murder mystery parties, all call out to the creativity in those that are looking to start their own business.
While this time of year can give you your own spooky entrepreneurial ideas, some businesses are based on catering to various special holidays. Their product or service offering changes as the seasons change and in this way, they manage to stay in business all year round, with a never ending round table of party and decorating ideas, food and activities.
This is just one more way to operate a specialized niche business and keep it fresh. There is always a surprise around the next corner as the seasons change and the holiday ideas vary.
‘Tis the night – the night
Of the grave’s delight,
And the warlocks are at their play;
Ye think that without
The wild winds shout,
But no, it is they – it is they.~ Arthur Cleveland Coxe
