TEN GREAT WAYS TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY continued...
WHEN WORDS ARE SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH
Despite what we say to the
contrary, most of us are sentimentalists at
heart, and here we have a
trait which when capitalised upon, has created
highly successful businesses
or those who have simply come up with a
unique or sufficiently
different way of pandering to our afflictions.
Baby's first shoes can be
preserved for ever in a coating of gold, silver
or bronze, thereby sealing
those cherished memories of the owner's first
tottering steps for doting
grans and grandads.
Every Valentine's Day finds
a rush of firms offering Heart-shaped this,
that and the other, with
which to woo the recipient of an overt and often
eccentric means by which to
convey undying love.
Messages trail most
conspicuously, on long, bright and highly noticeable
streamers behind the tail of
a suitable noisy light aircraft.
'Teddy' in the shape of an
individually dressed bear, can be delivered
almost anywhere, usually at
very little notice. The message printed on
his sash will accomplish
more than any gift card could ever dare to hope.
Champagne and baskets of
'not on my wage' goodies can be delivered to
the recipient's door, and
almost every service offered can be individually
tailored to reflect the
occasion. Silver weddings, 21st birthdays and
the birth of a baby are but
a few.
Wedding cushions on which
the rings are proudly displayed for blessing
and subsequent presentation,
are neatly and lavishly embroidered in pastel
silks and tassels. The bride
has a souvenir to cherish for ever, and the
skilled needle smith finds
his or her bank balance suitable inflated.
I've seen to, the chance to
have hand embroidered the wedding table
cloth upon which the guests
have placed their signatures.
In a recent crafts magazine
I find the offer of embroidery and needlepoint
kits, specially created from
photographs the customer provides. Our dogs
and children at their most
appealing can be recorded on cloth or canvas
for ever. This I must
confess is something I could not resist, and when
time allows, my precious
boxer dog, sadly no longer with me, will gaze
down at me from the space I
will clear above our fireplace, for the
embroidered replica of her.
These examples, and I
apologise for including so many but I have actually
barely touched the surface,
must surely convince you of the potential
goldmine out there, for
anyone who can dream up an idea to compete with
or better those services
already available.
