To the opening seasonal business You should prepare in advance - there is no time to build up, summer will fly by quickly, and with it the opportunity to earn money. There are amusement parks in every city, which means you need to think about what services will be in demand.
The specificity of seasonal business is that there is no time to build up - you need to prepare for summer in advance and treat the business as a full-fledged project. In resort towns, summer is a golden time, when the number of vacationers exceeds the number of indigenous residents.
But also in others populated areas the people live up in the summer, especially on weekends, the parks are filled with vacationers, many come with their whole families and are ready to spend some money on pleasant little things. It would be a sin not to take advantage of the opportunity and not create conditions for fellow citizens for a complete and varied urban recreation.
Traditional types of seasonal park business (attractions, selling ice cream and soft drinks, photography) do not require advertising. If you manage to come up with something new, take care of the advertising, which should be catchy, with recognizable images and attractive conditions.
Success is achieved by those who know how to think flexibly and change quickly. The time to correct errors will come only in a year, so hurry to take advantage of the opportunities here and now.
This win-win business in places of public recreation. It is unlikely that anyone, after spending several hours in the park, will not buy a portion, a glass of cool lemonade or a pie, etc.
You can organize trade in a summer cafe under umbrellas, in a stall, on a tray, or simply from a cooler bag attached to a bicycle or scooter. You will have to prepare for the opening of a stall or cafe in the fall, as permits, documents and approvals from municipal authorities are needed. Tray or portable refrigerator much easier to organize.
You can recoup your investment in a business selling ice cream and soft drinks in just a few days, since in the heat the goods fly away, and the markup compared to wholesale price sometimes reaches 200%.
For seasonal use, a rented or used refrigerator is quite suitable, the price of which does not exceed 15,000-16,000 rubles. You can enter into an agreement with ice cream manufacturers or wholesalers, then you will receive a refrigerator for free, but you will be able to sell only certain types of goods. According to reviews, during the season, a mobile point with ice cream and drinks can bring in up to 60,000 rubles in net income. If you install a network of 20 or more points in the parks, by the end of the season you can become a couple of million rubles richer.
It is more profitable to sell ice cream by weight and soft ice cream, but organizing such a point is much more difficult, mainly due to the strict requirements of the sanitary and epidemiological station.
At making the right choice a summer cafe location in the park is guaranteed to bring profit. To open a cafe, you need to collect an impressive package of documents and obtain permission from the municipal authorities. Add to list necessary documents will definitely include:
As a rule, cities announce a competition for applications for the construction summer cafes, in which businessmen with a “tarnished reputation” and complaints from visitors have no chance of winning.
In addition to permission local authorities, you will need a canopy, pavilion or tent. It makes sense to cooperate with one of the brewing companies - you will receive branded glassware and a free tent, but you will be able to sell beer from only one manufacturer.
Buying a tent will cost approximately 40-45 thousand rubles; you will also need furniture (bar counter, tables, chairs) and dishes. Total costs- in the range of 80-100 thousand rubles, but they will pay for themselves during the season, since the average profitability of these establishments reaches 35%.
Another sure way to develop a seasonal business. The location must be agreed upon with the city authorities or the park administration, as well as with the local cultural department. You must have safety and quality certificates, documents confirming compliance with standards and regulations, without which attractions cannot be permitted. Prepare a package of documents and photographs of all attractions. It is not necessary to advertise an amusement park - bright colors, joyful music and beautiful uniforms of workers will attract visitors without additional invitations. The more money you invest in attractions, the greater the return will be. On average, the park pays for itself in one and a half to two months.
At the right approach this business can bring good profits. Of course, ticket prices cannot be the same as in, but for the evening show under open air there will definitely be spectators. A movie under the stars is romance, fresh air and unusual experiences.
Few people go there specifically, but parents, walking with their children in the park, do not deny themselves the pleasure of testing their vigilance and steadiness of their hands. Money invested in equipment summer design shooting range and the purchase of pneumatics will pay off in a month and a half.
A license to purchase pneumatics with energy up to 7.5 J is not required, and you can equip the pavilion yourself, rent it or buy a transformer - the price ranges from 20,000 to 180,000 rubles.
Try to attract visitors not with empty tin cans and printed targets, but with something more interesting, for example, mechanical toys and prizes.
They buy cotton candy willingly - no one needs to be persuaded. The profitability of this business is incredible - one serving is sold for the price of a kilogram of sugar, while its production requires one tablespoon of granulated sugar (9 grams). The price of the equipment depends on the performance and the company - there are devices for 3,000 rubles. and for 150,000 rubles. If there are parks in your city that have not yet been chosen by competitors, urgently occupy the territory and give people joy.
You can sell it anywhere - it will be bought up in, on the street, in mall and, of course, in the park. Why not crunch some corn while sitting on a bench in the shade? To start a business, you need a popcorn machine, specially prepared corn kernels and disposable cups. To make popcorn even tastier, you can diversify its taste with additives. Popcorn costs ten times more than corn, the demand for it is always high, and the equipment is inexpensive.
If you live in a city with a large flow of tourists, it makes sense to do it. All equipment is limited to a table or rack for displaying goods, and you can purchase souvenirs from wholesalers, large manufacturers and individuals involved in hand-made goods. It’s even better if you can produce something interesting and original yourself - in this case, in the summer you can sell the work you made at home in the winter. Crafts, magnets, knitted products, painted dishes - all this is still in demand among city guests.
Inexpensive attributes in holiday destinations summer holiday will be in demand. The purchase price of such items is 50-80% lower than the selling price, and the only equipment needed is a table for laying out the goods.
You need to set up a tennis table in a light tent or under a canopy, and charge for the time you play. If possible, equip the site with electric lighting, then the operating hours of your service will extend until late in the evening.
Find a safe place where children can ride on a free area or paths, and parents will be happy to please their child. Purchasing bicycles and cars will require financial investments, but you will return them within the first season. This business is relevant from the first warm days of spring until late autumn.
Just 10-15 years ago, photographers in parks made good money, but now everyone has a mobile phone or a camera that allows them to capture every minute of life. Your chance to attract the attention of the public is through an interesting setting. Stock up on theatrical costumes, a carriage, a throne, exotic plants and everything that your imagination tells you. It is unlikely that you will return your investment in the first season, but after a few years the investment will definitely pay off.
Entertainment business ideas. Everything a person is willing to pay for to brighten up his leisure time and diversify his life.
We often write on the site about interesting accessories for mobile phones. In addition to various applications that expand the capabilities of smartphones, applications for the phone, as well as a special one, have appeared on the market. However, the invention of Russian engineers from St. Petersburg will soon open up completely unexpected possibilities for our smartphones. Their new attachment turns a regular cell phone into a night vision phone.
Every person, from time to time, discovers that his home has accumulated a certain number of things that he no longer needs. Outdated clothes, gadgets, books, equipment, toys and photo frames lie like dead weight on the shelves, tormenting the owner. Throwing it away is hard. Giving it to charity or selling it is a hassle. If only someone would come and take everything at once, preferably for money, or just like that, for a good cause. Businessmen Alexey Barinsky and Dmitry Ukhanov thought something like this when they launched a new service in Moscow called “Dump” or free removal of unnecessary trash.
There is no need to rush to erase such a concept as barter from your vocabulary. As practice shows, this type of mutually beneficial exchange can fit absolutely harmoniously into the framework of the 21st century. So, in New York you can pay for visiting a fitness club by preparing the premises, in one of the French restaurants - , and in Scotland you can save on housing for . The new kind Barter from Transylvania is a little bloody in nature, but serves completely humane purposes.
The world's first virtual reality park, VOID, combines haptic interaction with external visualization to take the virtual world further high level. With the latest techno-developments, virtuality in VOID Park promises to become even more “sharp” and rich in emotions with complete immersion in an imaginary world.
Children and their parents are fertile ground for making money. The former want entertainment, the latter are willing to pay so that their children have something to do. Children also need educational services, food, transportation, etc. This is why services for children and business ideas related to children have good profitability and often “burn out” if the demand and available supply are correctly analyzed.
What is good about the entertainment industry for a businessman – a wide choice different options, both expensive at the launch stage and quite budget-friendly.
Let's list the classic business ideas for children in the entertainment sector:
Attachments: from 100 thousand to 500 thousand rubles per 100 sq. meters. The minimum specified amount of money will be enough to equip the playground with not the most expensive slides, swings, sandboxes, plastic toys. In some places you will have to make the flooring from soft rugs and artificial grass. Separately, it is worth calculating the rent of the territory (if you do not own a suitable plot of land located in good location), the cost of fencing it, the cost of the work of the observer. We must not forget about benches for adults who will keep an eye on the children. Payment can be charged for an hour, for half a day, for a whole day of stay on the site (with the right of free entry and exit for the paid day).
Business payback: if the site is located in a park or in a densely populated microdistrict of the city, then it will be able to receive an average of 30 children per day, and at least twice as many on weekends. The ticket price will vary depending on the time spent at the site. On average, you can get 150 rubles from one child. In total, even with the most conservative calculations, expenses of 100,000 rubles will pay off in the first month, larger investments - within six months. The business cannot be called 100% seasonal - if you pull up the awnings, you can ride on slides and swings, as well as play in the sandbox, even in the cold season. Although the influx of children will be several times less than in summer.
I recently learned about an English family who set up a real amusement park on their farm (and called it Mountain View Ranch, its website is mountainviewranch.co.uk):
This park occupies 100 acres of land (404 thousand square meters). More simply, this area can be imagined as a huge square with sides of 636 meters.
There's just so much to be found in this area of wild land.
There is sand and benches under sun umbrellas:
There are wild bushes that you can walk between.
You can ride a Segway along the forest trail (as well as on a special track):
Although you can ride Segways everywhere in this park:
There is entertainment for all ages, especially for children (after all, families come here). You can ride simple horses:
And you can climb on rope structures:
There is also just a slide:
A place for making a fire and archery is a must:
There is a petting zoo where, in addition to pigs and rabbits, you can see chickens, kids and horses:
There are fairytale trails with a magic tree for children:
fairy-tale characters:
and living fairy-tale characters:
You will find even more photos, as well as information about the entertainment offered in this park, on the Facebook page: facebook.com/thecentreofadventure/ (by the way, it has a lot of likes, which indicates the popularity of this park, despite the age of the business).
You can watch a purely childish look at the entertainment in this private park in this video:
For tired visitors, a married couple will offer relaxation in spacious lounges (in addition to armchairs, sofas and tables, there are books and board games):
And for those who are hungry there is a huge dining room:
Judging by the size of the dining room, there are a lot of guests here. Business is booming. And this is not surprising (although it is surprising that it grew so quickly in just two years of existence). I looked at the prices of a private amusement park - they are more than modest - only 3-4 pounds per person (for staying in the park the whole working day - from 9 am to 5 pm).
However, you have to pay for some attractions. For example, the cost of a rope ride is 13 pounds for two people. Segway rides cost £25 for 50 minutes.
The park also accepts group and corporate applications. It also allows you to celebrate birthdays on its territory (for a fee).
In the coming year, the entrepreneurial family plans to build another treehouse, several tepees and add several adventure trails.
If you look at this business from the outside, it does not imply large quantity financial investments (well, except for payment for land, of course. But land outside the city should not be particularly expensive). Especially at the very beginning of development.
Bring sand, build simple attractions and wooden benches with awnings - not very difficult. First, you can prepare a place for small companies and gradually acquire new attractions and new entertainment venues. This is not like building a Disneyland - everything is much simpler. But it also brings in income.
Because people love to relax. Moreover, they like to relax unconventionally - not in sanatoriums and city parks and squares, but on wildlife, by the fire and wigwam. In the fresh air and away from the hustle and bustle.
Moreover, this private park is not located near London or any other large English city. It is located a few kilometers from the small town of Caerphilly. Here's what the area looks like through the eyes of Google:
I got acquainted with the entrepreneurial history of this English family. First (in 2004) they created a children's cafe. Then, in 2009, they organized a children's game center in the city of Cardiff (population 300 thousand):
This gaming complex occupies a smaller area. It has both outdoor and indoor play areas. Therefore, it works in any weather, at any time of the year. It has approximately the same principle of charging for entry. The pleasure costs from 6 to 7 pounds per child (depending on the day of the week). And you can also stay in it all day - from 10 am to 6 pm.
And so, probably, when the entrepreneurial couple realized that the business was going well, and felt the strength to create an even larger-scale similar business, they decided to open a similar family amusement park on larger area(she, however, had to borrow money from investors; but since she had already proven her entrepreneurial viability, the investors gave the money without a squeak).
Therefore, if you are not confident in the future success of your enterprise, do not immediately take on a large scale. Create something smaller and less expensive. Try your hand at your chosen field of business with minimal investment.
I also think that the success of a business depends not only on entrepreneurial experience, but also on the chosen field of activity. It’s not for nothing that the family of entrepreneurs mentioned above chooses businesses related to children - they are interested in it and succeed. It’s not a fact that it will work out for you (perhaps because you don’t like children).
Moreover, you need to start with a smaller business in your chosen field in order to understand:
- Is this your topic?
- Do you know how to run a business?
That's why this type business is certainly not for everyone (like any type of business). But I personally really like the idea. I would go to such a park with my children.
If we learn to create similar amusement parks in our cities and villages, our people will be able to have organized recreation in nature not only during vacations and holidays, but also just on weekends or during the week. The children will run around and have a blast. Adults will rest and breathe for their loved ones fresh air- for a reasonable fee. Benefit for everyone.
The entertainment business is one of the most interesting. As soon as the weekends and holidays arrive, people flock their hard-earned money to have a good time and relax in grand style. We bring to your attention both old ideas in the field of entertainment and new ones that have not yet proven themselves in our country.
Business before pleasure! But in this hour, while others are having fun, you can earn so much that this proverb in relation to yourself can be said a little differently: “The business has an hour. And everything else is fun! How do you like it? Like?

“What progress has come!” - I just want to repeat the words of the famous song from the movie “The Adventures of Electronics”, seeing another miracle of technology at some technical exhibition. I remember I said this phrase 10-12 years ago, when I saw a Segway for the first time. Back then it was something out of the ordinary. And I certainly could not have guessed […]

Nothing is more inspiring in business than the story of other people's successes, especially those that were achieved, as they say, from scratch. So first I want to tell you one thing cautionary tale, the essence of which is that any situation, even an extremely unfavorable one, can be turned to your advantage if you don’t give up and put in at least a minimum of mental effort.
The theory of the famous Scottish economist Adam Smith that demand creates supply has so far been refuted by no one. And it is precisely under this law that business operates now. There is a need for a product, which means it will be produced and sold. However, people now live more according to the principle of the ancient Romans, who shouted to their rulers: “Bread and circuses!” And those spectacles [...]

A mobile planetarium is a successful business idea that you can implement in your city. Man has always been attracted by distant stars. How many science fiction films have been (and how many will be!) made about other planets, galaxies, and even universes?!
