We are already doing a car wash and rummage sale, but I'm looking for new, unique, and fun ideas.
Answer
Umbrella Service â If you live in Seattle this idea may be for you! A local Boy Scout troupe got permission from the local grocery store to stand at the entrance and walk people to their cars with umbrellas on a rainy weekend. People really appreciated the considerate gesture and the troupe made some pretty decent money. I think it is always important for young people to provide a service rather than to just ask for money, donât you?
Family Movie Night â Show a video indoors or consider renting an outdoor movie screen. Charge a small fee to attend, and sell drinks and popcorn, too. You could add a few jars for additional donations. If you have a group of outgoing kids, you could put on a small dinner theatre or evening of humorous skits. Serve spaghetti and Italian bread. There is a good chance you could get the food donated. This works really well for church groups, if you have a recreation room to use.
Host a Basketball Tournament â This is great for a sports team . A local group raised over $500 dollars doing this and had a lot of fun, too! Each team paid $10 to get enter. One team had four generations on it! Most teams consisted of family members. Of course, you can sell hot dogs, chips, sodas and popcorn purchased at your local discount retailer.
Rent-A-Kid â Have the kids do appropriate chores for people, such as, cutting lawns, washing windows, babysitting, raking leaves, folding or ironing clothes. (Okay, you know, all the things they donât do at home!) A group that did this know a lady who was moving and the kids packed and wrapped all of her china and crystal. She was so appreciative she made a very nice donation!
Flocking â This is so much fun! People purchase âinsuranceâ, say for $40 or you can take a chance and have a âflockâ of flamingos (or any other bird) land on your yard. Without insurance you have to pay to have them removed. Itâs good to do this within a âband familyâ or church group that really knows each other. It can become a great tradition over the years.

Anyone have ideas about what I could name my Home Staging business?
Lau
Home staging is like interior decorating for real estate...if you've ever watched "Sell this House" or any of those other shows on HGTV, that's it. I'm starting my own business and I'm having the hardest time thinking of a name! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've been looking up theater vocabulary and thinking along those lines...names like: Red Curtain Home Staging, Upstage Home Interiors, Grand Entrance Home Staging, First Impressions, Sell By Design, Designed to Move, Spotlight Home Staging, Ovation Home Staging...but nothing has made me say "That's the one!"
Answer
Hello Lau,
The key to finding a name for a business is to find a way to make the person think:"Ahhh...now THAT's seems like it would be the answers to my problem."
So, when I think of Home Staging, the thing that immediately comes to mind is how your service would help me to make a good first impression with potential buyers...which is why your "First Impressions" name really jumped out at me.
For me, the name "First Impressions" forced me to think about the benefits of hiring you as a home stager: to help me make the RIGHT kind of First Impressions with potential buyers.
And THAT'S the kind of response you really want your future customers to have when they first encounter your business!
Best of luck in starting a Home Staging business that will make your targeted niche of customers go absolutely crazy!
