Christmas is a very busy
There are lots of business opportunities around this period. There are a lot of small Christmas business ideas you can explore. Here are some low capital businesses or services you can engage in for some profits.
Food selling
Package raw food items in smaller quantities to meet the financial needs of your prospective buyers.
Everyone doesn’t have the financial capabilities to buy a full bag of rice and other food items. You could buy in bags and repackage for sales during this season, everyone wants to have something on their
table to eat, making it affordable for the very many people out there whose budget is slim is a very crucial way to make some sales.
Online Marketing
Most of the online marketplaces or individuals who have products suitable for holiday gifts are mostly not specialists in online marketing.
They need specialists to help them put their products in front of people. Over millions of prospective buyers from across the world.
If you’re a digital marketer, it’s to send out your proposals to freelancers and let your followers on social media know what their business would gain by using your services. So digital marketers go out there and extensively market.
3. Rent your place or rather run a food and breakfast place. Short let.
During this season a lot of People from different places travel to catch fun. This is especially during and after Christmas. These people need a decent and secure place to stay with their loved ones. To those in the real estate investment, terraces that have the required amenities would definitely meet the high housing demands of family members who would love to spend their holiday away from home. Do you know why this is a good business opportunity in places like Lagos, Abuja, Osogbo, Obudu, PH, Ibadan, and so many other cities?
Demand for hotels during this season is usually very high due to the influx of people, as such bed and breakfast places could complement the overbooked hotel rooms. But please be sure to check identities before giving anyone room.
4. Creating branded gifts
Beginning in October or say November of every year, most companies and small business owners begin to make plans on gift items for their staff members.
Some of them don’t just give out the items, they also want the gifts to be unique and carry their company logo. If you’re creative, or a graphics designer, or have a knowledge of designing, it’s time to put up samples of your designs on social media to let your followers know what you can offer.
A lot of people have made money from this business during the Christmas period through the New Year.
5. Go shopping.
A lot of people are really busy at this period and do not have the luxury of time to go shopping especially food stuffs like pepper, onions, tomatoes etc. Let people around you know you can shop these consumables on their behalf for a little fee. Also encourage sharing. This is a way of pulling funds together and buying the items then sharing. Christmas is a period where traffic is really very crazy and the heat is heavy with the crowd too, especially in cities like Lagos, PH, Abuja and some other big cities.
6. Selling Items
Most of us like to wear new shoes, clothes and all on Christmas or New Year, you can start selling these items. The good part: this business has been made easy. You can do your selling business on pre-order sale service. How does this work? Go online: amazon, eBay, ali express, Jumia, Konga among others are some of the places to get samples of the items you want to sell, download the photos and begin to market on your social media profiles, on WhatsApp etc When a customer makes a financial commitment, then you order and deliver. Don’t forget to get the cost of delivery to your customer’s location and the actual price of the product before giving your customer a specific price.
7. Plan events
Event planning isn’t a completely new business, but what we see around us every year shows that people love to fix events during the “ember month” e.g house warming, golden jubilee, silver jubilee, Alabama, and all lol Not just that, this is the time when friends love to have a reunion party, this event needs a planner to make the occasiona classic.
You can earn between NGN 80,000 to NGN 500,000 from just planning an event, depending on the financial status and class of the organisers.
8. Hampers
The Christmas period is known with hampers. Christmas hampers. This is also a business opportunity that can fetch you extra cash even as you look forward to having a juicy holiday. Make hampers and supply to stores. Supermarkets etc. This is a very good way to make some extra cash this period.
9. Sale of fire crackers (bangers)
When we were younger, our parents would buy fire crackers two months before Christmas as one of the gifts for us. It was fun!
But because of the insecurity in Nigeria and the failure of users to take precaution when using them, the Nigeria Police once announced its ban.
However, if you are in a country where this Christmas gift isn’t banned, you can make a lot of
money from it. Kids love it, even some grown men and women, irrespective of religious affiliations, buy them to usher in a new year.

10. Baking
Cakes, chin-chin, doughnuts, peanuts, and puff-puff among others are perhaps the most popular food items people consume during Christmas and New Year celebrations. Go out there if you are a baker and get yourseason. Cookies, chin chin etc in peoples faces. Groundnuts, peanuts and cashew nuts are not left out too. These are commonly served to guests and also snacks around many homes during this s3ason.
11, Decorator
While some people might want to simply hang the Christmas light in their sitting rooms or on the fence of their apartment, a lot of others want the lighting to bring out the beauty in a unique way.
This is a service you can provide for people who
want class and aesthetics, most especially hotels, clubhouses, and recreational centres that need a professional light installer and a decorator.
You don’t need a special skill, to be creative like using the light to form names and other readable things. You can make money doing this for people.
Balloon decoration is equally becoming a thing now and people are making money from it. A friend just paid 40k to someone to do a balloon decor for her sitting room and I was shocked it cost that much.
12. Catering services
I know a family that hosts a lot of people during Christmas and New Year, they explore the services of caterers to cook and serve food to people in their community.
There are lots of other families that need catering
services, reach to them, it could be through family members. Let them know it’s something you can provide. A lot of people want cooking not to keep them from enjoying their holiday let them know you can do it for them.
13. Lease your land for party
If you have some plots of land that aren’t in use yet, people who need a spacious location to host friends can rent. This is mostly a good business in cities like Lagos, PH and Abuja. Sometimes venue can be really hard to find during this period. Regardless of how tough the country is, millions of homes will break barriers to enjoy themselves with family members during Christmas and the new year. In fact, other businesses you can explore include decoration items, renting drums, plates, canopies, chairs etc, selling takeaways, nylons, providing tourism guides, selling Christmas trees, decorations and be a Christmas tree designer. Photography is also a very good business as people would love some professional shots aside from the ones they snap on their android phones. This is a time when people might want to buy things ahead of time, most times, buyers don’t have enough space to keep them. If you have a secured storage facility, this is another business opportunity that can fetch you money.
