Most of us have had a pet that just cannot hang on to their nametags. They just disappear on a regular basis - especially if your pet hates it.
Offer a service that will embroider all of the important information needed on collars for cats and dogs, or any pet that typically wears a collar. If the collar is still on the pet and the pet is lost, you will get them both back because of the contact information stitched on the collar!
If you sew and have a sewing machine that you can use to make these collars, this could be the business idea you have been looking for. You could sell these attractive customized collars for about $15 each. Offer them in lots of fun colors and embroidery designs. Making them from washable fabrics will be a nice option to offer too. If collars were more comfortable, the pets might feel inclined to leave them on. However, you also have the option of using pre-made collars and just embroidering the pets' important information on them too. If you buy the collars in bulk from a wholesaler, you should be able to receive an inexpensive price on them; this will keep your costs down and provide you a good profit margin.
There are many new high tech sewing machines on the market that can make this project easy to do despite your level of skill concerning needlework. If you don't own a sewing machine already look into how much it might cost to purchase an embroidery/sewing machine. If the price seems reasonable you might also think of purchasing fabrics that would be durable enough to put on a pet for a collar. The nice thing about making collars like this is that you will not have to use much fabric to make them, and this will keep your cost very low!
Your initial investments will be in thread, fabric and a machine that will embroider for you. Then invest in a site that you will be able to sell them on, or if you would prefer offer your collars at flea markets and fairs. Whatever your choice will be, it should be a fun project to pursue.
Taking the collar idea even a step further - it would even be a great wristband idea for Alzheimer patients that have a habit of wondering off or for toddlers that wonder in stores and other crowded places. The information is stitched right on the wristband, and no one in your family will ever be lost! You could offer a second business doing the same thing for other types of customers. Your wristbands could become a popular item to wear!
