The festive season isn't just about light and joy; it's also a time of great opportunity for small businesses and part-time entrepreneurs. Markets are vibrant during festivals like Diwali, Chhath Puja, and Navratri. Demand for everything from decorative items to puja materials suddenly increases exponentially. This is why starting a small business now can generate substantial income by Diwali. The key is that many of these tasks are so easy that they can be done alongside your job or studies. All you need is a little common sense and a timely start. You don't need to spend a lot of money.
Decorative items can generate significant profits.
During the festive season, everyone wants to decorate their homes, shops, and offices. Consequently, the demand for decorative lights, wall hangings, rangoli stickers, and artificial flowers increases rapidly. These items are available at affordable prices in wholesale markets and can be sold at retail for a good profit. If you don't have a shop, you can sell by setting up a roadside stall or using a van in societies.
You can earn big money from diyas.
From Navratri to Diwali, the demand for earthen lamps is always high. You can make them yourself or buy them in bulk from potters and sell them. To start on a small scale, it's possible to make diyas at home using molds and a simple machine. Decorating these diyas with colorful colors can further increase their sales.
Bumper profits from puja items
The demand for puja items like incense sticks, camphor, dhoop sticks, sandalwood, roli, and kalava increases exponentially during festivals. These items are available in bulk at low prices and have good margins. Sales can be started from a small stall or kiosk. Some vendors even go door-to-door, especially in areas where there are a lot of religious activities.
Electronic lights can boost your income.
The consumption of decorative lights increases exponentially during festivals. LED lights, chandeliers, and sensor lights are especially in high demand. You can buy them in bulk and sell them at retail. Selling them is also possible by setting up stalls in small shops, haat bazaars, or at society gates. The profit margin is good, and sales continue until the last day.
Statues and candles also sell in huge quantities.
Statues of Lakshmi and Ganesha become a necessity in every household during Diwali. Designer candles, along with these statues, are also a popular choice. Statues made of clay, plastic, or resin can be purchased from wholesale markets or directly from artists. With the right packaging and presentation, they attract customers quickly.
A flower business will boost your income.
Flowers are needed for both worship and decoration during every festival. You can earn a good income by setting up a flower stall near temples or colonies for a few hours in the morning.
