New small business. Product ideas needed. Targeting the older generation (oap's). Small shop, small town.? I am wanting to start my own business up in a very small shop in a small county near me. Where all the small local shops are, walking up and down the main road, is swarmed by OAP's, mainly women. So I'm after ideas for products to sell, that would be an eye catcher for Old Age Pensioners. Off the top of my head I can think of items like walking sticks, trolleys on wheels, umbrellas etc. Then all the smaller items like tin openers, dressing/grooming aids, shoe horns, body supports etc. Then a few basic clothing items, shoes, socks, coats, hats. etc. There's so many different types of products that appeal to old people but I wouldn't know what are the best to put into a small shop. OAP's are my target because they are the high majority of people who walk the streets, along with women & their babies. So I really need to find a good wholesaler for the sort of products for OAP's, and figure out which products are best to put into the shop, and which sell the most etc. But I really need help with the ideas please.

What do you think about this idea for a new small business? A tattoo/piercing parlor that includes a gift shop that sells handmade jewelry made from natural rocks, bone, and shells, and a great new clothing line that features artwork by incarcerated artists? I design and make all the jewelry myself. I have been around the retail gift and clothing business my whole life. My grandfather started a western clothing manufacturing business in 1935. Then sometime in the 1950's his daughter and her husband, my grandparents, opened a retail store selling the clothing they manufactured and other miscellaneous gifts. The manufacturing business was in operation for 70 years until my grandfather decided to retire and the family sold everything. I also have a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. So, I know business. Do you think my idea would fly or flop? Please give me some feedback and any ideas you might have. Thanks, ahead of time, to all who answer.

What are some good small business ideas in Southern California, or even online? I currently own and run an internet dog boutique, and really enjoy it, but it just doesn't bring in the big bucks.. I only started 9 months ago, so it hasn't been forever, but it only makes me a part-time wage, less than 1000 dollars profit a month (it varies, anywhere from 500 - 800 in general). That's how much I would make working in my city part time, but I just really enjoy it, like I said. My dad already owns and runs his own kitchen cabinet shop, but business has been slow going there.. I'm 22, by the way. I don't have a degree as of yet, although I am in college.. I don't think I want to do anything dog-related, but maybe.. My parents also want to open up a specialized sandwich shop, so we've thought of that also. Any other ideas? No bakeries or restaurants, they're just too hard.. Also thought of commercial cleaning services and courier services, as well as daycares, but nothing has really clicked. We really are in the very beginning stages of talk/ideas. Thanx 4ur ideas
