Many seniors and busy people almost never have the time or a way of going shopping for themselves whether it be for groceries, gifts or personal supplies. You could become a personal shopper to these people. They will come to you whenever they are in need of shopping advice or services. The best way to do this is to find the best sales on products and supplies the client needs and save the some money in the long run.

If you already have a car that has enough room for grocery bags and some shopping packages then you are well on your way. You can invest in some flier paper and make your own at home to post all around town, in salons, stores and centers for seniors. Here you will find the best clientele in need of the services you are offering. This is wonderful for people who were really born to shop.

This is a good business idea, especially for someone in a rural area or small town. I have friends that live over half an hour from a variety store -- farther from many specialty shops -- and this type of service would be a godsend to them.

Remember though, to work through the details of starting this or any other business and be sure to take into account business licenses and permits, sales tax requirements, and insurance (both liability and vehicle).

Best regards,

Molly Donaldson
