Default Re: Retro Craze Brings In 3,000 Orders/Month

Here's an excerpt of a story I wrote for The Business Fastlane and just got reprinted in
Spare Time Magazine

RETRO CRAZE BRINGS In 3,000 ORDERS/MONTH

Are you old enough to remember eating Jiffy
Pop StoveTop popcorn, Sugar Babies or Necco
Wafer candies? What about those wax lips or
wax mini bottles?

About 5 years ago, 45 Year Old Colleen Chapin
moved from Wisconsin to sunny Florida. She
liked the move but was unhappy she couldn't
find her favorite candy in her new state.

She called some candy suppliers and not only
located her favorite, but other long forgotten
candies she hadn't eaten since she was a kid.

That gave he an idea. Supply "retro" candy
to baby boomers they used to enjoy as kids.

She lined up suppliers, created a website and
launched her new "retro" candy business right
out of her house.

It's been a sweet success :-) She now has over
400 products and sales are approaching $1 million
a year and she recently moved into a new spacious
warehouse.

What favorite memory from your past can you
turn into a profitable business?
