Perfume
Make the world a better-smelling place by making or selling perfume.
Starting a perfume business is an endeavor that combines artistic personal expression and business know-how, and if approached correctly, it can result in an excellent profit margin. In-depth knowledge of chemistry and science is not necessary. All that's needed is the desire to experiment with various scented essential oils, the ability to research wholesale suppliers of the necessary materials and the willingness to establish resale contacts or put in the time and effort for a sales website. Step 1
Draft a business plan for the perfume business. At a minimum, include a mission statement; statement of initial goals; statement of three-, six- and 12-month goals in terms of a desired number of product offerings; the desired number of retailers reselling the products and desired cash flow; and financial forecasts, including startup costs and budget, income, profit, loss and cash flow statements. Constantly update and tweak the business plan with real-world numbers as they become available. Step 2
Investigate perfume recipes, or make distinctive blends by purchasing some small sizes of essential oils in fragrances that are of interest. Spend some time getting familiar with the scents. Start blending scents together, make notes and through this experimentation arrive at a few favorite scents to mass-produce.
Step 3
Research perfume bottle, tester bottle and sample vial wholesalers and the designs they offer for each type of container. Choose a bottle shape and size to represent each of the fragrances, and contact the wholesaler that supplies this bottle. Ask how many bottles/units are required for a minimum purchase and how much that minimum purchase costs. Also inquire about the tester and sample sizes. Arrive at an agreeable price for all the containers required and place an order.
Step 4
Design a logo to represent the business, and incorporate the logo into a range
