BUSINESS IDEAS 1)

STARTING A ORGANIZED SHOE REPAIRING RETAIL CHAIN

This is something we can go for, as there are no dedicated shops which repair branded shoes like Reebok, Adidas, Puma, Nike etc. along with providing a little customized features to the footwear.

2) OFFERING SERVICE FOR VARIOUS ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS This is a good idea as normally services provided by manufacturers are very costly which people cannot afford and there is a tendency among the consumers to avoid until the equipment completely breaks down. SALIENT FEATURES  We can design a website for booking and also allow tele-booking.  The target market is huge and we can provide service at much lower costs.  Diploma holders can b hired as serviceman with low salaries hence low cost of service.  Financial feasibility is also there as set up and operational costs are not that high.

HIGH TECH SECURITY SYSTEM OR BIOMETRICS

access. Retina scan, finger print identification and other biometric identification are the ways to do it.

ORGANIC FOOD BUSINESS

One must have heard about genetically modified organism or the GMO. One surely would have heard about the possible effects it may do to the body. And with this concern, there is an exponential increase of the number of people who are becoming more and more careful to the type food they eat. The organic-food business is booming: About 70 percent of Americans buy organic food occasionally and nearly one quarter buy it every week, according to the Hartman Group, a market research firm. For most of us, the reason is simple: We want natural food that's better for us and for the environment Since organic foods are 100% safe and clean, the market for this is growing at a fast rate. Organic foods may have higher nutritional value than conventional food, according to some research. The reason: In the absence of pesticides and fertilizers, plants boost

As per ranking given to the Ideas, Shoe repairing retail chain is the most feasible idea. ATTRACTIVENESS Another reason to have a shoe repair and shoe care routine is your appearance. Do you want to get ahead in the workplace? A nationwide survey showed that 89 percent of business recruiters rate good grooming as very important to becoming a senior executive. The most common mistake for men, and the second most common for women, is unkempt shoes. On a personal level, two out of three young female professionals say unkempt shoes suggest negative characteristics about men in social situations. Half of the men feel the same about women with sloppy footwear. The most frequent negative character traits suggested were sloppiness, indifference to good grooming and to detail in general, and carelessness. Shoes are a reflection of their owner's personality. That's what both personnel professionals -- who have been known to observe people closely -- and white collar workers (the people they usually observe) said. Well kept shoes stand for professionalism, attention to detail, ambition, efficiency, conscientiousness, organization, confidence and even friendliness.

Given the above facts this idea is attractive enough to start a business with. DURABILITY: The idea of starting an organized shoe repairing retail chain is durable in the sense that certain new features can be added like: In addition to replacing soles and heels, here are some other footwear-related services you can find at your local shoe repair shop. 

Shoes can be stretched for increased comfort.



Shoes can be adapted to fit unique feet.



Heel tips can be changed from hard to non-skid rubber.



Heel savers can be applied to prolong the life of the heel.



Protective soles can be applied to prolong the life of the leather soles.

New Shoes One can also visit the shoe repair shop with new shoes. Here are a few ways shoe repairers add value to new footwear. 

Protective soles can be applied to extend sole life and increase slip resistance.



Shoes can be dyed if a color change is necessary.



Shoes that are too tight can be stretched up to a quarter size.



Plastic heels can be replaced with slip-resistant rubber.



Shoes can be weatherproofed for added protection in wet or oily environments.

TIMELY Since the target segment is more self-conscious and fashion forward so it is an appropriate time to come up with a retail store providing such a service when there is no big commercial competitor. Also the customers would get the facility of customizing their shoes according to their favourite colors, attributes and other related repairs.

VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS Footwear isn't just part of the wardrobe, it is an investment. Spend your money wisely and the return will be more value for your dollar, more comfort, better foot health and even a sense that you are helping the environment. As with all investing, it is wise to have a counselor to make sure your money is well spent and continues to pay dividends. In the footwear arena, that counselor is your local shoe care professional. Shoe repair and shoe care make sense for several reasons. First, shoe repair adds value to your footwear investment. Quality, well-maintained men's shoes can be resold seven to 10 times at a fraction of the cost of new shoes. With new soles and heels, and reconditioned uppers, the shoes will look like new, yet retain that broken-in, comfortable feel. It is not uncommon for a man to get 30 years out of a good pair of shoes. Quality women's shoes can be resold three to five times. Shoe repair can also alleviate a variety of physical problems. Worn heels will change your gait. When you are not walking properly, your feet, ankles, knees, hips and back can all suffer. Improper fit causes calluses, corns and bunions. Shoe repair shops offer stretching services and fitting aids to alleviate those problems.
