Get The Good Word Out With A Home Based Baby Newspaper Business

By Bill Schwarz


The birth of a baby is always big news to its family. As far as the new parents are concerned the rest of the world stops during the blessed event. This can be even more the case for the baby's grandparents.

Letting as many people know about the birth as possible is of great importance to the family. It's also important for their friends to be on the receiving end of the good news. As with all important events, people like to have some kind of souvenir to commemorate the baby's arrival. And, since from the family's point of view it's really big news, what could be a better souvenir than a newspaper front page which announces the birth?

Of course, most babies are born without a mention on the front page of the local paper. But somebody with a computer and some skills with the right software could easily make a convincing imitation "baby newspaper" for the family to share and distribute.

This could be a great opportunity for somebody interested in starting a home based business. What can make a venture like this particularly attractive to entrepreneurs is the fact that many customers would be anxious to buy DOZENS or even HUNDREDS of these baby newspapers. The first actual newspaper requires a bit of effort to put together, but making all of the additional copies that are required is a quick and easy process.

Other important occasions would also be enriched by the creation of one of these newspapers. Graduations, wedding anniversaries and athletic achievements are just a few events that people would LOVE to have something to remind them of as the years go by.

As far as businesses go, a baby newspaper business can be a very inexpensive and simple one to start. The low overhead makes it possible to start out on a part time basis and to eventually grow into a full time operation - if that's what the businessperson plans to do.

The most difficult part of operating a baby newspaper business is in the marketing. It could take a bit of time to get the word out so that the public will find out about what you're up to. This can be a lot of fun if you're a "people person." It's good to remember that your customers will generally be HAPPY about the news they want to spread, which can make your transactions go much more smoothly. So if you like to deal with happy people who are likely to be in generous moods, producing baby newspapers could be just the business for you.
