Children love receiving letters. They would love a letter even more if it came from a cherished fictional character or from a famous celebrity such as Santa or the Easter Bunny. You can fulfill a child’s fantasy by writing a special customized letter that arrives addressed to him from his most cherished character.

Starting this business can be as simple as setting up a website explaining the service you offer along with samples of children’s letters. Have professional looking flyers and brochures printed up to market this fun business idea locally. On the website, you could include a questionnaire that asks what character your child would like to receive a letter from as well as general information such as your child’s name and age so you can customize the letter to meet his needs. Your letter should be written on bright, cheery paper since children love glitz and color. You could even include a small paper gift with each letter such as sticker or bookmark. Imagine the smile on a child’s face when he receives a personal letter from his favorite storybook character or the Easter bunny!

There are a variety of ways to promote this fun business idea. Start by posting flyers and brochures at your local libraries. Offer to come into the library and do a free story hour. This will help you connect with local children so you can market your services to their parents. Another viable market are your local daycare centers. Ask the owner or manager if you can display your brochures at the checkout counter. In return, you could give them a small percentage of each sale you receive from their location. Do you have a children’s bookstore locally? This is another site where you could market your children’s letter writing service. Other places where you should post your flyers and brochures include pediatrician offices, children’s hospitals, children’s museums, toys stores, ballet studios, schools, churches as well as children’s clothing boutiques and shoes stores.

Once parents see how thrilled your child is to receive a personalized letter, they’ll use your services again and again and will very likely recommend your business to other parents. Make it a priority to rent a booth and participate in any local children’s expos or events. You can reach a large number of potential parents who would be interested in your services this way.

This is a fun business idea you can do at home and potentially build a healthy income using your writing talents. Why not give it a try?
