Ten Million Dollar Startup Ideas

Greg Group
Do you have entrepreneurial blood flowing through your veins? Do you have the urge to be your own boss and create the next Google? Do you have the business skills but find it difficult to come up with ideas? This article was prepared just for you as I have created a list of potential business ideas that can exceed a million dollars in revenues.

The following list offers potential business ideas that can be implemented and grown to million dollar status:

  1. Fashion designs such as creating charms and/or bling for bikini swimwear that can be worn at the beach. While you're at it, think of how you can create a bikini that can add bows and different tying arrangements to supplement the design. Women will buy it if it looks good on their body.
  2. Fun t-shirts with a printed design that uses Velcro to attach a toy of logo to the shirt. For example, the shirt will have a doll print and the Velcro will allow girls to add different clothes to the shirt. Think about the possibilities such as college logos, NFL helmets added to the shirt, etc.
  3. Natural pet treats that add value to the product. For example, you may add the proper vitamins to a dog treat or just go natural with a taste that dogs prefer to eat. I would classify this as a functional pet snack.
  4. While on the topic of the pet industry, there is a big upside in pet fashions and accessories. Here you have a choice of targeting upscale boutiques or going for mass appeal. You have enormous opportunity if you can create a fashion pet brand.
  5. The wedding industry never seems to hit a recession. You may think of ideas to create custom keepsakes as wedding gifts. For example, you can create a custom picture frame with the newly wedded couple's last name on the frame or add the name to a creatively designed photo album.
  6. Office supply distributorship for small businesses. The traditional office supply store has always focused on price and availability. This model would add value by focusing on great customer service to the business front door. You may consider anticipating a businesses supply needs and call them direct rather than waiting for an automated, web-based ordering system.
  7. Another office idea, deliver fresh food and fruit to workplaces. As the corporate world emphasizes employee wellness, help them to succeed by delivering nutritious products to their office. The value card is the movement toward wellness and the convenience of having food available without leaving the office.
  8. A more challenging task would be to design and manufacturer allergy bedding products. This has been done before, but there is always room for creativity when it comes to bedding. There is a growing trend of allergies to things like dust mites, etc. The value proposition would be a focus on style and comfort by creating an allergy bedding products that look as good as high-end bedding.
  9. If you have an interest in a tourist location, there is a growing need for high-end villa rentals that provide concierge services. This is a nice model as the location and villa create a higher pricing point to start providing concierge services to affluent customers. This can take the format of contracting with existing rental properties to provide the upscale service as a value-added attraction.
  10. You may want to take the street fashion to a new level by creating a clothing brand that eliminates any cookie cutter designs. The internet will provide a global platform to distribute street wear in global style. You should consider teaming with underground designers to create a look that is unique with a fresh brand.

This is but a small sample of million dollar ideas that you can take to the next level. It is not important to be the first to implement the idea, but to create a product or service that people are happy to exchange for their money. Also, don't become paralyzed by the details of starting a new business. As in life, unexpected challenges will present themselves but that is part of achieving business and personal success.
