#11 – U.S. Independence Day, 2006
Although we live in a time when fewer US Americans know the history of their own country and the original intentions of freedom and liberty is was founded on, this year might offer a chance to get these folks back on track.
This is because July 4th, 2006 will be the 230th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. My research has uncovered many small towns throughout the United States who are already making plans to celebrate this anniversary with a little more pomp and circumstance than the usual 4th of July.
Combine that with the patriotism that the potential of troops returning from overseas will inspire if they begin returning home en masse and that’s why I’m predicting there will be a much stronger than usual interest and media coverage leading up to Independence Day in 2006.
Profit Ideas: Spread patriotism and earn your keep at the same time – what could be better than that? Flags sell well especially during the buildup to Independence Day – and that’s always good during the time of year when most sales start to slump. Besides the usual “Stars and Stripes”, historical flags such as the “Betsy Ross” and the Gadsden “Don’t Tread On Me” flag could be very good sellers. These are easy to source items with low wholesale costs and high profit margins that are easy to market online and either stock and ship yourself our through a dropshipper.
Websites providing information on the history of the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution in the context of today’s current events and politics could become very popular in 2006 and provide the traffic to convert into sales.
Portal sites with information about upcoming July 4th celebrations in your city or region could draw plenty of targeted traffic too. Independence Day party planning guides could also provide a good draw and allow you to market BBQ grills, picnic tables and other summertime gear via affiliate programs.
Check Your Calendar: There are plenty of holidays throughout the year. This report should start your creative juices flowing on ways you can prepare ahead of time to tap into upcoming holidays no matter where you live and what holidays you celebrate!
#12 – Geocaching
Next, I’d like to take a look at some hobby niches that I believe would be well worth tapping into in 2006. The first of these is geocaching, also known as gps geocaching. It is a form of global treasure hiding and treasure hunting incorporating satellite navigation technology and the internet.
People who participate in geocaching use small, often handheld Global Postitioning System (GPS) receivers to find a “cache” or hidden container of treasure placed somewhere on the planet. Geocachers post information about their caches and cache finds online. There is a large and growing community of people around the world playing this high tech game of hide and seek.
This hobby has only been around for about 5 years, and its popularity is just starting to catch on. This is due to the fact that the GPS technology to participate in the sport has only recently been available to the public.
Profit Ideas: As the price of handheld GPS receivers continues to drop and more media attention is given to this fascinating activity, I predict a large increase in interest in geocaching in 2006. Although there are already several large community sites dedicated to this sport, my keyword research shows that people are starting to search for geocaching information targeted to their own cities and states, for example “Texas geocaching” and “geocaching Houston”. This provides you with the opportunity to provide targeted localized content for these searchers that could place well in the search engines and be useful to your visitors. Content sites built like this would be good places to advertise and sell geocaching gear such as handheld gps receivers, geocaching coins, and geocaching software.
Outside the Box – You could create and promote your own geocaching contest as a marketing device for whatever product or service you currently offer. This would allow you to take advantage of the current community of geocachers and their websites. For example, if you are an online baseball card dealer, you could bury several geocaches containing old baseball cards and issue a press release about your contest and post your geocache contest in the online forums. This could bring some instant buzz and media attention to your business.
