Been gifted a pop up shop for a while.
No rent.
What would you do either selling, service or community wise, but obviously making money. Thanks.

I wouldn’t bother unless I already had a business, not worth the hassle!

You could offer the space to charities to utilise?

Exactly, talk about fifty thousand questions lol.
What sort of people will be passing lol.......
Thanks to those that gave ideas.

Sorry but I suspect this is doomed to failure if you think asking what kind of people will be passing is a joke.

Understanding your target market is essential if you want to make money.

Not all businesses will be successful in all places.

Asking "what kind of business should I run" without any info about how what time of year you have the shop and how long you have it for, the people you'll be selling to, what other shops are there etc is the tail wagging the dog IMO.

You'll be successful if your shop meets a need. But we have no idea what the needs of local people are as you've given us no info on them.

How long will you have this shop space for?
A day? A week? A month? Or longer?

Idea. 1, Can you crochet/ know someone who can? I think you should make cat toys, little mice and snakes stuffed with catnip. Her off money for nothing did that and made hundreds £££. **

Idea 2, get all the bits together to make a spring wreath, box it up, sell as wreath making kit.

** thinking about it the money for nothing lady just chopped up old crochet blankets so didn't even have to do the knitting bit.

Idea 3, best idea, do Tarot readings. Don't have to be an actual witch etc just read the meanings out from a book.
