Creative Business Ideas to Get You Through the Pandemic

The new rules of social distancing have led to adaptations in just about every industry. From salons offering customized root touch-up kits to virtual farmer’s markets and “drive-thru zoos,” the entrepreneurial spirit of every business owner is being tested in a whole new way. In this post, we’d like to share some of our favorite creative business ideas for getting you through this period of required social distancing.

Family Pizza Party

Pizza restaurants everywhere are getting hip to their customers’ need for fun family meals. What better way to create a memorable experience with your children than to create your own pizzas at home? Local joints like Pistolese’s Pizzeria in Apollo Beach, FL, and Sammio’s Italian Restaurant in Fayetteville, NC have started offering DIY pizza kits, while other Italian eateries are offering even more DIY meal options. At DiAnoia’s Eatery in Pittsburgh, PA, customers can now order make-your-own Cacio e Pepe kits and build-your-own Gnocchi Bread Bowls, based off of two of their most popular dishes.

Ship, Shoot, Sell

Our favorite photographer, Brandi Morris of Brandi Image Photography, is helping business owners everywhere build online storefronts in record time. All they need to do is ship their products to her studio where she will shoot them. Just 24 hours later, she delivers shop-ready images for publishing to a DIY e-commerce site like Shopify. Not only is this a fantastic way to help out her fellow business owners, but it’s also a creative way to overcome the slowdown in bookings for live event photography.

Drive-Up DJs

Drive-by birthday parties may have been around for some time, but they’ve never been as popular as they are right now. The trend has inspired a whole new industry: drive-up DJs. Not only reserved for socially-distant birthday parties, drive-up DJs like DJ Ryan O in Moraga, CA are also taking to the streets to help communities reconnect with each other in a safe way. We love this idea for its entrepreneurial spirit and its ability to inspire joy during a time of acute stress and uncertainty.
