Instructions

Find Cheap Plastic Eggs

1. Locate a plastic egg wholesaler, so that you can get the best price on plastic eggs. You'll want to order in very large quantities to save as much money as you can.

2. Don't worry about buying them before you sell them, unless the shipping time is very long, or you want to promise your clients a fast turnaround.

3. Train your clients to order at least two weeks in advance.

Create a business plan

4. Calculate the cost of absolutely everything. You might want to offer special packages like "boy toys" or "girl toys" or toys modeled after cartoons or any other theme. You might even want to make adult-themed Easter eggs.

5. Create package sizes. For example, the minimum order might be 50 eggs, with your packages coming in 50-egg increments.

6. Calculate the exact cost of all the ingredients in a 50-egg package for each of your themes. Add into that the amount of time it takes you to stuff each egg. Multiply it by 2 or 3, depending upon what your clientele will tolerate.

Create your Advertising Material

7. Use flyers or e-mail, egg-shaped fridge magnets or stickers to advertise your business.

8. Visit your local radio station during their morning and afternoon broadcasts. They might let you come on and talk about your business.

9. Consider donating a set of eggs to a chidren's hospital or church.

10. Advertise via pre-schools and daycare centers. Offer to give them a set of eggs in exchange for sending flyers home with every child.

11. Team up with a party rental store and get a giant rabbit costume. Having a big rabbit hand out your flyers at a large public event will attract little children. While the kids are hanging out with the rabbit, you can talk to their parents about your eggs.

Running an Easter Egg Business

12. Schedule your egg-stuffing time carefully. Charge more per hour the closer it gets to Easter, so that your clients are encouraged to order early. The last thing you want to do is stay up until midnight stuffing eggs.

13. If you end up with more orders than you can fill, consider hiring someone to help you fill them. Decide whether or not you want to pay them by the hour or by the egg. This is a good business for families with older kids.

14. Deliver your eggs on time, and include advertising material --- like a promotional sticker or rub-on tattoo in each egg.

15. Keep a database of your clients, so that you can remind them to order in advance next year.
