Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or business.
Job Description:A children’s party planner plans events for children, including birthday parties and graduation parties.
Education: None necessary.
Skills: The ability to design and execute parties for children.
Job outlook: No hard numbers exist for this work-from-home job, but anecdotal evidence suggests that this is a growing business. With more families having both parents working, outsourcing children’s party planning is becoming more popular, especially in metropolitan areas.
Possible employers:Team up with other children’s businesses, such as cupcake makers and children’s performers to pool marketing resources.
Preparation: Join Party Pixies, the Association of Independent Children’s Party Planners, for networking opportunities.
Get your foot in the door: Ask an event planner of adult parties for advice on how to start your business. Check out what area schools offer in terms of advertising, such as in student directories, at silent auctions, etc.
Until next time,
Sarah
