Unusual business ideas: TOP 10 extravagant business ideas that brought profit to their owners.
There are many unique people on planet Earth.
Most often, their creativity manifests itself in inventions and painting.
But just as surprisingly, they create unusual business ideas.
At first it may seem that such thoughts would never even occur to a person with standard thinking!
Not to mention bringing them to life and flaunting your unusual idea to the whole world.
Or maybe some options are not completely “absurd”?
Let's evaluate the business inventions of creative people together.
Unusual business ideas: TOP 10 unusual options
1. “Bluetooth” instead of a key
Such unusual business ideas are worthy of praise as they solve the age-old problem of lost keys.
Perhaps every person at least once in his life has lost, broken or left his keys somewhere.
The creators of this business innovation solved this problem and brought to life the idea of an electronic lock, the key for which is a smartphone.
Agree, the chance of losing an expensive phone is much lower than a regular key.
A special application is installed on the phone, which can be customized to suit your requirements.
For example, the lock will open automatically if the distance from the owner with the phone to the lock is 1–2 meters.
In case of discharge, the lock can be recharged using a special device.
Well, if there may not be one, don’t be upset - there is a special panel on the lock.
After entering a code consisting of numbers and letters, the lock will open without a smartphone.
2. Tattooing on teeth is an unusual business idea.
About 15 years ago, an unusual fashion appeared associated with decorating teeth with various rhinestones and precious stones.
Much water has passed under the bridge since then, and it would seem that people’s tastes have changed dramatically.
However, creative people have new fashion– decorate your teeth with a tattoo.
Such an original “accessory” is created by placing any illustration on a person’s incisors.
If only there were the means and the desire, the masters would be able to turn any drawing idea into reality.
This unusual business was founded by a dentist from the USA, Steve Hedward.
It costs a colossal amount of money to paint an image from this master, but this fact does not stop wealthy people.
Of course, in Russia this unusual business is not yet as popular as in Europe.
Therefore, it is worth clarifying: if you thought that a tattoo on the teeth is the same as a tattoo on the body, then we hasten to refute this myth.
These are two processes that have nothing to do with each other.
So, what is the essence of this unusual business idea?
A tattoo on a tooth can be done even without the presence of a person.
You will simply need to send a dental impression and the desired drawing to the salon’s specified address.
After this, specialists apply the selected image to the crown, and it is sent to the post office specified by the customer.
After which it can be installed in any dentist’s office.
Abroad, this business idea is thriving thanks mainly to girls under 15 years of age and women over 30.
But even small children, who receive crowns according to the dentist’s recommendations, watch such an unusual product with special care and constantly brush their teeth.
But in Russia this idea has not yet been implemented on a noticeable scale.
3. A vase that helps get rid of negative emotions
Probably, every person in life, due to constant troubles and stress, has had the desire to go to a desert island, and that he has the strength to scream at the top of his voice.
Psychologists say that this is a normal reaction of the body, which wants to get rid of negative emotions.
But, of course, it is simply impossible to use this method of psychological relief from stress in a metropolis, since it violates all social boundaries.
It’s hard to imagine people standing at a bus stop or in a cafe, screaming at the top of their voices (although, what’s more, in Russia such a picture still sometimes occurs).
The author of an unusual business idea in Japan decided to realize this need of people. They invented an unusual vase that adapts to the lips of each person who uses it.
When someone shouts into it, the invention completely suppresses the noise due to its soundproofing properties.
This unusual business idea allows you to throw out all the accumulated anger without disturbing the people around you.
4. Talking dolls based on celebrities
Talking hamsters, dogs and bears have long taken their place on the market.
Such an unusual idea brings good income to its authors to this day.
But electronic animals have been replaced by dolls in the images of famous people.
The founders of the idea were right in creating a talking toy that looked like their favorite artist, pop star or politician.
In the West, people spend a lot of money to buy a mini-copy of their idol, which also speaks.
5. Original coffins - an unusual idea for a business
Vic Fearn & Co is a large company making classic coffins.
Its management decided to add a little humor to its gloomy products.
They came up with an unusual idea to produce creative coffins for customers.
Surprisingly, this business appealed to the people of Great Britain. Now every citizen can come up with one or another idea for a coffin in which he should be buried.
The company manufactured custom products in the form of:
- guitars;
- wine stoppers;
- cars;
- airplane;
- sports bags;
- phone.
And one client ordered a coffin in the shape of a garbage container.
He justified his idea very simply: “I’ve lived my whole life as trash and I feel like I’m trash, so bury me in a trash can.”
In short, this is an unusual direction in business, but it generates income.
And for entrepreneurship, it doesn’t matter how crazy the idea seems.
The main thing is that it brings good profits.
6. “Fake” certificate confirming parental rights
Probably every person has had a desire to leave work at the end working day about thirty or forty minutes.
But in the States, if you have a minor child, then the person has the right to leave his or her workplace before others.
The goals are quite obvious:
- it is necessary to pick up the child from preschool;
- help him do his homework;
- take your child to a group or to a doctor.
Of course, such injustice angers childless workers.
It was this fact that prompted one company in New York to create an unusual idea for a business.
They issue kits with a set of things that supposedly confirm the client has children.
- joint photographs of the child and the customer;
- drawings of a son or daughter;
- pictures from various family celebrations.
You can present all this to your boss and leave work before everyone else.
It is quite logical that this unusual business idea is not particularly popular, since the presence of children can be easily verified.
Probably, a shortened day by an hour or an hour and a half is not worth the condemnation and sidelong glances of colleagues.
7. An unusual idea for an electrical cable decorated with ivy
Unusual business ideas can be born even when you are just sitting at home and looking around.
Look around and count how many electrical wires is in the room, and how many of them are hidden from view?
As a rule, in most apartments the wiring is best case scenario, neatly fixed along the baseboards.
But appearance The premises deteriorate very much because of this, it seems less neat.
Enterprising people came up with an unusual idea that helped them build a profitable business.
They created an ivy-shaped cable, the leaves of which the owner can move around at will, starting from the interior of the room.
This unusual idea is suitable for use not only at home, but also in offices, coffee shops, large companies, restaurants.
8. The sound of a beer can opening
Japanese inventors distinguished themselves by creating an unusual idea.
They invented a special device that imitates the sound of a beer can opening.
We are talking about the idea of the “Mugen Beer” accessory, which became the basis of a successful business.
This unusual idea is implemented as an ordinary can of canned food, which gives out that same “pshshh”.
This device does not produce any benefit or additional actions.
But one cherished sound was enough for the idea to bring profit to the creators, and the device was sold out in large quantities.
Many people use this invention as a keychain.
9. Shoes with a navigator - an unusual idea for those who are “lost”
But this unusual idea was created for something really important and...
Let's say a person is in an unfamiliar place and needs to get from point A to point B.
This path can be overcome using several options:
- use taxi services;
- ask locals for directions;
- use the city map.
Or you can put the address of point B in special shoes and enjoy a walk around the tourist city.
All thanks to the built-in navigator, which will guide the walker.
If a person needs to turn at an intersection, then, depending on the direction of the route, the right or left shoe begins to tremble.
This unusual idea really appealed to many consumers, so the business brought good profits.
10. Unusual business idea - selling garbage for money
Christopher Goodwin has created a strange business, the idea of which is based on selling garbage.
Likewise, in Russia you won’t surprise anyone with vending machines for selling coffee or various candy bars.
What about a machine that, for 25 cents, dispenses a beautiful bag containing inside:
- paper clips,
- broken toy parts,
- broken buttons,
- small pieces of newspapers, magazines, store receipts?
Few people will be able to understand this unusual idea for business in our country.
But, surprisingly, the founder managed to sell more than 4,000 of these units in America.
Unusual services that are provided in different countries:
1. A woman who will sleep with you in her arms for $60
Usually hugs are seen as a sign of friendship between friends or people loving friend friend. But a Penfield, New York woman has turned hugging into a business. Jacqueline Samuel, 29, opened her Hug Room in June 2012. For a fee of $60 or more, clients can snuggle up with a petite graduate student. Jacqueline only provides hugs. Intimate relationships are not included in the list of its services.
The session lasts an hour and a half and takes place in a secluded room. At this time, her family and friends protect the house from overly annoying clients.
2. A man pays money to be punched in the face if he is distracted from his work.
Like many of us, Maneesh Sethi is constantly distracted from work and surfing the Internet. Not surprisingly, his productivity suffers greatly from this. But he found it quite non-standard solution this problem: through an American web message board, he hired a person who slaps him every time he is distracted from work.
The experiment showed that his productivity increased from 38% to 98%.
3. More and more Japanese men are going to salons to have their ears cleaned. 
For the Japanese, ear cleaning is associated with childhood memories and many are willing to pay to get back their carefree days, even if just for a few minutes. Therefore, today, ear cleaning salons are incredibly popular in Japan.
Since the Japanese authorities decided to abolish compulsory medical education For those who want to clean their ears, salons providing this service have begun to appear throughout the country. After all, now, in order to work in one of these salons, people do not have to obtain a medical license.
The vast majority of clients are men who want to relax after a stressful business day. They want to be transported back to the days when they laid their heads on their mothers' laps, exposing their ears to be cleaned. 75% of clients say the procedure is so relaxing that they fall asleep in the arms of kimono-clad cleaners while they remove wax from clients' ears.
Women who want to work in such a salon must master the art of using a mimikaki (a traditional instrument for cleaning ears), so they undergo a week-long training course. They must learn to remove only a certain amount of wax, since wax protects the ear canal, moisturizes it, and has antibacterial and antiviral properties. If all the wax is removed completely, the ear canal will be susceptible to various damages.
4. Naked maids will clean your home for just $100 an hour
If you've asked your significant other to clean the cupboard and been refused, if you're also a Texas resident, consider maybe it's time to call Your Fantasy Maid in Lubbock. For $100 an hour, Melissa Borrett, who launched the company in February of this year, will clean your home in her underwear or topless. Well, for $150 you will get two half-naked girls at once.
Despite the overtly erotic routine of floor cleaning and underwear dusting, the company's website states: "We do not work in the nude and do not provide sexual services." But cleaning in negligee attracted the attention of Lubbock police, who claim that the company provides intimate services and does so without appropriate permission. "The fact that workers are working in scantily clad clothing is a violation of the law," said Sergeant Jonathan Stewart. According to Stewart, "Without the appropriate permit, the company will receive a fine of $2,000 for each day of operation."
5. The company writes personal messages by hand. 
Emails became incredibly popular, so they moved to casual uniform communication. Moreover, they are used for almost any occasion, including birthdays and holidays. However, emails get boring pretty quickly because no matter what font you choose, the email will still look perfect because of the printed font. This removes the element of personalization from the email.
Using the services of Epistly, you can send a handwritten letter to anyone. If you haven’t realized yet, the company does not deliver written letters; the company’s employees will write these letters for you. Just enter your text and address, and your recipient will receive this text in a handwritten letter. You can even simply indicate the recipient's email, and the company itself will check if it is possible to find his physical address using the email, and if not, then they will contact the recipient through this email and ask him for his physical address. Using this company's services, you can send out personal letters (elegantly handwritten) without having to spend time writing and sending.
6. The company rents out grannies 
Rent-a-Grandma is a real company in Texas and Virginia. Essentially, this company offers babysitting services in a fun and witty way. The company hires older women with experience in childcare to look after clients' children and also manage their households.
7. Email service informing a person that he needs to get rid of nose hair(if you are embarrassed to tell him about it yourself) 
Some people are embarrassed to tell others that they need to remove protruding nose hair. Why? Good question. Most likely, there is some kind of unspoken taboo that prohibits people from telling other people anything about their body hair. But now, this is not necessary. Chololi is an email service that notifies you of unwanted nose hair. She will send an anonymous notification for you that a person simply needs to remove hair from the nose of anyone.
8. The company offers mobile ambulance struggling with a hangover
“Hangover Paradise” services are very easy to use. The bus runs every day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Once you board, you can choose one of 2 packages:
The Liberation Package includes IV hydration, while the Rescue Package includes IV hydration, antiemetics and anti-inflammatory medications that effectively treat hangovers, and a vitamin supplement. Once you get on this bus, you will not be able to avoid the needle in any case, so you must prepare for this moment in advance. The service can be ordered through the website, as well as by phone and they will come for you. Once the treatment is completed, you will be dropped off at the same place where you boarded. Other services offered by the company include coffee and soft drinks, as well as iPads with headphones for entertainment. This service is a real find for the morning after a bachelor party.
The restaurant business and other areas of our lives are constantly changing and improving. Therefore, establishment owners are forced to adapt to the rapidly developing world and meet the increased demands of spoiled visitors wide range provided services and all kinds of delights. Due to the overabundance of places where you can have a delicious meal and a pleasant rest, restaurant owners have to bend over backwards to intrigue and attract visitors to their restaurant. Here are 10 creative restaurants with an original range of services provided.
Dinner in silence
Welcome to Greenpoint, Brooklyn, home of Nicholas Nauman's new restaurant Eat, where diners are required to eat their egg frittata and casserole and whole grain porridge in silence.
Nauman spent some time in a Buddhist monastery in India several years ago, which inspired him to create the idea for a silent restaurant.
The Silent Dinner is a monthly event and has proven so popular that diners have to make reservations several days in advance for the privilege of dining without speaking or hearing a word in the small room that seats just 25 people.
Dinner in the nude
Once a month, a Manhattan restaurant hosts a nude dinner party. Nudist activist John J. Ordover has come up with clothing-optional dinners where guests strip off as soon as they enter and enjoy the signature dishes.
Health regulations require staff to remain clothed even if they want to join. In addition, visitors must bring something to sit on - a towel or, for discerning women, an elegant silk scarf.
Don't worry, the windows are tinted, hot soup isn't served, and people only keep their eyes level with your face.
Offensive lunch
Dick's Last Resort is a chain of small bars and restaurants in the United States known for deliberately hiring rude waiters - they are trained to behave as such.
In addition to the staff, the restaurant's decor is wacky. His goal is to offend customers and put them in an unpleasant position. Visitors are provided with bibs and large paper caps self made, which they must wear throughout the entire dinner. There are no napkins on the tables - as a rule, waiters throw them at visitors.
This restaurant, which has picnic tables and no tablecloths, appeared after its owner's first high-end restaurant failed and went bankrupt. Instead of continuing to operate in a high-end field, the owners redirected their efforts to sleaziness. The end result was a success, leading to the creation of six more such restaurants.
Alice in Wonderland style lunch
In Japan, there is a chain of restaurants inspired by Lewis Carroll's famous fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland". Restaurant interiors, opened by the company"Diamond Dining" were created by the Japanese studio "Fantastic Design Works".
Each restaurant offers its own interpretation of the classic tale, with teacup-shaped tables, romantic lighting, waitresses in blue Alice dresses and, of course, delectable and delicious food.
Knock on the giant hardcover book and you will be admitted into this elegantly decorated restaurant. Finding yourself inside is like falling through the rabbit hole into Alice's world.
Dinner with the Dead
Some restaurants can have a really dead atmosphere, but one Indian restaurant owner says his business has been booming since he opened a eatery in an old cemetery. Instead of destroying the graves to make way for a café, owner Krishnan Kutty decided to preserve the coffins and arrange tables around them at the ironically named New Lucky restaurant in Ahmedabad.
The coffins are all that remains of the Muslim cemetery, and the cafe has become a popular gathering place for young and old.
Approximately a dozen coffins, covered with iron bars, are located inside the cafe. Every morning, when the diner's shutters are raised, waiters spend some time wiping down the tombstones and decorating them with fresh flowers.
Singing restaurant
Bel Canto mixes haute cuisine with the excitement of the opera house. The unique combination of a talented pianist and professionally trained opera singers makes evenings at Bel Canto unforgettable.
Not only do visitors enjoy fantastic French cuisine here, but they are also serenaded. Throughout the evening, four singers perform operatic classics at regular intervals, moving between the tables.
Bel Canto has two restaurants in Paris (in Neuilly-sur-Seine and the Hotel de Ville) and one restaurant in east London (at the Corus Hotel near Hyde Park).
Dinner on the edge of a cliff
Fangweng Restaurant in China's Hubei province is conveniently located next to the popular Sanyu Cave, otherwise known as the Cave of the Three Travelers, but what you might find more impressive is that the restaurant appears to be hanging on the edge of a cliff.
If you didn't know this beforehand, you might be surprised because there are no clues about how to enter. You must go down the passage that juts out above Happy Valley in Xiling Canyon to reach the dining hall.
Several tables are located on the balcony jutting out over the rock. But most of the tables are inside a natural cave.
Dinner alone
Table for one please! At Eenmaal, a new restaurant in Amsterdam, this is your only choice. Social designer and initiator Marina van Goor explains the idea of the restaurant: “Eenmaal is the same restaurant as the others, but it differs in one thing: here you will only find tables for one.
"Eenmaal is an exciting experiment for those who never go to cafes alone, as well as an attractive opportunity for those who often go to restaurants alone."
With "Eenmaal", Marina hopes to break the stereotype that there is something wrong with a person if he sits or eats alone.
An exclusive dinner that you have to wait five years for
In Barel's restaurant, created with his own hands and located in his basement own home in upstate New York for 25 years high price Personally created dishes from personally grown and harvested ingredients are served. All ingredients used in each evening's unique menu are grown in Barel's personal farm garden, including acorn meal and butter made on site.
The dining room can accommodate up to 20 people, who must arrive at a certain time in advance to take part in the five-hour dinner. The restaurant became such a hit that Barel received more than 10,000 reservations in just a week.
The cost of the meal (not including the anxious wait) reaches more than $200 per serving, but any wealthy person with the ability to plan five years in advance can have a truly one-of-a-kind date.
"Traveling" restaurant
The trend of modern and underground restaurants shows no signs of abating, but in a new twist, the Pale Blue Door restaurant, created by British artist and decorator Tony Hornecker, is popping up, packing up, then popping up again in another country, taking part in festivals along the way.
Pale Blue Door is not a simple hopping restaurant, it is a supper club and installation in a ramshackle wonderland in secret place in Dalston, London. Tony Hornecker is the man who founded the mysterious club that forces clients to travel to Santiago and Buenos Aires and Glastonbury and Berlin. Visitors are invited to Hornecker's life-size dollhouse for a dinner of... three courses, while they will be entertained by pantomimes and cabarets such as A Man to Pet and Johnny Woo.
Hornecker began implementing his idea in his studio-cum-terrace home in Hackney, London, where a jumble of windows, odd rooms, furniture, knick-knacks and drag queen performances are served with panzanella, rare beef and crumble pudding.
This restaurant, like many ingenious inventions, was created out of necessity. At the beginning of the year, Hornecker's agent went bankrupt, his work dried up, and he could no longer pay rent. Hornecker had long had the idea of starting a restaurant, and thanks to his previous experience - he had been a waiter since he was 14 and was training to become a chef at 16 - it was a natural solution to his financial crisis.
What about those stuck on the mountain or those who need representation at their own funeral. It is to provide such strange services that the following 10 organizations were created, which are ready to lend a helping hand even in the most unusual situations.
1. AIC-CERT - American Institute for Historic Preservation
When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005, more than 1,800 people died and the city suffered an estimated $108 billion in damage. Many private homes and businesses were destroyed, and water flooded museums and libraries, damaging books, historical documents, and works of art. . Hoping to preserve these priceless artifacts, the American Institute for Historic Preservation (AIC) organized a team of volunteers to salvage as many records, paintings, and encyclopedias as possible.
Subsequently, the AIC, inspired by the team's success, formed a separate group within the institute dedicated to preserving works of art in the world. The group, called AIC-CERT, consists of architects, art historians and other specialists. It offers art rescue services all over the world. AIC-CERT also conducts special seminars in which it teaches representatives of museums from other countries how to prevent a disaster (for example, how to freeze books flooded with water to prevent their further damage, or how to properly clean mold from canvases).
2. Selection of titles, slogans, names
It is often difficult to come up with a name for a child, a title for a novel or another article. It can be even more difficult to choose a name for a new product that is being introduced to the market, because the success of its sale will largely depend on this. Auckland-based organization Catchword is dedicated to finding the best name or slogan. Their clients include such famous companies as McDonald's, Starbucks, Wells Fargo and Time Warner Cable. As a rule, the client is provided with 30 to 60 slogan options.
Where to go for help in case of natural disaster or some kind of incident? First of all, the Red Cross or the Ministry of Emergency Situations comes to mind. But if a person gets stuck on a mountain while climbing or finds himself in a war zone, there is often no time to wait for rescuers. In this case you need to call professional team Global Rescue, consisting of former " fur seals". They are ready to help in the most extreme conditions... for a considerable amount of money.
The team has offices in American states Massachusetts and New Hampshire, as well as in Pakistan and Thailand. For example, during the Arab Spring they evacuated 60 people from Egypt. Global Rescue rescued people during the 2011 Japanese tsunami and the 2015 Nepal earthquake. In fact, these guys perform about 1000 rescue missions every year and they are the best in their field.
4. Unified Weapons Master - new sports system
There is one big problem in modern mixed martial arts (MMA) - a complete ban on weapons. But many martial arts systems are specifically designed for combat with a variety of weapons. The reasons for the ban are quite obvious - to avoid injuries and accidents. Australians David Paisden and Justin Forsell founded the Unified Weapons Master project, within which they want to found their own MMA organization that will use weapons.
Athletes are expected to fight in special armor made of carbon fiber and impact-resistant foam. Pressure sensors are located under the outer plates of the smart armor, allowing you to count missed hits to more accurately determine the winner.
5. Correcting errors in graffiti
Some people are "grammar Nazis" and are very sensitive to mistakes. The guys from the group Accion Ortografica Quito take to the streets of the Ecuadorian capital Quito at night, armed with stencils and aerosol cans. They are engaged in correcting all errors found in graffiti on the streets of the city. As one member of the group stated, "We will not give up until our city is free of spelling mistakes on the walls."
6. Jazz orchestra for a Chinese funeral
Funerals in San Francisco's Chinatown are always an unusual sight. When a member of the Chinese community in America dies, it is believed that his spirit remains with the body. In this case, there is a danger that the spirit will get lost and turn into an evil ghost.
In order to send the spirit of the deceased to rest, residents of Chinatown hold unusual parades. First, sweets are placed in the deceased’s mouth to “kill the disgusting taste of death.” A funeral procession is then held, led by an open-top convertible with a giant portrait of the deceased on display (this will supposedly encourage the spirit to stay close to the body). As the procession passes through the street, mourners throw money into the air so that the spirit will pay for the soul's passage into afterlife. The most exciting part of this ritual is the music. The Green Street Mortuary Band focuses exclusively on playing Christian hymns at Chinese funerals in San Francisco.
7. Scotland Yard's Super Recognizers
Scotland Yard has a special group of so-called super-recognizers. These are people with unique abilities, for whom it is enough to look at just once human face to remember it forever. According to official data, the efficiency of identifying criminals has tripled, which has a positive impact on crime statistics.
There are currently 152 super-recognizers under contract, doing some truly impressive work. In one year alone, they reviewed more than 200,000 hours of video footage and spotted 600 suspects. Two-thirds of these suspects were charged with crimes, and 90 percent of them were jailed.
8. Shadow Wolves
At first glance, the service provided by the Shadow Wolves does not seem particularly unique. This team belongs to law enforcement agencies and is engaged in catching drug smugglers. What makes the Shadow Wolves unique is their working methods. The group consists entirely of American Indians who use both modern technologies, and the ancient secrets of their ancestors. Every little thing helps them in tracking down smugglers at the border, and they have no equal in reading traces.
9. Extreme kidnapping
People are often willing to do crazy things to get a dose of adrenaline. Based in New Orleans, the group provides adrenaline junkies with one of the strangest services imaginable. They kidnap their customers.
