Sidelines can be a very profitable source of income for both retail and service businesses. While your main business might be selling books, offering related items such as greeting cards, day planners and bookmarks might turn in to a profitable customer impulse buy.
Service businesses can offer related services, as well. As a web designer, I also offer web content and blog writing services to clients. These customers often have a web site they are happy with, but do not have the time to update it themselves. That is where my services come in.
It can be advantageous to diversify. Never offer something that you cannot deliver and make sure you count the cost first. But a well chosen sideline can be a real boon to your business.
