    Maybe fairy cakes? You can amke them and decorate with cool cake decorations in shops! Get hoodies and let people order them with a unique design on them! Or do it with bags? Hope i helped!!xx

    A good idea from my TY Class was a Pencil case made of zip's. Its unquie and the plus side is you can open it from any side.

    Ah, I was all excited for doing mini company but then my ballcock school wanted us to submit our idea and basically the whole business plan in our first week back and we're not allowed to do food or hoodies or just buy stuff to sell straight on, so I did Russian instead :p

    when i was in TY we entered the Blast:Beat Mini Company Competition and it was brilliant. Basically you are a talent agency, you hold a battle of the bands, get 6 acts to play, get judges to choose a winner and then they go on the regional (and if they're good national and maybe even international) blast:beat finals where they compete against other bands from other companies, where you have to promote them.

    there is loads more to it, have a look at it www.blastbeat.com, it was defo the best thing that we did all year, got everyone involved

    Print obscene teeshirts and sell them (i.e. kerry - where the men are queer and women have beards... thats what my mate did).

    You'll make a LOAD of money.

    Myself and two other lads are trying to get hoodies for our school. If it workes we are looking at a nice little profit!

    You could try that ?

    I started sales of my Mini Company just yesterday.
    It was a magazine, freaturing a whole load of school news, webcomics and a bunch of articles written by students. It was 8 pages long, printed on 2 sides of an a4 sheet, making 4 sheets per copy. Printing cost 40c per issue.I printed 51 issues, making 20 euro. I got the 20 euro by selling advertising to one of the shops where people get their lunch. I sold it at 80c an issue, and went around at lunch time yesterday, selling to both teachers and students.
    In the end, I sold around 52 issues, with some reprints made for friends, netting me a nice 34 euro profit, after I had paid some writers (Thing is, bitches didn't even want to get paid. Only wanted something once I had a ****ing pocket full of change).
    All in all, this went great. Going to try make it monthly.

    well last year we came up with an idea to sell ipod compatible chargers>>we made an absolute fortune by buying off a company off ebay for €3.50 and we sold them for €10....advice if possible try to do your mini company with as little as possible as everyone wants profit even after doing nothing!!

    Its not worth the effort unless you have a really good idea, the usual buy-and-sell options don't work really!!!
