For a parent, nothing is scarier than the
disappearance of their child. Currently,
every 40 seconds a child goes missing in the
United States. As a result, one of the most
lucrative, and beneficial, businesses you
can ever get into is one specializing in
Child ID Services.
Child ID service businesses are businesses
that help parents keep track of their
children in the world. Often, they will sell
kits with pocket IDs, fingerprint kits, CDs
with information on them in case the child
is lost and more. For the right person, who
wants to make a difference in their world,
this is one of the most fulfilling jobs that
they can have.
The Concept
Essentially, you offer solutions to parents
and guardians to keep their children from
getting lost, and if they get lost, helping
the children get found in a quick and
effective manner.
You will be selling to parents the concept
of technology as a way for them to kept heir
parents safe. This includes anything to do
with IDs, digital information and
photographs. As well, you will provide
parents with information and techniques that
they can use to teach their children how to
keep safe when they are out playing in the
park with friends, or on their way to
school.
For this type of career, you will need to
pass a criminal record check and you will
have to have the ability to be a salesman,
or woman, on occasion. If you can get into
it, and be successful at it, then you are
working in one of those few careers that is
helping make the world a better place, and
helping parents get peace of mind about
their children.
Startup Costs
Startup costs for this type of career can
vary. If you decide to join into a
franchise, which will give you everything
you need to be successful at the business,
then you are going to pay upwards of $15,000
to $20,000. This is out of reach for some
people, but the great news is that child ID
service businesses can be cheap to start up
if you go for the low-cost decision. With a
digital camera, fingerprint pads, ID tags
and CDs, you will be able to start your
business and give your clients everything
they would have had, and possibly more, in a
franchise. You can expect to pay between
$200 and $1,000 to start up your business by
getting all the needed information, training
and equipment to launch the business and be
successful.
How to Market It
You will want to market this business
everywhere. At the supermarket is a great
place because families are often there, and
it is a place where children do go missing.
As well, market your business to churches,
pre-schools, community centers and
businesses in the area. By focusing your
advertising and marketing on areas where
there is a lot of parents and children
together, you will be able to tap into that
vital part of the market that lies between
success and failure for your company.
Word of mouth is an excellent way to market
your business and if you can provide proper
service to just one client, the business may
begin to flood in. In fact, if your services
help locate a child quickly, you may have
more work than you could have ever
anticipated.
