I’ve moved to a new state & small ish but wildly popular tourist town for outdoor adventures. I had a job my first 2 months so I had paystubs to get here but got laid off last week (thank god).
What business would you start in a small town? I come from a advertising & graphic design background.
I’ve had several small businesses in the past which I have left or sold for various reasons. I’ve reached the point of being unemployable and am tinkering with the next chapter of life.

Party rentals/power tool rentals
Tourist’s need entertainment, food , lodging and transportation.
Food and cocaine, people usually need one or the other
Grocery store
I’d start an art studio with tattoo artists and have ppl compete in a way, like building a team and go win tournaments. That’d be nice
Mowing lawns probably your best ROI honestly
If I was younger and wanted to hustle I’d totally do lawn mowing, waves, power wash, and use an inexpensive and thankless lost leader like $8 leaf bag fills on Facebook to get in front of people, who then buy all the other services from you.
When I was 15 I used to make $1000 on a Saturday and that is 26 years ago.
I personally would do one of 2 things
-
sticky product - high recurring use digital products to flip in a community
-
sticky service - monthly retainer based service in the b2b space with a large value discrepancy - customer acquisition/design/financial
-
ANOTHAAAAAAA ONE !!! 👏👏👏👏🤣
Market research whether the outdoor adventure sector needs advertising and graphic design support.
I would simply invest that money into a couple of small businesses and generate cash flow but each their own…
I’d start saving more money, probably
I’d probably start a small town/small business advertising + graphic design agency.
Can you provide rentals for any of these outdoor activities? (Bikes? Kayaks? Paddleboards?)
Or if it’s a big tourist area, are there tons of AirBnBs that you could provide rentals for? Roll-away beds, baby cribs, strollers?
