If you are thinking of launching into the business world, I suppose your idea is to create a profitable business, right?

But how do you know that your idea will be a success? Is it important to highlight starting some type of business? Are those who follow the "fashion of the day" truly profitable businesses? Is Online Business The Future? What about traditional businesses?

How many doubts !!

… ..Well, at least they are the ones I have when I think of booming businesses…

Let's start from the beginning. 😉

Launch a successful business

Vivimos en una sociedad en constante evolución y cambio, es por esto que debemos conocer adaptarnos para no quedarnos obsoletos; Y esto es cierto tanto para las persons como para las empresas.

When starting a business, you have to take into account all the items (or at least the most important) that influence your activity so that we know how to react to them.

In my opinion, I think there are three main items to take into account to increase the chances of a business success.

  • The sociocultural and demographic changes, cause new needs to which your company must know how to respond quickly and effectively.
  • The new technologies that can be incorporated into your company, to try to give a faster response to consumer needs.
  • The globalization and its advantages, both to find good suppliers and customers anywhere on the planet. Therefore, your business must be competitive and global.

Taking into account the three previous items, we can already get an idea of what are the booming businesses; businesses that are succeeding in recent years.

If we look in our city, we see how there are new trends every time, what we were saying about socio-cultural and demographic changes. This is seen mainly with the appearance of new businesses with different themes.

Here, as an example, in Madrid, organic product stores, hairdressers, gyms (low cost), etc. are more frequent. I am sure that if you live in a big city you will also have seen new businesses.

From my point of view, these are the booming businesses and they will continue down this path.

Drones

Much was said when they began to manufacture them. The idea seemed like something out of a movie. But today they are marketed and anyone can have a drone ... well, anyone who can afford it ... and anywhere in the world.

I remember when I was traveling in Vietnam, we went up to a viewpoint and there was a drone there! Yes, a tourist had brought his drone to make videos. It seemed incredible to me, but at the same time I have to confess that it made a lot of noise and was a bit annoying.

Pero sin tener en cuenta esto, los drones se comercializan al público y además son utilizados por empresas, a modo de ejemplo Amazon.

3d print

A few months ago I went to an exhibition of 3D printing at Fundación Telefónica in Madrid. It was impressive. The truth is that I had no idea of everything that was already being done with 3D printers.

In this exhibition there were toys, models, prostheses, jewelry, shoes, household items (chairs, vases, etc.) and even clothes. All this in different materials and using a 3D printer.

For me this has been a clear example of how new technologies have given rise to new businesses, true booming businesses. For this case, good quality products are obtained, avoiding generating large amounts of waste, at lower prices and it can also be used in different sectors.

Virtual reality

Until a few years ago when we talked about virtual realityIt sounded like something we only saw in movies, right? But now you can see that it is available to everyone, and it is increasingly being incorporated into classic devices.

Virtual reality has developed primarily in the video game industry. Despite everything, it can be included in more sectors.

In the coworking space where I work there is a company that designs virtual reality glasses, and in recent months they have gone from having 3 workers to 6. It is not only growing in size but also creating technological advances that are beneficial to society.

Applications development

Do you have a smart phone? How many applications have you downloaded?

Los avances tecnológicos y las empresas lo conocen muy bien. Es por ello que han hecho del móvil su mejor aliado para llegar a los consumidores, comunicarse y fundamentalmente para aumentar sus ventas. A través del desarrollo de aplicaciones, brindan a los usuarios acceso a información, contents and its products.

But at the same time, there are applications that have been created to facilitate some day-to-day tasks, or basically to entertain us. As an example: applications for personal administration, health control, notes, photo editing, social networks, there are also applications to generate money, etc.

Pero, ¿por qué el desarrollo de aplicaciones es un negocio en auge? Debido a que se encuentra disponible para todos. Con la capacitación adecuada se puede aprender mucho sobre desarrollo, y sin tener que pertenecer a una compañía se puede comenzar a desarrollar una aplicación para comercializarla, ya be de forma directa al consumidor final oa empresas.

With this I do not mean that it is easy, no. You have to spend time training, developing an application that solves an obstacle, updating it and correcting bugs, and then thinking about marketing it. It usually starts with a beta version to test and verify its operation.

My recommendation is that if this interests you and you have an application idea, you can apply for grants, aid to investors or create a crowdfunding project.

Food trucks

Cambiamos el scope, pero no es por esto que menos importante. Los camiones de comida.

What are they? This term is used to refer to large vehicles, generally trucks equipped to prepare and market food. Before it was associated with fast food, such as hamburgers, fries, sandwiches. Despite everything, in recent years you can also find gourmet food trucks. In addition, with the use of social networks, they have made them very popular.

booming business

In Spain, for example, at events, concerts, fairs, etc. you can see food trucks specialized in some type of food and recognized by them. And there is no shortage of those who belong to renowned restaurants, who have not missed this possibility either.

Barbershops

Although this profession is nothing new, it is one of the booming businesses that is going strong, since it covers the social needs of a part of the population.

The beard craze is here to stay, or at least it looks like it's going to last a long time.

Men have seen many benefits to using one, mainly looking more manly, attractive and slimmer; This is stated by the complementary newspaper El Mundo, elbuho in this article.

In reality, we see how new premises dedicated exclusively to beard care such as hairdressers have been opened, and some have even created a chain of franchises that are distributed in various points of the big cities.

This is another example of a booming business that meets certain needs of the population produced by social changes.

bikes

Bicycles are a perfect gift for children, but also for adults.

Society is changing, our concerns also change. Now we are more concerned about pollution (it is becoming a serious obstacle), we are concerned about our health. For these and other reasons, we look for transportation alternatives or basically it becomes a good activity to do outdoors.

Everything related to bicycles has become a booming business. Whether it is the sale, the repairs and also the rent; fundamentally in large cities, where also following the example of other pioneer cities, bike lanes have been enabled to circulate with greater safety.

Craft beer

Beer lovers are in luck, there are more and more places with a great variety of craft beers.

This is a booming business, which does not specifically need technological advances to grow. But it is a product that despite the years, remains the favorite drink of many people.

Organic foods

I have said it before, we care about our health and more and more.

Surely you have seen the BIO products section in the supermarket, right? Even private labels now also have products in this category.

The name of these products means that they have not been treated with chemicals or pesticides that are not natural, that they have been grown according to natural cycles and that they are not transgenic (genetically modified).

The sale of bio (biological) or eco (organic) products has increased. This is another example of a booming business seen in many cities in many countries.

Low-cost products or services

Who has not seen the words low cost in some place?

I've seen them in various places: gyms, hair salons, clothing stores, bars, airlines (decidedly), etc.

Low-cost products and services have become a real booming business in many cities, enabling consumers to save money. Despite everything, the benefits and sometimes the quality are reduced, for example in the case of airlines you have to pay for luggage in the hold or for a snack.

If you are thinking of starting a business, you might consider this alternative. The main idea is to get a greater number of customers to buy your product or service, so that your profit margin is profitable.

Pet Products and Services

The dear pets, is that they are cute.

In other posts I have already talked about how important pets are in families, and that is why the concern that they receive the best care.

We see more and more businesses related to pets: hairdressers, accessories, hotels, nurseries, training schools, etc. Many already existed, but now they have reached the Internet and this has contributed to their expansion.

Some start-ups have viewed this sector as a business possibility and they have not been wrong. For example, platforms such as Holidog or Dogbuddy, are specialized in finding pet sitters, trainers, walkers, etc., they are present in different countries.

Booming companies: conclusions

In summary, I am going to tell you about the experience of a wine producer that I met yesterday. He inherited his grandfather's vineyard but had no idea about wines when he started. He's only been in business for 3 years and he does everything (or almost everything) with the help of his wife, from tending the fields to looking for clients, everything. He told us that these years he did not have vacations, but he has learned a lot about wines, about caring for the countryside and he proudly presented us with the wine he has obtained, telling the story behind each one.

Te lo digo, debido a que crear un negocio, de cualquier tipo, necesita mucho esfuerzo. No te voy a mentir, vas a tener que sacrificar tiempo o dinero, o ambos. Tendrá que aprender, investigar y actualizarse constantemente. Dispondrás que realizar tareas que antes no conocías. Quizá las ideas de este post no sean para todos, ya lo sé. Pero saber cuáles son los negocios en auge en este momento, lo guiará sobre lo que puede hacer y ofrecer a la población para tener éxito.
