Most of the time, we have romantic ideas that will blow away the mind of our loved ones but can’t fund them. One of these ideas is taking them for a spa break on their birthday or indeed any other special days. Here are some ways you can raise cash fast before the date.
Return items
This is a smart way to raise money. If you have bought anything in the past 90 days that you regret, you can take it back to the store for a full or part refund. Heck you don’t even have to be regretting the purchase to return it. It is a worthy sacrifice to make in order to provide your loved one with a special experience. I got this tip from Forbes of all places. To return the items though, they need to appear new, you need to find the receipts and you should still be able to find the packaging intact.
Set up a Plumfund
Plumfund.com is a crowd funding service used by many people to fund baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, funerals, etc. You can therefore, set up a plumfund for that spa break with your loved one and get the required funds before time. It is a great alternative to those unique variants of bingo games online you usually use for fun. However, it is important to note that the platform is similar to what is obtainable on all crowd funding platforms. Your success is dependent on your presentation and on the discretion of donors.
Sell cold drinks on a hot day
The drinks could be fresh juice, or the classic lemonade, or something more exotic if you have some cash to spare for the venture or just bottled water. The profit margin ensures you will make decent profit selling dozens of bottles in a week or more. However, you need to confirm what the law says about selling bottled drinks. In some places you will need permits and health department license but even in such places, there is a very miniscule chance of getting in trouble for being a temporary cold water seller. Your operation will go unnoticed most of the time. Every now and then the lemon or lemon juice companies will send out free cardboard lemonade stands for you to use with your little business venture. I used one with my kids when they were small! Look at all the good this gal did with her Lemonade Stand!
Sell Scrap Metal
Do you have lots of copper, iron or brass lying around your backyard? You can scrap some of it for cash. There are scrap yards and metal recyclers that will pay decent amount for ferrous and non-ferrous materials like steel, iron, brass, copper and aluminum. Gather these materials and see how much you can get for them. Copper is often the most valuable though so you should get a decent amount if you have lots of copper to offer. Don’t get me started about any old gold jewelry in those dresser drawers from past romantic relations!
