In 2004 and 2005 I operated a Santa Letter business. It wasn’t something that I really planned on doing, I fell into it without a lot of planning.
The first year I made a nice little pile of cash and had some fun with it. The second year I made four times as much money (almost $2000) and even had to get some help from a friend to get all of the letters out on time.
When I told my son that I was going to sell the business he was really disappointed (He rather liked the extra Christmas cash!) but I felt like as nice as the extra money was, I had lived and breathed Santa Claus for about a month and the rest of my business suffered.
So, I offered the website and supplies to a fellow work at home mom and hung up my mail clerk apron forever.
I learned a couple of things during those two years as Santa’s helper.
One: People seek variety for their Santa Letters. There’s always room for someone with an original approach.
Two: Santa fields some crazy requests ;)
