Are you looking for extra income to add to your pocketbook? Have you ever thought about Concrete molding? In today's market we are seeing a trend as homeowners are spending money on their homes and purchasing quality items such as concrete benches, birdbaths, fountains, and sculptures.
If they can't afford to travel and are spending more time at home then they figure why fix up the premises and enjoy it.
So where do they go to find these items? Not far or maybe too far.
Decorative concrete is not something that can be easily shipped around in bulk cheaply.
So for large hardware, homeware, and garden shops that carry some items it is usually cheaply made and of poor quality Yet the consumers still spend $100 to $500 for these items.
Next they look to local at local nurseries and craft shops and since no one local to you is making them they can't find any.
Trust me once you start making your concrete garden art word will spread fast.
