First off Thank you for taking the time to embark with me upon a  Great Adventure , to bring to fruition a business idea that will bring joy, happiness, laughter, and amusement to someone's life in the form of  The Dancing Mascots . Let me tell you there's a lot of hard work and preplanning involved in this adventure, I've been working on setting up a website  thedancingmascots.com  as well as blog pages on  twitter  and  facebook  along with  youtube  until recently I was totally clueless of how to go about it. But fortunately, the world web and youtube are great places to search and learn. I've been paying for the web hosting, Domain searches, little bits here and there. Researching on where to purchase the mascot characters, pricing and availabilaty, lucky for me theres alot to choose from but not cheap they range from $150-$5200 U.S I got The Dancing Mascots idea by chance, my wife showed me a video she got sent to her on facebook it was of this person dressed up as a cow mascot in a grocery store doing a dance routine, it was hilarious my wife and 3 teenage kids along with myself were all glued to my wifes iphone watching this character laughing our butts off, needless to say, I started looking for more of the same or simualier  and thus a business idea came to be.Wouldnt it be great to book a mascot or mascots for your event, all my mascots will be trained to act as a professional member, use of drugs or alcohol while entertaining will not be allowed. They'll be able to dance, goof around, give hugs and pose for pictures, I'll be doing a lot of free promotion to get my mascots known they'll perform for children charities, Boys & girls clubs, animal shelters, most of the proceeds will be going to the clubs or charities themselves, that's why A trade show is a perfect place to launch, probably every vendor there could use my mascots to help promote their business, kids just love mascots.Each mascot will have there own blog page for there fans to follow, eventually this business will be easy to be duplicated and started up anywhere, that's where franchising comes in, there are hundreds of different mascots available plus each company I researched will make custom mascots tailored to my specifications, for different holiday events ,rent out mall space and have photo shoots with your favorite characters,the potential is endless. You just have to close your eyes and envision what can be, the sky is the limit. And like I tell my kids so I take my mascots to do a charity event and don't make a lot from it, whats the worse that can happen you made someone laugh, smile be entertained and gave them a memory, sometimes that's worth more than money
