An On-Demand Business Sure To Hit Your Funny Bone

It’s almost that time of year again, where millions of high school and college students will take the march to “Pomp and Circumstance” and graduate. This annual event presents an opportunity to create a gift that relatives and friends can give to the graduates. Zilly Books provides gag books in their Everything I Learned series for just such an occasion. Started just last month, the company offers a large selection of gag books for numerous events including graduations, birthdays, holidays, and career milestones.


The idea of gag books has been around for a long time; however, using print on-demand technology keeps the start up costs low. The books are all printed at Lulu.com and are shipped to the customer within a few business days. The entire business went from idea to sales in just over 45 days. This is part of the speed and ease of using companies like Lulu to create products on-demand.

If you have an on-demand business success story, than we’d love to hear from you and post it here. Send us a quick email through the Isthmus Ventures contact page.
