Commercial pranks and good-natured jokes could be the next big thing for you. Imagine a brick-and-mortar or online store filled with whoopee cushions, fake spiders, and talking skulls. Running a joke and prank store means you'll be offering a range of comedic products designed to give people a good laugh.

The business involves sourcing quirky and humorous items—from classic prank tools to the latest in gag gift trends—and marketing them to a demographic always in need of a laugh. You'll need to stockpile goods, create a playful store atmosphere, and perhaps engage in clever social media campaigns to capture your audience’s interest.

While the humor industry might seem like all fun and games, there is serious potential for cultivating a loyal customer base. Entering this market requires both a sense of humor and a solid operational strategy, making it an intriguing venture for those passionate about spreading laughter.
