Man finds business opportunity with lipstick boxes
A Hangzhou man makes around 10,000 yuan ($1,527) per month by beautifying lipstick boxes for two hours a day in East China's Zhejiang province.
Similar to those who like to paste protectors on their mobile phone screens, many people like to customize their lipstick boxes in order to show the uniqueness of their lipstick.
Xiao Tian, a student at Zhejiang Gongshang University, saw an opportunity and started a lipstick box sticking business between 5 and 7 pm on the street.
The prices he charges for sticking each lipstick box range between 10 yuan and 30 yuan, depending on the brand of the lipstick.
Stickers with patterns used in the Palace Museum or the Forbidden City are very popular among young women, according to Xiao, a member of the post-1990 generation.
