Unusual Business Ideas That Work:

In the winter of 2003, 2 globetrotters met on a flight from New York to Los Angeles and started chatting about their travels. One of the fliers, a fine-art dealer, wondered why the art selection at many top-notch hotels was so poor.
‘The ‘poster art’ on the walls degraded the entire experience of staying in a 5-star hotel,’ says the art dealer, Vincent Vallarino.
The other traveler, a hotel-management veteran, agreed - and the seeds of a small business were planted. The following year, they set up shop as Metropolitan Art Group LLC and approached upscale hotels with an original pitch. Metropolitan, or MAG as it calls itself, supplies the hotels with fine-art prints to gussy up their rooms and common areas. The hotels can then sell copies of the prints to guests who want a memento of their stay.
