Make Extra Income from Mobile Snacks & Soft Drinks

Have you ever been to a kids' soccer game? If you have then you might know by now that when the sun is high, these kids run to their parents for a bottle of water; sometimes their team manager will have orange slices for them. But you might also know that there is always the chance that the water and orange slices might run out. So you could use this knowledge to start your business.

The idea is to make a roadside snack stand. All the players and audience will benefit greatly from your services. All you need is the right vehicle and a cooler. You might also need a license, but that depends on your area. Starting with chips and Coke or Pepsi is a good idea to get things rolling.

Generally you can't sell on school property, so make sure that you are slightly away from school grounds. If you consult your lawyer, they will be able to tell you whether you can stand on school ground or not.

For a vehicle, you can consider a hatchback car that has a trunk with sufficient space. You will need to fill the cooler with ice and then put in water bottles, juice or soft drinks. Purchase cookies and chips wholesale and you are good to go. So where can you buy these items wholesale? Look for local discount stores near you. There should be some strewn about.

Every area will have a Coke or Pepsi depot. So check your phone directory and contact them. There might also be vendors like Nabisco or Hostess that sell snacks. If you can't find these vendors, you might want to question a local store owner about where they get their snack items from. When you do contact them, make sure you get a wide variety of chips of soft drinks. You might need to order a large amount initially, but it should be worth it in the long run.

So you have equipped your vehicle with your products. Now what? You need to find the clients by yourself. If you can do this regularly and efficiently, you can succeed. For starters, check newsletters from schools. Find out any game dates they may have and mark the location on your calendar. Be well organized and you will not miss any opportunities to make some money from a game.

Usually you will find that the same day has many games scheduled. In this case, you may need to move from one game to the other to keep a constant flow of income. If you rotate enough, you should know which audience will give you the highest profits. Stick by that audience for a longer time. So you must learn to keep track.

Always interact with customers and see what they might want the most from you. Try to stock up on those items in the future if you see that the demand for it is high. If your business grows considerably, you can also think about hiring others to sell for you. This way you will be able to cover a wider area and reap the maximum amount of profits. So go ahead and start this wonderful business now.

Also, as the business grows, put a name on the side of your vehicle and start hiring more people to sell for you.
