How Much Can You Make Selling Lemonade and Kettle Corn???
I was able to overcome being in a bad spot to make serious profits at this beer festival. I was the last food vendor on the street, but I sold lemon shakers and kettle corn all day long!

Love the way you pan back the camera from the other vendors and BAM! There is your booth with banners and signs. The pictures of the kettle corn and bright colors. It made my eye go wider and definitely appealing. Very professional look. Great video.

I really like hearing stuff like this.
I like the point you make of which events to choose to participate in. I got caught up in an event in which the coordinator said there will be many customers at the community bazaar and they need more food vendors (I sell French fries Nachos ect) Well I didn't ask enough questions and when I arrived most of the vendors were selling Tupperware, Costume jewelry, Avon and t-shirts and CUPCAKES smh to top it off the event was not outside like I thought but inside the city community center with no access to electricity. I brought my generator assuming it to be outside. What a disappointment. Moral of the story is DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE EVENTS or you will be sorry! Thanks for your educational videos!

REGARDING LEMONADE: Do you sell fresh lemonade or fresh squeezed shake ups? If shake ups are your workers shaking or are you shaking mechanically? Is your "simple syrup" flavor enhanced? Have you seen or utilized the blow up canopies? What are you doing about high humidity kettle corn being soft or mushy versus crisp?

Always do fresh squeezed, it better honestly pre mix the sugar it saves time and makes the lemonade taste better

Thank you for this video, you have a setup, very colorful signs. At the events, you fill out an application and they give you a confirmation on a letter saying you are in and where you will be set up. You have the paperwork with you and you know the name of the person or persons who booked you there. when you get to the event and no problems. Didn't they send you anything? For a one day event, $1300 clear is good money.

My first year vending hot dogs from my Big Dog hot dog cart. Terrible. Still working full time at Walmart. Stuck in upstate, NY. Wondering if I can sell fresh lemonade & dogs by myself. I would pre set the cups. Now the Tractor Supply store only gave me fridays. I REALLY needed both frisdays & sats to TRY to make it work, on my 2 days off a week from Walmart. Getting killed here. Loosing money!

Keep your head high. Most concessions lose money the first 2 years. Look for other opportunities sometimes retail stores are hard. I would look for small events, farmers market. Yes you can but make it a great lemonade fresh squeezed don't use power. Keep looking it's all about location and timing. Reach out to us if you need more help. Thanks

I agree, about the venues suggested, I also am upstate NY area and have not started my business yet just researching but I did find very good Facebook groups that give listings of Farmers Markets and events seeking vendors.
1st off, $1300 is great. 2nd, the lady wanted you at an event that has 100 people? that's a family reunion!!!

I buy them from the Restaurant Supply Store. Make sure you buy the right lids, because you have to use a straw hole puncher and some lids will crack if you try to use the hole puncher.
