Want to make some money on Entrepreneurial Day, but can't decide what would sell best? In this article, we'll go over a variety of options to help you choose the best and most popular items to offer. If you're ready to learn more, read on!
Steps
-
Everyone loves a good hot dog. They're delicious, easy to prepare, and fun to top with a wide variety of toppings. Set up a grilling station and be sure to offer buns and basic toppings like ketchup and mustard. [1] X Research source
- Charge extra for more elaborate toppings. Set up a topping station with onions, cheese, pickles, potato crisps, bacon or other meats - the possibilities are endless.
- Offer different kinds of hot dogs. Have normal dogs as well as sausages, veggie dogs, and corn dogs.

Offer different kinds so your customers can create their own mixes and flavors. Make sure you have enough of the most popular flavors and fruits so that you can satisfy as many customers as possible. [2] X Research source
- Consider adding variations to the jelly and custard, like offering soda instead of custard. Arrange the ingredients on a table so that your customers can choose their favorites. Consider charging more for higher-quality or more expensive ingredients like cream or ice cream.
-
Milkshakes will sell like hot cakes on a hot summer day. Offer a large variety of flavors so that customers will be sure to find something they like. Classics like strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla are absolutely necessary, but come up with other flavors or combine flavors in order to spice up the options.
- Offer toppings like whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate sauce, or crumbled Oreos.
- You can also sell soda floats as an alternative to milkshakes. Have a variety of sodas, and add some to ice cream to create the float.

Muffins, biscuits, cookies, brownies, pies, and cakes are great options. Sell your baked goods individually wrapped or by the slice. Ice the baked goods as appropriate and make them look good in order to sell more. [3] X Research source
-
Be sure to offer different color combos and designs. That way, customers can find something to fit their tastes. Sell pre-made jewelry, or offer to make custom pieces for your customers, allowing them to choose their favorite designs and colors. Charge more for custom pieces and for larger or more complicated designs. [4] X Research source
- Use string, beads, rubber bands, or any other crafting method to make bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings.

Charge people for the opportunity to play one round. Then, award prizes to winners. Use a classic carnival game like a ring toss or dart throw, or come up with your own game. It's easy to make money off of games because they don't cost a lot of money to set up or run, and your customers can keep coming back to play again.

Tips
- Talk to your friends to figure out what they would most like to buy, and target your choice towards your market. If half of your customers are vegetarians, for instance, consider staying away from the hot dogs.Thanks
