    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.

    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.

  • Question
    How can I sell good things without spending a lot?
    Community Answer
    You can sell things that you make from hand with stuff around the house. Like I make mason jar and jam jar crafts. Use toilet paper rolls! Be creative. If you have Pinterest, that helps too. Have your friends help!

      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.
