Sell Lemonade

Setting up a lemonade stand is an all-American profit maker for kids. Here's make the best of the business.


Instructions








1. Plan ahead. Find a spot where there is lots of foot traffic and aim for a warm day.


2. Make signs. Advertise the location of your stand and the date and time you will be selling lemonade. Put several signs up in the neighborhood and save a big one to put on the stand or table that you will be selling from.


3. Get change. Depending on the price of your lemonade, lots of quarters and several dollar bills are a good idea.


4. Buy supplies: lots of lemonade, a container for the lemonade, cups, napkins and ice. You should also have a trash can for used cups and napkins.


5. Make lemonade from a frozen can or fresh from lemons.


6. Put lemonade in a large container. Make sure the container isn't too big for you to carry.


7. Set up your stand or table. Be sure to attach your sign and to have some chairs for you and any helpers to sit on.


8. Stock the stand with your supplies and the lemonade. Use a box for your money.


9. Be a salesperson. When people go by, call out, "Fresh lemonade!" or "Get your ice-cold lemonade here!"


10. Refill lemonade container as needed.
