In this blog post, I'd like to introduce you to the world of smoothies. I'll teach you all about the basics of making them and share a recipe so that you can start your own healthy business if you wish.
This is sort of what I imagine when someone says "smoothie business". There are many different flavors and ways these drinks can be made, not just one.
Smoothies are a healthy way to get a lot of nutrients and vitamins into your body quickly. They go down easy, like drinking a milkshake, so you can get more food in liquid form into your body than with solid food.
I like to drink my smoothies for breakfast. It's very common for people to have a smoothie for breakfast at home, but almost unheard of to have one out in public -- especially if you're at a restaurant.
I've ruined a lot of shirts by using a blender for smoothies, though. I recently got an important business proposal on a shirt that will never be quite clean again. Maybe the next time someone offers me a contract, I should wear a white shirt instead!
Smoothies are also great for kids' lunch boxes because they can be poured into portable containers and don't require refrigeration until lunchtime. In addition to breakfast and lunch, smoothies are also delicious just before or after working out.
There's always a place to sell smoothies because they're so healthy and nutritious. You can go to local health food stores, grocery stores, or even work out centers and gyms. These are all places where people are looking for a quick, healthy snack. Smoothies also make a nice gift for friends and family. Kids love them, as well as adults. It's so simple to make that almost anyone can do it. You don't need a lot of specialized equipment or knowledge -- just the ability to follow directions.
And, you don't need to be able to manage a large inventory, either. You can start small and build from there. Many people like to specialize in just one or two smoothie flavors because that makes it easier for them to remember the recipes and keep track of ingredients.
Add a few tables, chairs, and some decorations or fruit to your store, and you're ready to open. You can even set up a stand at farmers' markets or outside events if you don't have your own shop.
Where should you find clients, though?
The best places to sell smoothies are at health food stores and coffee shops, as well as places like airports, hotels, and airports. Farmers' markets and outdoor festivals also get a lot of business too. If you're really hungry for clients, go to the mall on big shopping days, like Friday or Saturday. But be careful with vending machines and fast food restaurants because they can have higher prices than other locations.
You might be able to get a little help if you're just starting out. Some health food stores, coffee shops, and even gyms hire people to make smoothies who don't own their own businesses. A few of these places might even give you some customers to start you off.
Make sure the location is convenient for your business, though. It's not good to be in an area that gets a lot of traffic with few places for customers to park nearby. But if you pick the right spot and decide to work in a place that doesn't have parking, you'll have to offer a discount to customers or have an agreement with nearby businesses for people to park.
When you're ready for your own store, be sure to think about how much money you want to make so that you can spend some time on your website and social media. This will help your business to grow.
You can also save money on your website by using free website templates that you can customize to your needs. From there, you can use free marketing tools like Pinterest and Facebook to promote your business.
Small businesses like yours may not be able to afford expensive print or TV ads, but there are still ways for you to reach a large number of people cheaply and easily.
The easiest way is through online marketing and social media campaigns.
If you have a website and Facebook page, use them for your online marketing. You can post lots of pictures of smoothies and make special offers for new customers to come visit you. Use social media to get the word out about your business. Use LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Google Plus so that people can find you on their phones or computers when they're trying to find a good spot to eat lunch or work out at.
Your website will help you to decide which recipes are most popular with your customers. This can usually be found by reading the reviews they leave on your website. The best way to make sure your customers get the best experience is by making sure each product is as fresh as possible. This can be done by using lots of fruit and vegetables.
Perhaps the best part about owning a smoothie business is that you know people will want to drink your product. There are plenty of places to sell smoothies, especially if you make them yourself. If you're interested in healthy food, this is the business for you.
If you're thinking about becoming a smoothie business owner, there are different kinds of people that could work for you. You can hire someone who has just started a smoothie business on their own and then start helping them out with all the things they don't know, or you can start a smoothie business together. This way, you both get to learn some new things along the way. You can also try for someone who has some experience.
So, before you start your own smoothie business, why not consider some of these things:
It's important to know how many people you want to work with and how many products you will be selling each week. This may depend on where and when your business will be open. If you're thinking about becoming a smoothie business owner, there are different kinds of people that could work for you.
But start out with just a few days a week, at first, and watch to see what happens. This can be great training for owning your own store. You'll have time to adjust and it's easier to give up if you need to. And you'll probably have more fun than someone who works all the time just to keep their business going.
