Question 1
25 pts
Client 1: When I was three years old, I started making candy with my grandrłother.
I am now 10 and I want to sell chocolate candy with a farm theme to my friends and
family. My product ideas include Brown Cows (chocolate cows on a stick), Pigs in
Mud (marshmallow dipped in caramel, nuts and chocolate) and Farm Eggs (jelly
beans dipped in chocolate). The start-up expenses for my business are pretty small: a
few candy molds, candy and chocolate.) My parents have agreed to loan me the
money I will need and to let me work in the family kitchen. Schoolwork has to take
priority over business so if I have more sales than I can handle, I will probably ask
friends or my older brother to help. My brother is also pretty good at math and
computers so he could help me with keeping track of my expenses and advertising. I
really like the product development and packaging part of the business.

Answer:

This is an absolutely  great idea. The only problem is where are you planning to hold your Business? Where are you selling these candies? How will you spread the word? What can you do to make sure people come back and want more of your product?

Explanation: I always wanted to sell candy when I was little but never pulled the trigger on it. For starters I think you should make the names a bit more of a friendly connotation so people don't assume the worst of your product. Your best bet to sell your items and candies would be at school. Now to be honest more kids are carrying money around now than they ever had when I was in elementary-middle school. This is your best bet. Make sure when you are selling your candies to not go in debt with your business, so many people I know tried this and failed because they put way more money then they were making because they thought it would pay off. Yes sometimes take the risk but almost always if your just trying to make a couple bucks, take it easy and sell for a reasonable price. If it costs about $10 to make "Brown Cows" for about 20 people then sell each brown cow for $1.25 per stick. If you have 20 people who are willing to buy you would make 15 dollars profit. Final thing is actually finding people to sell to. Most people go at these type of things alone which I think is a great idea. But if you want to get the word out even more tell a popular kid that you will pay him 5  for every 20 "Brown Cows" he sells. You can really pay him anything you want as long as your not going over your profit margin! Good luck and I would love to know how this goes!
