Dear Friend,
Someone called me this morning with some questions
about a new cart he and his wife are thinking of
opening.
One of his questions is one I think is important when
considering whether to start a cart or kiosk (and for
that matter, any business venture.)
'How much money can I really make with this?'

It's one of two key questions I think you should want
answered before deciding whether to proceed with your
cart or kiosk venture.
1) 'How Much Money Can I Make?'; and
2) 'What Do I Have to Do to Get It?'
If you find you can make enough to satisfy your needs,
and you're willing to do what it takes, you've got yourself
a match.
It's not always that easy to get the answer to these
two questions.
With a new product or concept, you might have projections
and plans, and not have concrete answers yet.
Existing suppliers sometimes don't know either. Some just
supply product, and have no actual data on how well or even
what their retailers are actually doing.
Other suppliers know, but are reluctant to tell you straight
out. It's because they know the success of any cart or kiosk
is largely dependent on the effort of the operator.
And they don't want to make a claim that can't be backed
up if you don't do your part.
The upshot of all this is that it's up to you to ask the right
questions to get the answers you need.

Want to hear the questions I ask?
Periodically... sometimes once a week, sometimes a little
less often... I have arranged to interview the principals of
proven product suppliers in the cart and kiosk industry.
These are the people with products and concepts that
cart and kiosk owners are making money with.
I'd like to invite you to listen in on these interviews. And
find out more about these products and concepts.
You'll get acquainted with these proven cart and kiosk
products and concepts.
You'll also get to listen in and hear the questions I ask
to get to the bottom of:
1) 'How Much Money Can I Make?'; and
2) 'What Do I Have to Do to Get It?'

P.S. Turned out this new supplier knocked off the
concept from someone else. We found the original
manufacturer and bought from them. (Much more
trustworthy!)
