My brother and I are having a contest. I need help. Are there any suggestions? (Please answer)?

Question

My brother told me about a week ago "You may have more book smarts, but I have more street smarts." I told him that we would see who could sell the most Lemonade. Whoever wins gives the money to a charity he/she chooses. (Too much Apprentace I know. It was the first thing that came to mind.) We both agreed. I'm making the contract because I know if he makes it he WILL find a loophole. I'm trying to cover all loopholes. We said we can get any imformation online, so I'm not cheating. Is there any suggestions on any special ingrediance, ways to decorate the stand, catch people's attention. Also if you live in Cordell Oklahoma any good spots to set it up. Thank you.

Answer 1

First and foremost, Pray about it.  The Bible says in all things we should pray...

I think Advertising is the key.

Here are some sites that have some good ideas of fliers and such that you can make.

You have to have something that will catch the eye.  put fliers up in the neighborhood.  People have to know where and when you will be selling.

Answer 2

Don't leave you homemade lemonade unattended in case of additional ingredients being added by your brother.  Apart from that I think the first answer was pretty spot on.

Answer 3

LOTS Of SUGAR!!!!! Make more than one flavor (like strawberry lemonade) and charge different prices for different flavors. And make sure that on your signs you say that the proceeds will go to charity. To get more customers, set up your stand outside of a busy place.... like a movie theater, grocery store or school. Also, call of your friends and tell them to come buy from you. Good luck!!!
