Start Your Own Dip Mix Business – Sell at Special Events

You can start your own chip mixing business for less than $400.00. I have been selling sauce mixes for years and have made a lot of money with very little work. These are dipping mixes made from various herbs and spices that are mixed with sour cream and mayonnaise. They are great with chips, pretzels, pork rinds, fresh vegetables, and sandwiches. With these same mixtures you can make dips, cheese balls, spreads, salad dressings and they go very well with baked potatoes.

You can also easily add dessert mixes to your product list. These are dry mixes that are mixed with cream cheese and whipped topping (like Cool Whip). They make a wonderful no-bake cheesecake, fruit dip, bagel spread, cream pie, parfait, or mousse. Both dip mixes and dessert mixes come in a small zip-top bag. They last up to a year in their cabinet at room temperature.

All you have to do is purchase the mixes from a sauce mix company and affix your own labels to the bags. Presto! He now owns a sauce mix company. You can sell your products at flea markets, festivals, farmers markets, craft shows, fairs, and any other type of special event. All she does is prepare samples of each flavor and provide inexpensive pretzel sticks for customers to sample the dips. A taste and they sell themselves.

Try to buy your mixes from a company that teaches you the business. Find one that has a start-up and operations manual for its use. This is the sign of a truly professional company that is truly committed to your success. A manual will show you all the tricks of the trade to learn the best ways to run your business while you are still learning. Don’t just buy the mixes from one company and then go out on your own to try to learn the business. Find a company that will help you sell and get things right with your new venture. There is nothing difficult in this business, but you need someone to show you the way. It just helps you learn the business much faster and with fewer mistakes.

You sell the dip mixes for 3 FOR $10.00. Its profit is about 60%. In other words, you’ll make a huge profit of around $6.00 per sale. No need for any sales skills at all. The product is sold only when the customer tries the product.

The advantages of a dip mix business are many:

– You can work your own hours – part time or full time. Prepare samples days before your event. Completely flexible hours.

– This is a fun business. All the events he sells at are fun events. You have a good time, besides, you also earn money. What could be better?

– No ongoing fees. All you have to do is buy the mixes wholesale from a sauce mix company and put their label on the package. That is your only requirement. Much cheaper than a franchise.

– Starting costs are less than $400.00 for a variety of mixed flavors.

– It is a very attractive product for the masses. Everyone likes at least some salsa flavors. Additionally, weight-conscious individuals can make a “light” version of the sauces using light or fat-free versions of the ingredients.

– There is no need to worry about the product spoiling if it doesn’t sell out quickly. All flavors sell, some sell faster than others. No need to worry about having to throw some away.

– Dip mixes weigh very little and take up little space in your vehicle. You can store thousands of dollars worth of produce in a large plastic tub. It’s also easy to move in and out of a building for quick booth setup.

– Dip mixes are pre-packaged foods. That means that in most, if not all states, you don’t have to collect sales tax, track tax, or pay sales tax.

– You can easily add other staff members to expand your business to other locations. You can have multiple booths in different locations just by staffing them and preparing more samples. Training your staff is a no-brainer because the product sample does the selling for you. Your staff simply take the money and give the change.

– The best thing is the profits. Around 60%, even more for the dessert mixes (which will sell for 3 for $12.00).

It is a simple and profitable business with products that are sold all year round. People need to eat, even during a recession, and the public loves dip mixes. For such a small investment, it’s hard to find a better deal for starting a small home-based business.
