Tips for making the best summer lemonade stand

July 3, 2007 by GreatDad Writers 3 Comments

  1. Location, Location, Location. Find a great place to put your stand for maximum traffic. If you live on a dead end street, traffic just won’t be enough for the stand to be fun for more than a few minutes. It gets very lonely standing on a quiet street in the middle of day under the summer sun.
  2. Get the best quality. Buy cartons of pre-made or fresh-made lemonade. Now is not the time to buy sugar water.
  3. Charge a lot. Adults who buy lemonade on the street won’t consider too much the difference between $.75 and $1.00 or even $1 and $2, especially if you’re giving part of the money to charity. Most adults are just charmed to see kids running an old fashioned lemonade stand.
  4. Get some cookies too. if you can sell some bottled water or packaged cookies, you can double your sales.
  5. Run your stand 2 days in a row to learn from mistakes.
  6. Get the word out in the neighborhood.
  7. Enlist help. – A lemonade stand is a lot more fun to run with a buddy, though having a dad help out is a pretty good fall-back position.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
