Selling to Students

Fruitloops

Ooh that's an interesting idea... an original fast food type thing that they can't get elsewhere on campus!

At my old uni (Sussex) the Student union building has a big central square which gets the majority of the footfall to/from campus

There was someone who used to regularly set up with a big gas burner and a hug wok type thing who did an amazing beansprout/potato/spinach type concoction - really cheap to make and sold it in normal takeaway containers for £1. He made an absolute killing - served with various sauces - chilli etc.....

Think the big thing was because it was veggy so no having a meaty/veggy option

Someone had set up a business at my uni selling a list of things that would be delivered at all hours - perfect for after pub munchies!

They had a delivery charge that covered their time and the list was not that extensive to stock.. List had things like crisps, pot noodles, biscuits, toiletries.

That is actually quite a clever idea, provided that you have the time to do it and no social life! :rotfl:

That is a really cool idea. I briefly thought of delivering booze in the early hours... not sure if that's legal though ... altho maybe??

But still... this is a really good idea. Just need someone with a car to go into business with! Altho, I live near the uni so delivering to the freshers in halls would be an option on foot.

Some people tried this near me for a while but I think they got slapped down under licensing laws. Worth looking into but it would be fun trying to deliver 6 slabs of beer to anxious students on a push bike or on foot .

Haha true, true

Anyway, I'm not sure late night delivery of even legal stuff is viable without a car :think: but I still maintain it's a great idea

My mind keeps shifting to the freshers in Sept and taking advantage of their excitement of signing up to everything. I just need a cunning plan :rotfl:

Indeed! :rotfl: Ok yours was better than mine.

I would never take advantage unless there was some money in it...

... oh dear.
