Have you ever heard of Sproke? The idea for Sproke or Sprite and Coke mixed together has been around for quite a while. Yet no one really let the idea take off. In fact, you could create a whole business around concocting new drinks by mixing up different carbonated drinks.
On those hot summer days, kids and adults alike head out for the beach, the mall, the park or the fair. And whether they are out sunbathing, swimming, shopping or enjoying nature, they will want to quench their thirst in the heat. By setting up this innovative small business, you are giving drinkers a new option.
Experiment and create a multitude of soft drink concoctions to suit different tastes and flavors. Research on their various densities and you could serve colorful multi-layered drinks. You could even add ice cream floats to your menu. These are sure to be a hit during the hottest days of summer.
To attract customers, hire employees with flair bartending skills so they can blend the drinks to your customers’ entertainment. Remember to snap on the sides to prevent the carbon dioxide in the soda from spewing your drink out of the container. Get creative and name your drinks as the junior version of its alcoholic counterpart, like a Kiss on the Beach and a Slippery Sickle. Kids would enjoy the flair bartending and your non-alcoholic drinks will be a sensation among their parents.
To establish your base, offer catering services, especially to underage events. Give out coupons for free taste tests. Hold contests and have them guess the recipe to your drinks or come up with a new one. Do these monthly and have valued repeat customers as your judges.
Don’t forget that setting up a business will require business and building licenses and permits. You will also need to come up with a business logo and interior layout for your retail space. If you plan on delivering your drinks, you’ll need modes of transport, too.
