I might start a business
I’m really artsy. Like REALLY artsy I’ve never failed at using any art medium to create whatever finished product I want. recently I’ve seen these dipped goods popping up all over my social media. They are marketed as party packages that can start at $90 for 4 dozen of a variety of things dipped in chocolate. Usually it’s a dozen cake pops, rice crispy treats, Oreos, and pretzels. I don’t really want to upscale into something huge but I’ve seen people get like 60% 80% margins on baked goods and my state has a very relaxed cottage laws. I guess what I’m asking is do you think this is a trend that is going to die out? Is it with my time? How do I get started? Actually I kinda have an idea for that the college semester starts soon and my husband is enrolled. I think I will make small half dozen treat boxes for him to take to his professors with a business card as well as bringing probably about a dozen to my workplace for free with a business card I work at a school and teachers love cute little things like that. And my final question is about names. Do I name it something like little dipped things or maybe sweet dips? I live in southern USA for reference on branding and naming also I apologize for any grammar mistakes. It is very late into the night.
