So, my “first sale” happened not too long ago.
We were trying to raise money for a school trip, to lower the cost.
My grandma and I had baked around 200 cookies, and 100 brownie squares.
I priced each cookie at1.50 1.25 (yes it was a marketing trick)
And each brownie square at2.50 1.99
We open up and I clearly, have the most stuff. But I’m placed at the back of the class.
First 30 minutes of the day: I had 0 sales.
In between every 30 minutes is a 5 minute break.
I thought to myself, and cracked the containers open to let the smell out, when the next class came in…
I sold: 5 cookies, and 2 brownies.
Okay, good start.
I then raise the prices to 1.50, and 2.50, but then said buy 2 for 2.50 dollars and 4.50 dollars.
I closed everything, counted my money and I had made $10.25.
New class came in, I cracked the lids open and started talking to people.
I had sold 15 cookies and 5 brownies.
Profit? Something around 30 ish bucks.
Now people are beginning to sell out, and we’re getting to the older kids.
New batch comes, I crack lids open and I legit have a line of 5 people.
I had to get extra hands to help with everything.
I made 40 bucks that class
It keeps repeating.
After another 2 ish classes, everyone’s sold out.
I decided, I gave my cookies and brownies to others, and they price it the same.
Everyone keeps selling, but I’m the one with the largest line.
The day ends, I still have around 10 cookies left and 0 brownies.
We count how much we all made, it came out to 750, of which I made around 250.
I learnt a lot that day, and that’s my story!
