TYPES AND TECHNIQUES OF STREET SALE

SELLING FROM THE VENDING CART

Vending cart does not cost a lot, and you can even build it yourself in the garage. Thanks to wheels, it can easily be moved to small distances

SELLING FROM THE BIKE CART

All you have to do is to attach a large basket or container to the bicycle. The big advantage of the bike cart is that it is very mobile and has ability to tour the whole area which allows to sell during one day in many places.

STALL 

Is one of the cheapest and simplest ways to start earning money. 
There are various types of stalls. The simplest of them does not require anything, it is enough to spread the sold items on the ground.

KIOSK

To have a kiosk you need to get the land owner’s consent. A kiosk in busy places can generate as big profits as a store.

MINI-SHOP ON THE TRAILER

Shop in the trailer can stand in different places and it can be transported by car to long distances.

SELLING FROM THE CAR / VAN

Depending on what you will sell, it can be a very valuable business. The advantage of the car is that you can quickly transport goods and that in a short time you can reach many customers in different places.

SELLING FROM THE MOTORBIKE

Motorcycle has the same advantages as a car, but it is cheaper to buy and a little slower. Ideally suits for riding around the area and selling products where there will be the most customers.

FOOD TRUCK

Sale in food truck has a great potential. It all depends on what you will sell (burgers, burritos, toast, ice cream, coffee, or maybe fried chicken?), but even more important is in what location you will sell. Busy places with lots of people are great for food trucks. Sales with food trucks is one of the most profitable street selling ideas.
