A very valid question, and one asked by every person who has started a business selling anything.
If you’re thinking of starting a cookie business, then you’ve already been making plenty of cookies for a long time and people around you love them. You know you’re making something really good. And I think you will quickly find that Yes, people WILL buy your cookies.
If you don’t tell anyone about it, then nobody will buy them.
But if you start making even the slightest efforts to let people know what you’re doing, then you’ll get a response.
Think about the endless number of things that you spend money on in your life……..
There are high risk, high involvement items like
Less risky but still important items like
Tons of boring must-have items like
And then there are fun, uncomplicated things that instantly make people happy.
Want an example of something in that category? Your cookies!!!!
Any reason for buying cookies is going to be something fun. Maybe even something exciting. Ordering special cookies for a celebration is the sort of thing that people WANT to do, not have to do. Everything about it is positive and upbeat – it’s not a hard thing to sell.
Again, if you don’t tell anyone you’re doing it, then nobody will buy them.
But when you make the effort to get word out, people will buy your cookies!
