Need feedback on a business idea.

I went to a university that had a student convenient store inside their student union. That store sold local baked goods, and when you are a college student on the run, that's really great! So maybe you should look into seeing if you can sell them at something like that.

First thing I would do in your situation is talk to the university to make certain they would have no problem with you targeting your business on campus, which should be fine in my opinion. Find soemthing unique about the service you can provide, whether it be gift packaging, brownie recipes with natural stimulants for increased concentration or memory for example peppermint essence, etc. Use this to draw in clients. Marketing and Promotion are one of the most important aspects to consider, so make sure you have a clear business plan drawn up. Think about competitors in the area and how you are going to make yourself stand out. Gosh, theres so much I could say to you. Do you have any specific questions? I have discussions/responses about marketing and promotion in great detail... if that helps at all.

its great idea you can start making cookie/brownie and as an advt start distributing it to student as sample so that they will come back again and u too can get experience and feedback about your preparation

Sounds like a winner to me! A University is always a great place to target a business. You may be the next Martha Stewart. LOL

Dara, I don't want to be the one to pee in your Cheerios, BUT....if you are going to make any food products there is always the possibility that your kitchen may need to have to be inspected and "up to code" the same as any other commercial kitchen. That may vary from state to state; but I do know that is the reason one of my friends could not start a bed and breakfast in her home. It is one of those pesky things you would have to check into and make sure you are "legal" before anything gets ugly. I saw where someone suggested candle making. That is very simple and takes little start up cost. I also make scented wax potpourri tarts, which are VERY easy. I don't do them for sale; but I have a huge family and you know what kind of gifts that I give! There is also soap making. The molds for soaps and wax tarts are really inexpensive. If you are interested, please let me know and I can direct you to some great places. I totally understand you wanting to work from home and wish you god and goddess blessings in finding the right fit for you. ~Donna

I think that would be a good idea. Another idea that you might consider is to sell scented candles! Considering that most university students live in a dorm with room mates they might like them to keep it smelling fresh!! If you like this idea let me know I can get you hooked with more information and from there even get you stated if you decide to try this!

I would say that yes it would be a good idea, if you live with alot of traffic like that i would think that it may work.

This business is really good to start with and you will have good earning if you really dedicate to it. I think you can make good profits if you are prompt on service and the taste the paeople want.

Sounds like a very nice idea. Would you be able to keep up with the demand if you were making it all your self? Maybe you can expand on the idea and include breakfast pastries. I know college students are notorious for not eating breakfast and that could be an idea. However, i have not started a business so perhaps I am the wrong person to ask. But good luck to you anyways.

It sounds like a good idea. I don't watch the Food Network, but if some one else is doing it, it must be a good idea.

I think it would be really great!! I love baking myself so I wouldn't be a great customer, but for colleges I think it is awesome!! I saw the show you are talking about =) Go for it!!!
