Don’t let transportation be the reason you keep putting off your business!
One of our BIGGEST hurdles when we started vending was figuring out how to get everything to events. We have a sedan, and baby...those coolers were NOT about to fit.
Two years later, we still rent a U-Haul when we need the space. We load her up and go make our money!
If you’re considering this too, here’s what we’ve learned:
1. Map your mileage
Mileage adds up, so know how far you’re traveling BEFORE you book.
2. Factor in ALL your expenses
Rental + mileage + gas + vendor fee + product costs. Know what you need to make for that event to be worth it.
3. Be strategic about location.
The farther we travel, the more money that event needs to make. Simple.
4. Run the numbers for YOUR business
A 50-mile event isn’t automatically a bad idea if the earning potential justifies the cost. Know your numbers and make the decision that makes sense for YOU.
A U-Haul may not be your forever solution, and that’s okay. For us, it works NOW while we build toward what we want later.
So map your mileage, run your numbers, rent that van and go make your money!
