8 Keys to a successful Lemonade Stand
1. Pick a day when the temperature is at least 95 degrees. If you are sweating your customers will be too.
2. Choose your location wisely. Corners are a good choice, particularly corners with pedestrians.
3. Put your cutest and most charming sales people in the front.
4. Make sure your sales people sample the wares. They must be able to vouch for the freshness of your lemonade.
5. Remember your target market. The little extras like animal crackers, straws and hand sanitizer for your young clients go a long way and show that you care.
6. Price your offerings correctly.
7. Willingly accept donations.8. Remember to be friendly and smile really big when customers come to YOUR stand instead of the stand down the street.
While I was doing the laundry, Emma read some books to Nathan. I walked into the room to see the two of them looking at a special book I created. Both Emma and Nathan have a story book that tells their adoption stories. I listened to Emma as she pointed out important people in Nathan's book and described what it means to come to a family through adoption. She told Nathan that we prayed for him to come to our family. She also told him how much his birth family loves him. She showed him the pictures and told him who everybody was. I felt gratitude, love, and pride for my sweet babies.
