Start Your Own Chip Dip Mix Business

If you go to craft shows, festivals, flea markets, farmer’s markets, fairs, etc., it’s likely you have seen a booth with all kinds of different flavors of chip dip mixes and dessert mixes. They have pretzels for you to taste all the different delicious flavors and pick out the ones you like best. These are the products of the dip mix business.

The mixes are little bags of dried herbs and spices that you mix with sour cream and mayonnaise. They are delicious with chips, pretzels, pork rinds, crackers, corn chips and much more. The dip mixes also are great with fresh veggies and make wonderful salad dressings, spreads, and cheese balls.

Try them on baked potatoes. Wow! You can also use them instead of mayonnaise to make a fabulous pasta salad.

The dessert mixes are mixed with cream cheese and whipped topping (like Cool Whip). The dessert mixes can be used to make no-bake cheesecakes, cream pies, cream filled cupcakes, parfaits, fruit dips, bagel spreads, and much more. (Fabulous on waffles and pancakes too.)

Probably the most popular way it is served is with these new graham cracker dipping sticks made just for dipping. Just set out a bowl of the dessert with the dipping sticks and let the folks dig in.

Dip Mix Business Figures

You may not be aware of it, but a dip mix business is a remarkable small business opportunity. I have been selling dip mixes at special events for years. Let me give you something to think about.

• At most craft shows, I average between $500 and $1100 in gross sales.
• At festivals I average between $1350 and $3200.
• At flea markets, between $250 and $750 per weekend.
• For farmer’s markets, between $175 and $600 (for four hour’s work)

I know of many companies that travel a circuit of festivals and craft shows across the country. Their overhead is higher, but they make between

$5,000 and $12,000 per show!

The dip mix business can be very profitable. Most of these companies sell these mixes at:

3 for $10.00

The profit per average sale is about $6.00

a 60% gross profit margin

All you do is buy the mixes already packaged and labeled, (or you can use your own labels) and make up samples to take to each event.  You set out the pretzels and let people help themselves to free samples. They sell themselves. This is a fantastic mobile food business!

Benefits Of Running A Chip Mix Business

There are many wonderful features to this business, such as:

• You can work your own hours.  Part time or full time. Make up samples days in advance of your event. Completely flexible schedule.  Great “Work From Home” business for busy mom’s.
• This is a fun business.  All the events you sell at are fun events. You have a good time, plus, you make money too. What could be better?
• No ongoing fees.  All you do is buy the mixes. That's your only requirement. You get many of the advantages of owning a franchise without the big bucks.
• Most events are on weekends  so you can still keep a day job if you wish.
• All of the recipes for your products have already been perfected, tested, packaged and labeled. No need to spend months developing a product that sells.
• It's a very popular mass appeal product. Everyone likes at least some flavors of dips. Plus, weight conscious people can make a "light" version of your mixes using light or fat-free sour cream and mayonnaise.
• Dry mixes have a long shelf life of up to a year. No worrying about the product "going bad". No worries about having to sell it all before you have to throw it away.
• Dip mixes weigh very little and take up little space in your vehicle. You can store thousands of dollars worth of product in one plastic tub. Easy to move in and out of a building and a quick set up for your booth.
• Dip mixes are pre-packaged food. That means in most states you don't have to charge sales tax, keep track of sales tax or pay sales tax.
• Dip mixes sell themselves. When customers taste your samples, that does all the selling for you. You don't have to be an aggressive personality or a "sales type" or a "hard sell" type to sell these products. They sell themselves when people taste them.
• You can easily add other staff members to expand your business into other locations. You can have a booth at several different farmer's markets or flea markets or festivals in one day just by staffing the booths. Training your staff is a no-brainer. Since all the products sell themselves, your staff just takes the money and makes change. Adding extra employees to this easy business can add thousands of extra dollars to your pocket book.
• Profits! The most wonderful thing about this business is the profits - approximately 60%! Even more for the dessert mixes.
