So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Selling Meals Through Sonoma County Food Trucks

By Carolyn Murray


Those starting out in any venture have probably done all their research. They know the pros and cons involved and are still willing to try and hopefully not fail. A tenacious spirit sets apart entrepreneurs from regular people and determines their success. Those who want to try out Sonoma County Food Trucks need the following information before they get into the business.

Identify your target market. These are the people you intend to cater to. A person might target millennial or much older individuals. One should research into their eating habits to find out the best meal to offer them. Those whose focus is on eating healthy will prefer low-fat food while vegetarians will want nothing to do with meat.

Know the competitors. Those getting into the business are probably not the first ones to set up in a particular location. Having competition does not mean that a new business has no chance of survival. The newbies simply need to research and learn about the other businesses and find out what they are doing so that they can do better.

Secure licenses. People who dare to work without these papers are going against the law. Law officers often shut down such operations until they work on getting the proper documents. Clients who know that the businessperson is licensed to practice cannot hesitate to buy from them. This often proves that they have the expertise for making meals and catering to their clients.

Purchase the right structure. The right truck should have enough space for a kitchen layout and all the equipment needed to prepare the meals. The staff should not have to squeeze inside while working. New vehicles are a worthwhile purchase because they are customized and have few chances of breaking down in the middle of a busy workday.

Place the truck where the food is likely to sell. The best location is where the preferred market is found. Potential clients frequent streets in the evening while others relax in parks during their free time. A person can park in these areas and reach out to these individuals so they can try out the meals. Vendors can also settle in parks that are specifically set aside for selling food. Such areas bring in frequent clients.

Use the right marketing channels. The best kind is the one that the clients use most. If they read papers or are on the internet more, it is a smart move to use these specific methods. Proper marketing starts before the business opens and even after it does. Regular communication with clients excites them and keeps them hooked on that particular business.

Put in enough time into the business. Those starting out might not have enough capital to hire extra staff. They may have to depend on family and friends for support as they work their way up. They, therefore, have to spend a lot of time preparing meals and cleaning up with the little help that they can get. This often means early days and late nights which are worth it in the long run.
