Re: Pricing ideas
Where do you sell and what kind of competition do you have? For what it's worth I think you are selling at much too low of a price. I am in Florida and at the beginning of last year we were selling 3 sizes in flower cups for $3, $4 and $5. We charged the same prices at schools and places like Sam's ...

This old dog just learned a new trick (yes it is shaved ice related)
Over the years we have used a bunch of different shavers. A couple of years ago we switched to the Snowie Block Shaver primarily because of the increased speed and ability to serve more people and therefore earn more money. Recently business was so good that we had to bring our truck back to our fab...

Re: Glass Pouring Bottle..not a quart?
I have a Master's Degree in Economics and a PhD in Finance so for me the math is easy. However the solution is even easier -- switch to quart bottles.

Re: Snowie Block Ice or Southern Snow?
I have tried both and for me there is no question. I choose the Snowie Block. When using the slower speed the quality is just as good plus I can make one in seconds instead of almost a minute per. If you are only selling a small number of shaved ice then go with the cheaper Swan but if you are in bu...

Shaved Ice Lemonade question
Although I can not take credit for developing it, I now have an excellently wonderful shaved ice lemonade recipe that is far better than the competition. My question relates to flavoring options. Has anyone had any luck with flavored lemonades (blue-raspberry, cherry, etc)? I am already preparing to...

Re: Looking for advice in selling at schools
Thanks to all. I have been in this business for more years than some of you have been alive but I always recognize that other people often times have the answers I need to succeed. I appreciate more help on this matter and as always am willing to offer whatever bit of wisdom God has granted to me.

Re: Looking for advice in selling at schools
Bruce, I am just learning how to market on social media myself. I am FAR from an expert (although I do have a marketing background - pre social media). One thing I have found is that there are many companies and other individuals who are willing to take lots of your money to do things that you can e...

Looking for advice in selling at schools
In 1947, my grandfather was one of the pioneers that brought authentic Hawaiian Shave(d) Ice to the mainland. Our family has been selling this treat for over 70 years as it passed from generation to generation. My wife has now taken the business to the next step as we attempt to break into the Centr...

Re: Shaveicesupplies.com Current Specials!
Lily currently comes only in medium. Since small is our most popular size, we made the flower and blossom design in small only. If you tried the new blossom cup, you may like the design lay out more than the lily since it has a wider base which lets you sit on the table. My issue is that I have 3 s...
