What to say
“Hi, I’m testing this idea with help from my parent or carer. I’ll explain exactly what is included and the price before we begin. Would you like to hear how it works? No problem if not.”
Understand the numbers
A simple money example
A £10 multipack containing 20 items costs 50p per item. Selling at £1 gives a possible 50p profit each before stall fees and unsold stock.
Revenue - every real cost = actual profit.
