What you Need to Sell Ice Cream

Ice cream is a favorite for people of all ages. From hard ice cream to frozen yogurt and gelato, and even sorbet and sherbet, and even sundaes and so much more, there are a lot of ice cream options out there that you can enjoy too. 

In order to make customers happy though about the product, you need the correct equipment and supplies that are there, but what else do you need besides the obvious stuff? Well, let’s talk about it here and what you can do to properly sell ice cream, no matter what. 

Bowls and Containers 

While most sales are done in cones or in cups, you should also have other containers, especially if you make it for customers to take home. Have a few of these directly on hand, since it’ll save you money. 

There are disposable bowls that are made of heavyweight paper that of course is soak-proof, and in most cases, you can use that, or double-sided poly containers in a variety of sizes, offering better portions for the customers at hand, and you can even offer lids for the containers if needed at all. 

Spoons 

Remember most ice cream is eaten with a spoon, so you definitely want to have some of those, which should be obvious of course. 

But thee are certain parts to spoons to also look into. 

You want to buy these in bulk, since it is cheaper, and so you don’t run out either. That way, you definitely can get the most out of this. 

While it is hard to get environmentally-sound spoons, there are biodegradable ones you can get if that’s something you’re looking into. If you’re not focused on that, there are individually wrapped ones, or just single spoons that you can have in there. Buying them in larger quantities prevents you from running out. 

Napkins 

Napkins are something that you also need because even on a cool day, it melts pretty fast, and that of course can get messy as well. 

Not to mention, if you’re selling to kids you will definitely have more messes to clean up too. 

So yes, you should make sure that you have a steady supply of napkins to sell ice cream with, with a variety of different options. 

You can get disposable napkins that are biodegradable too, and that definitely is something worth looking into. 

If you really want to take it a step further, then you may want to consider moist towelettes that are lemon scented in order to offer better cleaning of your hands and mouths, and also do smell great too. 

Trays 

Finally, you may want to get some trays if you’re someone who serves customers that offer larger amounts of orders, especially family-sized orders that can sometimes be hard to carry. 

The best way to get this part handled is of course, some cardboard trays. They’re easy, cheap, and a good way to ensure that customers are happy and satisfied with everything that’s going on too and is a good way to make sure that everyone’s properly served and happy. 

And there you have it, everything that you need for your ice cream business. If you’re going to serve to a few people, or to a whole community, you definitely want minimal all of this, and of course the ice cream that they will love and want too. And with that said, have fun making some great ice cream, serving it to others, and also as well really building the customer base that you want to have for your business too.
