For those of you first time visitors, the idea I have come up with is that of the Variety Van- a food truck to be set up behind midtown that essentially sells cheap yet healthy food for late-night goers. My targeted market is mostly college students who have had themselves a night out or are possibly taking a break from studying at the library and are in need of a snack. Since this is a service and not a product, my Amazon Whisperer challenge will not reflect the Variety Van per se, but is still related to the food industry/ is something that could be helpful to the Variety Van.
Current revenue drivers
- Selling my products from the Variety Van
Next thing customers want
Since my food truck focuses on health and cost efficiency, I have decided to go with a product that can be used in any kitchen as a kitchen utensil. To keep things small and simple (two qualities of a food truck), I have decided to go with a blender, but not just any blender- a super blender.
How it enhances the Variety Van
A super blender can be used to craft concoctions that are hard to make with the basic power of your average blender, all while making the perfect gluten-free smoothie (or whatever else anyone is craving).

Customer reviews
Although there weren't many reviews, the feedback is flawless- 5 stars. The price of the blender at first tipped me off that it would be of good quality because it was on the more expensive side for not only a blender, but Amazon prices alone. According to satisfied customers, the set comes with its own measuring/ blender cup, chopper, and whisk. All of the parts are attachable so there is much ease in setting it up. The blender creates a smooth texture and each review completely raved about the whole package.
Changes
To be honest, I wouldn't change much. I would maybe make the blenders in different, funky colors to go along with my trendiness/ edginess of the Variety Van. Anything to give it some jazz. As far as the skill goes, this blender is near perfect.
Why it would be a good addition
As I mentioned above, a blender like this would maybe be a good addition because it is small (for a small environment such as a food truck kitchen), but can do so much! Blenders are helpful for meals and snacks- savories or sweets- anything really. I think it would be beneficial.


Hello Shannon,
ReplyDeleteTo start off i i think your first venture is great, i would definitely go to the food trucks while out not he weekends, and i can see many other people doing the same. My mom being a blender connoisseur, owning 4 blenders i just 1 household I've learned a couple of things about them. Nothing is perfect there can always be something you can come up with and innovate, that being the point of the assignment. I would suggest maybe making it even more multi-use adding some more mechanisms you can attach then detach too to make it stand out. If you would like to check out my amazon whisperer assignment you can look at it in the following link: http://ent3003img.blogspot.com
Hey Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI Think its great that you have found a product that you can sell along side your service. It's not easy finding the right product but I think a blender is great. If it wasn't for my blender I wouldn't eat as many fruits and vegetables. Great Idea btw, I think there is a high demand for food truck services for people walking back from midtown. check out my blog http://alexandvon.blogspot.com/
