Your first investment should be in your reputation
A lemonade stand is a business that is commonly owned and operated by a child or children, to sell lemonade. The concept has become iconic of youthful summertime Americana.
Lemons are sour, zesty, juicy fruits that are delicious in all sorts of sweet and savoury dishes. Discover how to select, store, prepare and cook with them.
Your first investment should be in your reputation
The success of any business is built upon two things: your product/service, and your reputation. My lemon customers taught me the vital importance of keeping your word.
Lemon can be boiled, braised, fried, or roasted. They can be treated like onions, either sautéed in butter or olive oil or caramelized.

7 Business Strategy Lessons from a Lemon Stand
The kids started out selling better-quality lemonade they mixed from frozen concentrate. But when that ran out, they abruptly switched to some leftover powdered stuff with artificial sweetener scavenged from some forgotten corner of a kitchen cabinet.
Guess what happened? Sales—which had been brisk—floundered. The pair went back to their old recipe, this time adding slices of real lemon and crushed ice to help signal a product upgrade.
The kids rolled out multi-pronged approach, which included low-budget outdoor advertising (they taped creative to nearby telephone poles), display (they posted a notice on the town bulletin board), and word of mouth, which is always free.
“Tell your friends!” they said cheerfully to each customer. Meanwhile, a third friend rode her bike around the streets, shouting, “Lemonade by the beach! Lemonade by the beach! Get yours today!”
