Food business this summer seems very limited because here in the Philippines there are no classes. And only a few students takes summer classes. In my experience, students are the majority of the buyers specially on sidewalk vendors who sells street foods and other stores near a school. Obviously in a hot summer months, cold beverages and drinks are the best sellers and other foodstuffs that contains shaved ice.

Anyway starting a food business this summer don’t need to be extravagant because if you are only selling cold stuffs, it is always seasonal so when rainy day comes you have to switch to another kind of business. If you are planning to buy or fabricate a food cart, be sure that it is versatile and you can change the tarpaulin graphics signage so you can replace it once you switch to another kind of  food business.  I said that because I’ve experience buying a food cart with fixed signage and graphics  so I cannot changed the stuffs we are selling when the seasons change. So below are the lists of food business ideas this summer:

Most Filipinos does not celebrate Halloween because this custom originates in the Western society. What we are only aware of is All Saints Day where we remember our departed love ones. But since the celebration of Halloween is spreading throughout the world, specially to the middle and upper class of the society maybe we could also have a share in the market by having our own business ideas. The most common ideas we see in malls are those scary masks, costumes, toys, banners, candies, decorations like pumpkins for Halloween.

Drop Shipping can be a blessing but sometimes can be a liability if not properly planned or researched. If you want to start a retail business but doesn’t want to keep lots of inventory, then this could be the answer to your prayers. You can also make an eCommerce website or post items on eBay with a very minimal cost, just setting an online shop or pay a listing on eBay without having the item. All you have to do is get the order and transfer the order to a drop shipper and the drop shipper will ship the item for you and of course, pay for the item plus the shipping cost. As a retailer, to protect your business, the drop shipper must ship the item using your business name and address on the return address. This has been a standard to the drop shipping industry so the retailers are protected and will thrive.

But on the other hand, there are only few companies here in the Philippines that offer drop shipping. One known company I saw in the internet that offers drop shipping is Natasha. You can check out there website here: http://www.natashamall.com/pages.php/page/dropshipping

The compiled training programs called 2010 HRD and Entrepreneurship Training Programs for MSMEs is a down loadable PDF file which you can open by Acrobat reader and this is made possible and compiled by the PHILIPPINE TRADE TRAINING CENTER/DTI under the direction of the TWG on Training Inter-Agency Coordinating Committee (IACC).

The compendium of 2010 HRD and Entrepreneurship Training Programs for MSMEs is a list of training programs offered by government training institutions in support of the National SME Development Agenda, a priority program of H.E.
