Jim,
I personally would like to add a comment to your testimonial portion of your web site.
We have been dealing with you over three months out now and I predict that you are going to be one of the top wholesale dip sites if not the top site in a very short time.
Your products are great and your service goes above and beyond the call of duty. We have had several very successful shows in a short period of time and have more paid for and in the works as I type.
Will keep you posted on those too. Just couldn't pass up the opportunity to "toot your horn" at Cherry Orchard Foods. Love the new expansion and wish the best of luck and glad we got in on it.
I for one am proud to be a rep of your great products and look forward to a long lasting relationship.

WELCOME TO THE
DIP MIX BUSINESS!
Hi, my name is Jim Miller. I have sold dip mixes, dessert mixes, microwave pork rinds and numerous other food products at craft shows, festivals, farmer's markets, flea markets, county fairs, antique shows, and other special events for years.
My company, Cherry Orchard Foods, has an introductory dip mix business opportunity for folks who want to start their own dip mix business. Cherry Orchard Foods will set you up with your own dip mix business for only $395.00! That includes a startup inventory, (Some additional expenses include tables, table cloths, bags for your customer's purchases, containers to display your dip mix samples, etc.)
We will start you with:
30 packages of eight
different flavors of dip
mix - our 8 best sellers!
That's 240 packages!
with a retail value of $800.00!
8 BEST SELLING FLAVORS:
Garlic Lover
Mesquite
Spicy Jalapeno
Delicious Dill
Fresh Spinach
Chili Con Queso
Zesty Pepper
Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato (BLT)
Ordinarily you would sell 10 - 14 flavors, but this way will allow you to start your business for the lowest possible price. Any less than this number of mixes to start with may cause you to sell out of some flavors during your first event. However, if you prefer, you may add any number of additional packages or flavors to this startup inventory for $1.35 per extra package.
You may also add our dessert mixes at an extra price of $1.65 per package. After your first two or three events, you will want to expand into a larger selection anyway for maximum profits. These are the same mixes I sell at all of my events.
You Will Sell:
3 Dip Mixes for $10.00!
(That will be about 85% of your sales.)
Your Cost
Per Package Of
Dip Mix Is:
$1.35
Your cost for all 3 mixes is $4.05
Your gross profit is
approximately $5.95 per sale!
That's a gross
profit of 60%!
Your price for the dessert mixes will be
3 mixes for $12.00
- even more profitable
and get this:
Your startup inventory has a retail value of:
$800.00!
(240 mixes divided by 3 packages
per customer = 80 X $10.00 = $800.00!)
Your startup inventory alone pays for your
entire dealership cost...... TWO TIMES OVER!
Your Own Labeling
When you order our dip mixes, you can order them with or without our labels. It's the same price, either way. (We do not do private labeling.)
We suggest you apply your own labels for several very good reasons:
- So you can get all of the repeat business from your customers. Otherwise they will order from us since it will be our label on your package.
- Your own labels may also allow you to get into events that you otherwise wouldn't be able to get into. Some events require you to make your own products to be included in the show.
As an option, you can add another ingredient to our bags before you label them to create your own dip mixes. My book tells you how to do this. Just by adding a teaspoon of one inexpensive ingredient to our mixes creates your own line of mixes that qualifies as being home made. This ingredient only costs you one cent per package.
- If you are selling at a flea market or a farmer's market or anywhere where you are there week after week, printing the name of the flea market (or whatever) on your labels tells the customer where they bought the dip mixes and where to return to to get more. (Many times customers forget where they bought your products.) Again, you get the repeat business, not Cherry Orchard.
Your own labels are so easy to do. I will give you samples of our labels. You just copy the information (ingredients, net weight, etc.) onto your labels, add your own company name and have them printed and cut by your local printer, then staple them onto our zip lock bags of dip mix. It's so easy! You can do hundreds in an hour in front of the TV. However, if you would rather not bother with your own labels, that's fine too.
YOU CAN MAKE
MONEY WITH DIP MIXES!
Let me give you some reference points as to how much money I have made with these dip mixes.
I can't say what you will make as a dealer for us. That depends on many variables. I can only say what I have made in the past. It mostly depends on how good and how big the events are that you get into. These numbers I'm about to show you are before I added additional food products to my roster of dip mixes and dessert mixes. (Now, I make much more money with these additional food items. You can too. More about that later.)
HERE ARE SALES I HAVE MADE
YOU MAY NOT DO AS WELL,
OR YOU MAY DO BETTER.
(DURING A RECESSION, THESE
NUMBERS COULD BE LESS, OF COURSE.)
COUNTY FAIRS
$2,300.00
For the full run of the fair. This is the only fair I have done so far. It was a small county fair, not a big state fair. It was a 9 day run. Lots of hours, but most were weekdays when you wouldn't be making any money at all. I like people watching and the environment of fairs, so it wasn't bad for me. I know of a dip mix company that does 18 fairs every year, so they must have a better location than I did or they only do the big state fairs.
AVERAGE CRAFT SHOWS
Between $500.00 and $2800.00
Mostly high schools. Worst I ever did was $300.00 when I had many competitors and a terrible location. There are more craft shows in any major city than you could ever possibly do. The high end of the numbers above can only be acheived selling some of our other products, such as the bread dipping mixes and our Vino Slush, wine slush mix - a huge seller.
FESTIVALS
Between $1,350.00 for a 1 day event
and $5300.00 for a 2 day event
The bigger they are, the better they are. I have never done really large festivals in the hundreds of thousands of people. I can't even imagine what you could sell at one of those huge events. Again, to get those big numbers, we also sell our bread dipping mixes and the wine slush mix.
FLEA MARKETS
Between $250.00 to $750.00 per weekend
Depends on what time of the year it is if you're in a cold weather climate, how much competition you have (if any), and how big the flea market is. This is a good starting point for your business because you can get into them at any time, but they are usually not a year round business unless you're in a warm weather climate or if the flea market is huge. I know of a lady in Florida who averages $800.00 per day at a big flea market - year round! Also, flea markets don't care whose label is on your packages. They don't care if you make the product or not. Easy to get into, inexpensive way to start your business. These numbers were from before we had the wine slush mix.
FARMER'S MARKETS
Between $175.00 and $600.00
per day (four hours)
The more affluent the market or neighborhood, the better you will do. I averaged $175.00 per day at one farmer's market in a small rural town. Then I switched to a new nearby affluent neighborhood market and averaged about $400.00 per day. The first two weeks of the market, I did $900.00 per day because the market was brand new and did a lot of publicity. (Note: This past year during the recession, I did less than the figures stated above.)
********
These numbers may or may not be impressive to you, but I know of many dip mix companies that travel and do only the big craft shows and festivals throughout the country. If they don't do at least a minimum of $5000.00, they never go back. If you are willing to travel, you can make stupendous money even after paying hotel bills and travel expenses.
These traveling dip mix
companies average between
$5,000 and $12,000 per show!
My business is small potatoes compared to the traveling companies, but I don't want to travel. And I don't want to hire employees. (I do these events by myself.) It does show you, however, that there is a great deal of money to be made in the dip mix business.
THE DIP MIX BUSINESS
IS PROFITABLE!
******
THE PRODUCTS:
DIP MIXES
With my wonderful dip mixes, you just mix sour cream and mayonaisse with the dip mix and presto - you have a delicious dip that is wonderful with chips, pretzels, pork rinds, and all kinds of fresh veggies. With these mixes you can also make salad dressings, spreads, and cheese balls. Plus, they are great on baked potatoes and make wonderful pasta salad dressings.
OUR CURRENT DIP MIX FLAVORS ARE:
CRAZY CUCUMBER
BUTTERMILK RANCH
FRESH SPINACH
CHILI CON QUESO
MESQUITE
GARLIC LOVER
DELICIOUS DILL
ZESTY PEPPER
SPICY JALAPENO
HEAVENLY HORSERADISH
SUN DRIED TOMATO
GARDEN VEGGIE
BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato)
DESSERT MIXES
For the dessert mixes, all you do is mix cream cheese and whipped topping (like Cool Whip) to the mix. These mixes make fabulous no-bake cheesecakes, cream pies, parfaits, bagel spreads, mousse, fruit dips and cake frosting. Many people just set a bowl of the product out with little graham cracker dipping sticks, mini vanilla wafers, ginger snaps, chocolate covered graham crackers or animal crackers and let people just help themselves. Absolutely scrumptious!
OUR CURRENT DESSERT MIX FLAVORS ARE:
AMARETTO
ENGLISH TOFFEE
PUMPKIN PIE
PINA COLADA (temporarily unavailable)
BANANA CREAM PIE
_______________________________________________
THIS BUSINESS HAS
MANY WONDERFUL,
UNIQUE ASPECTS TO IT...
- You can work your own hours Part time or full time. Make up samples days in advance of your event. Completely flexible schedule.
- This is a fun business. All the events you sell at are fun events. You have a good time, plus, you make money too. What could be better?
- No ongoing fees! All you do is buy the mixes from us and only us. That's your only requirement. You get many of the advantages of owning a franchise without the big bucks.
- Most events are on weekends so you can still keep a day job if you wish.
- We have perfected all of the recipes for the mixes. It has taken years to come up with the best selling flavors that we provide to you. No trial and error needed on your part. We've already done that. We have tried about 70 different mix recipes over the years and distilled that amount down to the best selling 14 or 15 flavors. Some are the traditional favorites that are popular year after year. Others are more exotic and unusual with bold flavors. Anyone can come up with recipes and flavors. Recipes and flavors that sell the best is the hard part that can only be determined after selling 70 flavors over many years. Just let people sample them. They sell themselves.
- It's a very popular mass appeal product. Everyone likes at least some flavors of dips. Plus, weight conscious people can make a "light" version of your mixes using light or fat-free sour cream and mayo.
- Dry mixes have a long shelf life of up to a year. No worrying about the product "going bad". No worries about having to sell it all before you have to throw it away.
- Dip mixes weigh very little and take up little space in your vehicle. You can store thousands of dollars worth of product in one plastic tub. Easy to move in and out of a building and a quick set up for your booth.
- Dip mixes are pre-packaged food. That means in most states you don't have to charge sales tax, keep track of sales tax or pay sales tax.
- Dip mixes sell themselves. When customers taste your samples, that does all the selling for you. You don't have to be an aggresive personality or a "sales type" or a "hard sell" type to sell these products. They sell themselves when people taste them.
- You can easily add other staff members to expand your business into other locations. You can have a booth at several different farmer's markets or flea markets or festivals on the same day just by staffing the booths. Training your staff is a no-brainer. Since all the products sell themselves, your staff just takes the money and makes change. Adding extra employees to this easy business can add thousands of extra dollars to your pocket book.
- Ongoing support I will personally provide you with ongoing consultation and guidance by phone and email.
- Profits! The most wonderful thing about this business is the profits - approximately 60%! Even more for the dessert mixes!

"Jim,
The book has been priceless. I have my first County Fair right here in my city and hoping to sell out of lots of my first order. I will keep you posted and the book is the only way I could have done it. You did a great job with the book."

This book is the feature that sets us apart from everyone else. This book clearly demonstrates that we are truly dedicated to your success in the dip mix business. I wrote this book to teach you everything I have learned in the years I've been in this business. It's over 110 pages and filled with pictures. It covers everything. Anything you still have questions about, I'm just a phone call or email away.
Most companies that you buy wholesale products from just sell you their products and you are on your own as far as how to sell them. That's fine if you are already in an established business. However, when you are just starting a brand new business that you know nothing about, you need a mentor and guidance. I'm not talking about a few helpful suggestions over the phone or a few pages of suggestions. You need a thorough indoctrination and education as to all aspects of a new business. You need in depth, detailed information and lots of it, from a mentor who know the business inside and out.
It's easy to learn, but you have to know what to do and how to do it - as with any business. We don't just sell you our products and turn you loose with a, "Good Luck!". I know the more successful you are, the more successful we are. The more I can help you in any way I can, the more prosperous we both become. So, it's in my best interest, as well as yours for me to help you become as successful as possible - and as quickly as possible.
Our Cherry Orchard Foods, "Start Your Own Dip Mix Business" manual teaches you all aspects of the dip mix business. I spent months writing this manual. it is exclusive and comprehensive information that is available nowhere else. All my years of experience are condensed into this manual. (I will email you the book as soon as I receive your payment. That way you can be reading it while you are waiting for your first shipment of dip mixes to arrive.)
The Cherry Orchard Foods, "Start Your Own Dip Mix Business" manual has over 100 pages of information and instructions about the dip mix business. It's not generic, boiler plate "how to start a business" information. It is specific to the dip mix business only.
"Hi Jim,
The show was in a mall about 30 miles from my home. It was Fri & Sat. I made around $800. I did not take the slush mixes because I did not have help with me.
Garlic Lover, Veggie and Cucumber were the top
sellers and Tuscan Garlic was very popular as well. I have a show booked every weekend through April. I am so excited!
The book is amazing, such a huge help. Thank you so much for your support. I have found something I enjoy. I hope the rest of the shows are as good as this, if not better. I will start the slushes when my daughter starts helping me in Feb."

SUMMARY
This is a profitable, easy business for only $395.00. What other business can you start that has a proven track record for only $395.00? It's a wonderful opportunity. This offer is available at this price for a limited time only. Come on in - we would love to have you join us!
BY THE WAY.....
In addition to our dip mixes, you
may be interested in selling
some of our other products,
such as ....
Vino Slush Frozen Wine Slush Mix!
Our best selling product! Just mix with any kind
of wine and water. Mix it up and stick it in the
freezer for a delicious, refreshing slushie drink.
It's the new way to drink wine - a slushie for
grown ups!
INVESTMENT STARTS AT $93.50
WWW.VINOSLUSH.COM
AND
BREAD DIPPING MIXES!
Just mix with olive oil and dip your bread. Our best selling
flavor is Tuscan Garlic. Garlic is our most popular dip mix and
also our most popular bread dipping mix. Each flavor infused
your olive oil with exotic flavors that are bold and addictive.
Way better than what you have tasted at italian restaurants.
Makes a great companion product with our Vino Slush. Both are
inexpensive to take to parties and such a crowd pleaser. Can
be sold with any of our other products. Easy to offer
samples and great sellers.
AND
Microwave Pork Rinds
This is a healthy product for which there is hardly any competition.
I'll be happy to send you a presentation for that business opportunity
also. Just ask me for it. It's only a $150.00 investment. However, you do have to package them yourself, which is easy to do in just minutes.
By the way, an important aspect of selling the microwave pork rinds
is that sometimes you won't be able to get into an event if all you are
selling are dip mixes. If the event already has enough people selling
dip mixes, they won't let you in.
However, by selling a unique product (almost unavailable anywhere else) that they don't already have in their event, can sometimes get you into the show. It has done that for me many times. Sometimes they let me into the show only because I sell the microwave pork rinds. They want unique products in their show.
Check out our sister website for more general information about our
microwave pork rinds product.
INVESTMENT $150.00
www.microwaveporkrindsonline.com
Start up cost for
Microwave Pork Rinds business:
Only $150.00, plus shipping - for 30 lbs. of bulk pork rinds.
