I agree location can determine success. During Woodstock 1999, a field near our house was planned to be a backup parking spot for the event. So my little brother and I whipped up a lemonade stand. Unfortunately for us, they had enough parking near the airbase so our stand didn't turn a profit, and we ended up drinking lemonade for the next year. Despite failing, it proved a valuable learning experience. A mobile stand would have definitely been handy. Thanks for jogging an old memory. Paul, I wish I had this advice when I was a kid!

In the TRIM section... it's all about cutting stuff... So lower the price fits there. In the EXPAND section it's about making things bigger. In this case it is about maintaining perceived value and keeping the price fixed (even though everyone else is offering discounts). I hope this helps to clarify.

Pulling items that you might typically outsource might have to get pulled in house now. Find someone you think could handle some of the work and help them execute until they get the hang of it.
