    My New Real World Business Idea??

    Bacon.

    Everyone (except veggies) love bacon right?

    Well, Where I live it's difficult to buy decent bacon unless you go to the butchers and no-one uses butchers anymore. Failing that it's the supermarket and the convenience stores where the quality is terrible. Really thin and full of water.

    I can get hold of real good quality British or Danish bacon.

    I was thinking about going door to door with an order book. Selling 0.75lb /1.5lb / 3lb or 5lb packs either weekly / fortnightly or monthly.
    I would target residential areas only knocking on every door and filling my order book with recurring sales. I might also sell sausages as well.

    I would be making about 3 times profit on all sales.

    So yeah. Fuck adult. Sell Bacon.

          I buy from a local farm. It's definitely expensive.

              I pay $2.29 a lb for delicious thick cut bacon at the grocery store when the bacon from the farm I live on runs out.
              .
              Approach the mirrored reflection saying his name three times : "Butcher .... Butcher .... Butcher ....."
              and wait to see if this Bogeyman urban legend manifests in the background, looming over shoulder
              While your neighbors were busy killing off everyone in the neighborhood
              with your own butcher knife in hand concealed behind your back
              you stood for
              ever before the window saying
              nothing

                          It still works, so what is the problem?
                          Of course add email ordering in the mix.

                              The stigma of door to door meat truck low-lifes selling low grade dairy cow water and flavor injected beef (ups the weight by as much as 15%) will be tough to over come.


                              These guys are great for online ordering http://www.nueskes.com/

                                  Indeed. One of the options would be to properly introduce his company (as opposed to no name door to door person), give a flyer/internet address where people could read about your meat, why it is good and so on. Then wait for calls if they are not convinced on the spot.

                                      Sounds like a marketing tactic for a gay site.

                                                      I know the ceo of the company that would be selling me the bacon. I would use their logo and reputation to bolster the sales. Perhaps even using their logo.

                                                          I would buy it from you because I love it, but I can't speak for others, and I have no idea how much bacon people actually eat and buy. A pound of bacon should last a family what, at least a week? So you'll be coming back to the same spots week after week to deliver a pound of bacon. If you plan on scaling and expanding to related products, I can see it working if marketed properly. If you plan on only running it yourself and strictly sticking with bacon, it's going to be tough to make real money.

                                                          Best of luck to you either way.

In this U.S. everyone is distrustful of door to door people. I automatically assume it is a scam. I would never buy meat from someone selling door to door unless I personally knew them. Also cities will often laws which require a license to sell door to door as there is concern that some may be burglars casing residences for a robbery. You also have the problem in states like Florida where some crazy old guy might pull a gun on you.

                                                                                                                  I'd stick to the internet.

                                                                                                                      Simply actually - because "bacon" in many languages means pig that is over 100kg or 240 pounds. I think in US English you call them hogs. Although merriam dictionary also have "bacon hogs" as a phrase.
                                                                                                                      And what you call bacon is called how you see there:

As a few people have pointed out, people are mistrusting of door to door sales guys. If you plan to keep it fairly local, perhaps get a booth at a local farmers market on weekends. That way during your door to door rounds, you can say come visit us at this location or have it delivered to your door. I think it would add an air of legitimacy to your biz. Also, if your product stands out in any way, ie particular type of pig, or naturally smoked, low in nitrates etc, tout the shit of of that. Anyone can go to the store or butcher and get bacon, you are giving them a different product, or a similar product at a great price.

                                                                                                                              Bacon is so subjective, what type of bacon are you getting access to, English style bacon, or what North American's would consider bacon are quite different things. And then there's Canadian bacon...

I think in US English you call them hogs. Although merriam dictionary also have "bacon hogs" as a phrase.
                                                                                                                                  And what you call bacon is called how you see there:
                                                                                                                                  http://mobile-cuisine.com/wp-content.../pork-cuts.jpg
                                                                                                                                  Even if that part is smoked or cured in any other way.
                                                                                                                                  We would just call it pork. It did not dawn on me that bacon would have different meanings. So if that's the case, I can see it.

                                                                                                                                          And another reason why I assumed Op was talking about pork is that it sounds strange to me to sell only one particular cut of pig instead of offering variety in which case sales would be way higher. And you could even sell to those who do not like bacon but maybe likes different cuts.
                                                                                                                                          It seems like bacon is almost separate thing in US while where I live it is just one of the many pork cuts and it would be equally strange to go door to door offering only, for example, tenderloin part of the pork.
                                                                                                                                          But again - it seems like US thing where bacon is separated from all the other pork cuts and is "on its own".
