regarding events... i talked to one dog hawker in phoenix and i was told that it is a pretty good business.
Example: Swimming pool stores have big events occassionally. it turns out it isn't their big marketing ploy - it's the hot dog guy's. he approaches the business and tells them that he wants to help them with their sales and his at the same time. he spends the time and money to print up fliers and plaster them all over, advertising a big open house at the pool store with free hot dogs, chips, pop, and balloons for the kids. the pool store receives free advertising, but they have to pay $XX per person that shows up over a certain number.
the guy said he has been doing it for years and makes a killing and the stores won't let any other cart guy near their property because this guy came to them with the idea. the pool company loves it, he loves it, the customers love it. everybody wins.
