Part 4/6:
With newfound capital, the focus shifts to Walmart, where a more significant profit opportunity awaits. Here, the protagonist pivots from cookies to bottled water—40 individual bottles for $5, offering higher margins than the cookies. The decision showcases a keen understanding of basic economics and consumer behavior. Alongside the water, they purchase a cooler and ice to create an enticing setup for potential customers.
Armed with marketing tools, including a simple sign advertising the water for a dollar, the protagonist heads to a bustling venue, Sunset, where they anticipate high foot traffic. The hope is that the cooler of water will not only quench the thirst of passersby but also lead to fast sales.
