What foods sell best online...

I really want to start an online food business...
I think it is recession proof and has great expansion posibilities...

I was thinking customizable ceraels...we will have hundreds of cereals like creme brule to healthy ones like blueberry blast

The other idea is chocolate mania or sumtin like that
i will have hundreds of flavor of chocolate and white chocolate...from creme a creme brule (lol) to oats and chocolate to coffe chocolate...

also maybe custom popcorn gifts service...with odd flavors like oreo to caramel!!

any other ideas of foods that will sell online...it could be as simple as oasts!!! and thats it!

Have you looked into your supply channels and the cost associated with creating custom cereals? One thing that is NOT recession proof is expensive consumable luxuries... like custom made cereal...

If you are going to do this you need to examine your cost parameters as they will be significant in this under taking..

I think this is the second time I'm giving you advice about cost analysis.. tell me if I'm wrong...

Current marketing data that is readily available on the internet shows most consumers are choosing discount brands over name brands do to current economic concerns. If you are thinking about launching a high end product this would be about the worst possible time in the last 20 years to do so... research research research... i yi yi
