I LOVE emails like this one from a reader who’s KILLIN’ it!…
Hello Steve,
Well after ordering your E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart plans, we are up and running. Here are a few pics and I promise to send you a T-shirt.
We also have a website - www.HappyHippieHotDogs.com Check it out.

Thanks for the pics Craig. Awesome job!
This is exactly what I’m talking about when I say, “Don’t just sell a hot dog, sell an EXPERIENCE!”
An entertaining, exciting experience is something that can separate you from all the other choices available to your customers. It draws people to you, generates tremendous word of mouth, and makes you highly memorable. Repeat customers rock!
It also frees you from having to compete on price, which is without a doubt the most miserable way to run your business.
Happy Hippie Hot Dogs definitely has it’s U.S.P down cold. In case you’re new around here, U.S.P. stands for Unique Selling Proposition. Here are a couple of articles to refresh your memory:
Let’s hear it for Craig in the comments, and spend some time thinking about your U.S.P.
YEAH, baby! Groovy!
-Steve

Nice cart, nice website. I really like the whole thing. However, this may not be a big deal but, I didn’t see your location anywhere on your website. Unless you don’t mind going to Sacramento, hit Denver on the way to Topeka, and end up in New York. It’s all cool man…. ;-p

Hello Happy Hippies
I too live in Phoenix so will be looking for your van and cart. What part of the valley are you in?
