“Have you ever seen an unhappy kid, slurping a slushie? – NO!”
Did you know that, in the 2008 Bejing Olympic Games, many of the Australian Teams 
had their own Slushie Machines?
Want to know why? Read these articles here…
Sports Clubs particularly benefit from having their own slushie machine (or more, in 
some cases!).
This is because:
Slushies are a very healthy way for kids to rehydrate and to cool down, both before and 
after strenuous exercise.

Slushies are very healthy for the Club’s bank balance! Why give the money to already 
rich corporates by selling their pricey products, when you could be selling slushies at a 
much healthier profit for the Club?
You will delight your kids and encourage them to spend their money with the Club, 
rather than at a garage or fast food place, on their way home.
One more thing for your members to look forward to when they come to Club meets!
Most Clubs sell their slushies in 300ml serves, for between $2.50 and $3, $3 being the 
most common.
This means the Club is making between $2 and over $2.50 per serve.

Nothing else you can serve can give such satisfaction with s little effort, for such a high 
return.
It makes sense then, to sell slushies before other, comparative, beverages.
To maximise your Slushie sales:
POSITION your Slushie machine so that can be easily seen.
SPARKLE – keep the machine sparkling clean (see “Cleaning Magic”)
DISPLAY – make sure the light display works and switch it on! (keep a supply of 
replacement bulbs to hand).

LOYALTY CARDS: “Every 5th Cup FREE!” works very well, if systematically maintained. 
The easiest way is to have a stamp and cards handy and be generous with kids that have 
lost their cards.
FREE GIVE-AWAYS – one with Every Cup! Tattoo and Crazy Band giveaways also work 
extremely well. Run these when sales are slow.
POSTERS – have one –or more – of our FUN posters displayed in high visibility and 
update and change them, from time to time.
NEW FLAVOURS – Every time a new flavour is introduced – promote it – ask for a flavour 
label from us!

Cash Control
Keeping Count – if you can count it, then you can manage it!
Sometimes we are asked “How do keep count of the number of slushies you sell?”
The answer is surprisingly easy and simple.
Cups! .. Use only recognizable cups for slushies and don’t use them for anything else.
Then, KEEP A COUNT OF THE CUPS! A tally of the cups used compared to the cash taken 
and the mix used, gives a pretty accurate picture of how things are going

Portion control
ask your staff to resist being too generous when serving. An extra 30 mls of slush may 
not seem much but, once the habit has been established and you have served 5,000 
slushies, that’s 500 (or $1,500 sale value) slushies you’ve given away!
Some DON’Ts:
Don’t be tempted to water-down your slushies to make extra profit:
• First, your kids will notice and they won’t like it. Your sales will surely fall.
• Second, you will stress and eventually break the drive mechanism in your machine
• Don’t buy-in cheap slushie mix. Again, it is likely not to taste as good, and your sales     
   will fall.
www.slushieco.com.au Melbourne: 0493 146 672 Sydney: 0421 463 540
Don’t turn your machinPe’sO frePezCe cOontRrolN up  Mto tAheC maHx sIoN thEatS the slush becomes over 
thick.
• This is a false economy:
• The additional volume gained by having thicker slush is minimal compared to the 
extra amount you give away because it can be piled so high.
• For your machine, this is like running your car with your foot flat to the floor – the 
additional stress to the mechanical operation of your machine is likely to result in an 
expensive breakdown, eventually.
• If you are not happy with the profitability of your slushies, it is better to simply slightly 
reduce each serving size. To do this easily, make a mental note of a mark on your 
slushie cup and only fill up to it.
• How to Make Big Money on your Big Meet Days!
www.slushieco.com.au Melbourne: 0493 146 672 Sydney: 0421 463 540
POPCORN MACHINES
Many Clubs have one (or more) Big Days at the Club, when there are many more than 
the usual number of members, and Slushies are a great way to make good money at 
these events.
One of our long-standing Club customers regularly make over $2,000 profit over their 3 
day annual Big Meet!
The big problem is usually how to meet demand.
To do this:
1. We rent our Clubs extra machines at very generous prices
2. We teach them the “Double Batching” method we describe below.
www.slushieco.com.au Melbourne: 0493 146 672 Sydney: 0421 463 540

Double Batching
Done right, “double batching” can supply an inexhaustable amount of extra, ready-to-
serve slush mix.
This takes a little planning and timely action.
How many kids do you expect? How many cups will you sell?
Important answers to have if you are to take full advantage of the opportunity.
(The Slushie Co is happy to discuss these estimations with you).
Just say you conclude there may be about 300 to 400 kids attending, and you think that 
at least 250 will want slushies.
www.slushieco.com.au Melbourne: 0493 146 672 Sydney: 0421 463 540
POPCORN MACHINES
You don’t want to miss out, so allow for 300.
Selling at $3 each, that’s $750 to $900!
What that means…
If you are using the 300 mls cups as we suggest, then this will require 300 X 300mls = 90 
litres of slush.
Yikes! That’s a lot .. a twin machine only holds 22 to 24 (at a push), so that’s 4 twin bowl 
machine loads you will need!
How will your slushie machine be able to keep up with that, won’t you be forever 
waiting for it to freeze-up?
The answer is Double-Batching!
www.slushieco.com.au Melbourne: 0493 146 672 Sydney: 0421 463 540

This is the well-tried and tested way of producing hundreds of extra cups of slushie on 
demand, without ever running out!
What you need:
The extra mix necessary (The Slushie Co will happily help you work that out).
• Open-topped containers (we find square-shaped plastic buckets from Bunnings are 
most efficient.
• Cling film (or lids) to cover the buckets.
• A large spoon or stirrer
• A plastic beaker – 500 mls – 1 litre size
• Extra refrigerator space

Method
Either the day before, or very early on your Big Day:
• Make up the planned quantity of mix, fill your machine to capacity
• Place the rest in canisters in your refrigerator (this will save freeze-down time later).
• When the first batch is frozen, read-to-serve, empty it into your buckets, cover them, 
and place in the refrigerator (not in the freezer!).
• Replenish the machine and repeat the process until all your mix is frozen.
• Once you start serving on the Big Day, use the stored mix to top up the machine, as 
you go.
• Mix stored overnight in the fridge will still be frozen in the morning.
• When replenishing your machine, you will find that “a little and often” is better than 
waiting for the machine to empty.

• When starting a new baPtchO froPmC theO buRckNet,  uMse tAhe CstirHrerI tNo mEakSe the mix into a smooth 
consistency, braking up lumps.
• Use the beaker to transfer the mix into the machine, rather than trying to pour it.
• Flavours: Choose very different flavours to those usually served.
• Most popular have proven to be Pink Bubblegum (beautiful flossy pink colour and a really 
yummy bubblegum flavour) Vanilla Coke and Tropical.
• If you have more than one machine, then having three flavours (although a bit more difficult 
to manage) is a big plus, because then you can put all three in a cup, to make Rainbow 
Slushies!
• Posters and Banners .. make your display as colourful and fun as possible. The Slushie Co is 
happy to provide additional promotional material, if given reasonable notice.
• We even have a limited number of reconditioned machines, ideal for Sporting Club Use.
