I was wondering how to get my new idea of lemonade out to juice companies, and production.

If this is Jimmy, you owe me 50 cents. I`ll stop by the stand on Wednesday - and this time you better not run inside and tell your mother.

If this is not Jimmy, carry on. :)

Seriously though - what makes your lemonade different than the million varieties already produced? In order to land in front of the big juice corporations you`ll need to have your ducks in a row. Taste tests (out of 5,000 people - how many prefer your lemonade to Jimmy`s?) are good. Market research is good.

Contacting someone like ... Welch`s ... and trying to get a meeting with their representatives probably won`t get you very far unless you have the research done and your product has been proven to be superior in branding ability, taste and `what makes it different`.

Happy Juicing!

they probably already have their own.

You should think of a lot more juices aside from lemonade, you have a lot of competition if you want to open a business like that.
