| Homework assignment: What business to sell portable air conditioners to?
I'm doing a homework assignment. I've chosen to sell portable air conditioners (like the ones you can buy in Futureshop) to another business. So a manufacturer selling to a business (as a business to business deal).
The buyer is not a retailer.
But what business would want to buy 300-500 portable air conditioners?

- entertainment industry (movies almost always filmed outside of studios, circus and carnivals)
- camping & outdoors industry
- construction industry (for job sites)
- telecomm industry (again, for job sites. outside doing repairs or maintenance in tents)

are you sure? I have yet to see any jobsite that will provide power for a air conditioner because it is too hot/cold.
