Kid’s Marketplace

We are looking for those kids ages 5-17 that like to create and invent new things and would like to sell them by creating their very own business.  We will be giving a Young Entrepreneurs class on July 6th or  July 17th to teach them how to create a business name, design a sign or logo for their business, develop a product, establish fair pricing, determine profitability, and how to present and sell their product successfully.  There will be an indoor marketplace that we will provide a table for them to use to sell their product on July 29th from 11am-3pm.

This sale is for children to learn business, so it is important that they make the product, and sell it.  If you would like to invest in their business for start up materials that would be perfectly fine, but they need to know what you invested so that they will be able to see their true profit at the end of the sale.  They can have a business partner to share a booth with, but all workers at the booth must be the kids.

The Kids Marketplace is meant to help children realize the possibilities in owning your own business and build confidence in being able to accomplish success.  It’s possible there will be some similar products sold at the market, but this will also give students a little understanding of competitive business and knowing how to give added value to stand apart from others.

There is a $15 booth fee to help with event advertising costs and the cost of the space.  Limited space available so be sure you reserve your booth space early.  You do not need to know your product before you sign up, this will be part of the project.  Once all booths are sold we will not be able to add any more.  There will be shirts available for purchase as a participant of the event.
