ORD — At the Ord Wrestling Invite this week, kids participating in the Youth Entrepreneurship Showcase had an opportunity to display their products.
Decals, embroidered goods, scrubs and wristbands were just some of the hand-crafted items.
The kids have gone through the summer entrepreneurship camp and have since learned about advertising, marketing and creating business cards.
“They have to have some sales experience before they can come to this event, because we really focus on marketing, sales pitches and radio ads,” says organizer Jennifer Remmereid.
“They have to have an established business, have their prices good, have their product up to par and just be ready to present in front of people,” she adds.
The entrepreneurship doesn’t stop there. The kids will continue to sell and market their products throughout the year at farmers markets, fairs and other events.
