Together with The Fashion Class, ivivva is inviting young entrepreneurs who make a physical product to sell their wares in an actual retail store. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity gives young designers a chance to put their products in front of other kids and tweens, gain valuable experience and sell!
All young entrepreneurs must be between the ages of six and fourteen and make a physical product to sell. We are looking for products that are unique and well designed. No prior selling experience is required.
Accepted entrepreneurs will be assigned a date during which they will sell their products at ivivva from 12noon – 3pm. The dates are during Spring Break and will be one of the following: April 27th, April 28th, April 29th or April 30th. You are welcome to request a specific date. In addition we will be holding a free entrepreneurship workshop at The Fashion Class on Saturday April 23rd from 12-2PM. This workshop will go over valuable tips on selling products, what marketing materials to bring and will guide our young entrepreneurs through the process of setting up their business. Participation in this workshop is not required.
