NILES — Sibling entrepreneurs displayed their products Saturday at the Eastwood Mall Center Court as part of Junior Achievement of Eastern Ohio’s Youth Market Day during which 12 of the 13 participants were siblings.

“Children from ages 7 to 14 participated in market day. They must first take the JA Start My Business program where they learn about business development, marketing and money management,” said Kaylee Johnson, program and events manager.

The Gaul children of Mentor each had separate businesses. Vivian, 7, sold fudge at Oh Fudge! Her 12-year-old sister, Maddy, featured her business, Maddy’s Confections. Wyatt, 14, sells products under the name Bird Nerd and 9-year-old Henry produces pull toys for dogs of all sizes using parachute material. His business is Henry’s Paracord Paradise.

The Parker children of Warren — Kadence and Alvin — are also sibling entrepreneurs.

“I love fashion. I love clothes and makeup, skin care and accessories,” said 11-year-old Kadence.

Her business, Girly Gurl, sells hair accessories.

Alvin, 9, offered products for girls, women, boys and men. He sold scented bath bombs, shower steamers and foot soak bombs.

“I have soap for boys. They smell of cedar, lime, natural and mint,” he said of his homemade soaps.

Alaina Peffer, 14, and her sister, Bethany, 13, both of Girard, sold completely different products. Alaina’s Cards & Crafts produced homemade cards for all occasions and handcrafted earrings. Bethany sold soft caramel popcorn under the name Krunchy Kernels by Bethany.

Bethany Peffer said she had monetary considerations when she chose what product to sell.

“It was simple to make, and it did not cost a lot to make the popcorn,” she said.

Using what she learned through the JA program, she realized that her profit margin would be higher with a low-cost product.

Reilly Braun, 11, of Warren Township, used a laser engraver and stencils to create wooden coasters, while his sister, Lyra, 8, sold candles in upcycled glasses for her business, Lyra’s Light.

“We found glasses at Clover Recycling in Warren. We thought that once the candle burns down, the glass could be used again for drinking or another candle could be put inside it,” said their mother, Carrie Simones Braun.

Kian Warren, 7, of Hubbard, sold a product that he created for children and adults to help calm them down. His business, Happy Hands Crafts, sold a focus bottle that is filled with different colored liquids and images inside. It can be turned, squeezed and some items inside glowed in the dark when he flashed a light on it.

His sibling, Rylan Welsh, 12, sold vegan and lard soaps, goat milk and honey soap, which looks like a beehive, for his business, Kidtastic Klean. Like his brother, Kian, he also wants to help people. Ryan donates some of his profits to multiple myeloma cancer research.

The young entrepreneurs offered innovative ways to connect with their customers. Bethany Peffer gave free samples of her popcorn to increase sales.

The only participant without a sibling there, Chloe Wisener, 13, of Boardman, sold sugar scrubs at her business. She offered multiple ways to make purchases easier for customers — they could use Venmo and Zelle.

Children gained multiple skills while they sold their products during JA Market Day that included customer service skills and processing transactions.

Rylan said Market Day helped him in an additional way.

“It helps when I give presentations at school because I am comfortable talking to people now,” he said.

Three awards were given to the young entrepreneurs and their businesses. Henry Gaul won the Most Innovative product award for Henry’s Paracord Paradise. Best Customer Service was presented to Bethany Peffer of Krunchy Kernels, and Best in Show was awarded to Rylan of Kidtastic Kleen.
