On November 30th, Small Business Saturday will be celebrated nationwide, encouraging consumers to support local businesses. While many parents are eager to take advantage of this initiative, two mompreneurs are highlighting the benefits of involving kids in the event.
Ronne Brown, the owner of HERLISTIC, a plant-derived beauty brand, has been engaging her four children in her business since its establishment. Her kids, ranging from ages 10 to 24, assist with customer service, shipping, and even TikTok trends related to the beauty industry. Brown emphasizes the importance of teaching her kids the value of hard work, commitment, and financial literacy, including investing in the stock market.
Hiring children during Small Business Saturday can provide them with the opportunity to learn about earning, saving, and investing money. Understanding child labor laws and IRS regulations is essential before bringing kids on board. Brown pays all her children for their work, aiming to instill a strong financial foundation in them.
Lisset Tresvant, the owner of Glow Esthetics Spa, involves her 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son in her business activities as well. Beyond helping with increased sales during events like Small Business Saturday, Tresvant hopes that her kids will grasp the importance of her business legacy and potentially take over in the future.
By including kids in the operations of small businesses during events like Small Business Saturday, parents are setting a foundation for financial education, work ethics, and potentially securing the future of their businesses within their families.
