From Dancing to Puppy Love!
Tallahassee Chapter 6010 and Chapter 6010 Kidz has two young men, Jacob and Zachary Fournier, ages 9 and 11, respectively, who have embraced the ballroom dance life. Eager to dance the night away with ladies, young and old. Bringing smiles to faces with every dance step. But with COVID, virtual school, and dance coming to a screeching halt, they wanted to do something for their community and to keep busy.
After several brain-storming white-board sessions, these little entrepreneurs decided that the dogs in their neighborhood needed some nutritional all organic, all-natural, no sugar, no preservatives, and no artificial flavors, dog treats.
They came up with the logo, the name, and the flavors they were going to sell. Spot On! Dog Treats. They had a marketing plan, a price point, a revenue goal, and how they were going to be packaged. The works! To get the word out, with the first batches, Zachary and Jacob, gave samples to all the dog owners in the neighborhood, along with a “pop-up barkery” stand. It was a success.
Over the summer, Zachary and Jacob had plenty of “pop-ups” around Tallahassee. Local dog parks, veterinarian clinics, grooming locations, and condos. They also made personal and shipping deliveries.
Large orders began to come in from Atlanta to Seattle. Business was booming.
In September, a local community organization, Fun4TallyKids.org, put on the 3rd Annual Kidz Biz Fair, despite COVID. It was held outdoors and Spot On! Dog Treats was represented. Spot On! was the talk of the fair. The final pop-up was held at a local craft fair in November.
On December 12, USA Dance 6010 was able to put on a dance to celebrate the end of the year. Nine months later, the boys still have not lost their dance moves. Wooing the ladies and making them smile from ear-to-ear.
That night, we also gained two more members of the Tallahassee Chapter 6010 Kidz group. I cannot wait to see what is in store for our youth members in 2021.
