About this Event
We are so excited to announce the return of our Entrepreneur Fair in Bakersfield! If you have a student with big ideas and a drive for making a profit, this is the event for you! Heartland students will have the opportunity to plan out a small business and sell their goods or services at our event. This is a great way to earn some business experience and some spending money!
After registering, each student will be required to fill out a short business plan to confirm their spot. The business plan will require students to calculate their expenses and potential profit margin, as well as consider how they will package and promote their product. Items sold can be homemade or store-bought but should not be affiliated with a direct sales company (e.g. Doterra, Scentsy, Norwex, etc.).
There is a limited number of booth plots available, and students who do not submit their business plan on time will lose their reservation to a student on the waitlist. Please only register one student per business! Helpers, family members, customers, and additional student sellers at the same booth should register under the Entrepreneur Fair Guest listing on Eventbrite. Booths should be student-led and parent-supported. Students should be prepared to answer customer questions, promote their products, and make change with minimal help.
Please see the list below for more FAQs:
Booth Set-up - Your student will be responsible for providing everything that they need to run their booth. We will provide each business with a 10'x10' plot. These plots will be assigned on a first- come, first-served basis on the day of the event. (You can arrive as early as 1:30 pm to set up.) Some recommended items for your booth set- up: a table, a chair, a pop-,up if you'd like shade, acash box or other safe place to keep your money, products for sale, & atrash can.
No electricity provided. It is not in our agreement with the church to use their electricity. If your student will need electricity, please consider using batteries or a generator. Food can be kept hot or cold in chafing trays or coolers.
Food - Food items should be nut-free and individually packaged. Because many people have allergies or other dietary restrictions, it would be helpful for all food vendors to provide a list of the ingredients included in their products. This will help potentialcustomers feel more confident about purchasing food from your booth.
Trash Cans - As guests at the church, it is very important that we clean up thoroughly after our event. There is a dumpster on site. We request that each business provides a small trash can or trash bag for their customers, and then cleans up all trash around their booth before leaving for the day.
Money - Many of your businesses will have items with small price tags. Therefore, we recommend bringing an abundance of change in small bills. If a customer gives you a $20 bill to pay for a $1 item, you will need $19 in change for a single transaction. The more small bills you can bring, the more customers you will be able to serve. We have also found that items with smaller price tags have been more successful at this event.
Please consider keeping your products to items under $10.
We encourage you to submit a work sample highlighting what your student learned from this field trip during your next learning period. It helps to ensure that we can continue to provide these opportunities.
