The Business of Building Young Entrepreneurs

How to convince your parents to buy you a Poketti Plushie!

Summer for Sydney and Toni, co-founders of Poketti, means getting some creative work done for their company. They especially love fulfilling orders, and we just haven't had enough of those lately to keep them satisfied. So, we put Poketti on sale (just $12.99 for a limited time!), and made this video for all the kids out there whose parents need a little "convincing." Beware parents, it always seems to work on me!

Enjoy! And please tell your friends about our business -- the girls put some love in every box!
