Chocolate, Marketing & Brands: SUN 7/8 Field Trip to Downtown Palo Alto

Dear Parents of Teen Entrepreneurs,

We're hosting our first field trip!

What makes us sit up and pay attention to particular products and services?

When we walk by a store front, what draws us in and keeps us intrigued?

Our theme for exploring Downtown Palo Alto will be to search for those businesses that use powerful marketing and branding to steer us through their front doors and capture our imagination.

You'll see businesses with new eyes after this fun, interactive event!

Please tell parents about this complimentary event and RSVP "Yes!" for our first field trip. We'll start by meeting at Monique's Chocolate shop!

Parents Raising Teen Entrepreneurs

Writing Coaches Shu-Hsien Ho and Royd Hatta have had several lives as business owners since 2002. Their business ventures have included Ella and Monk, a small greeting card and graphic design company; investment and management of two apartment complexes in Kentucky; and more recently, their writing workshop business which grew from running two writing clubs for youth, Bay Area Young Writers and Bay Area Teen Writers. By special parent request, Ms. Ho and Mr. Hatta introduced a business plan course for teens in 2011. In this course, one teen developed a marketing strategy for his iPhone game app, three teens formed a local cupcake business, and another teen researched an innovative environmental solution to preserve native plants in California.
