Default How Kids Effect Businesses

I was reading an article where a company was producing some brightly colored bracelets. This company at one time had only a few employees.

Then suddenly there was a high demand for these bracelets because kids were buying them like crazy. The company went from having only a few employees to having more than 200 over the last year.

Because kids are wanting these bracelets which are called Bandz, they have created jobs for many people who were probably out of work prior to this.

Of course as you can see by the article I am adding below that there are a lot of schools who are banning these bracelets from the property because of how kids are acting because of these bracelets.

Though kids will still want these bracelets and their popularity will continue until the fame wears off.

Though until that happens thanks to the kids of this country these people and this company are going to be doing a whole lot of business.

Article

When it comes to the economy the most common thoughts are businesses, adults and so on. However kids have a huge impact on our economy just as everyone else.

My daughter is a senior in high school and everyone at her school almost has some of the bracelets.

Tey are the ones that when you pull them off they turn into the shape of different animals.

I really don't understand why they are so popular but they are amoung the youth of today.

Congratulations on the big hit who ever created them.

I remember back in high school there were these bracelets that a lot of people were wearing. I don't remember now what they were called but they were thin pieces of metal wrapped in material. You could pull them straight and then slap them against your wrist and they would wrap around and there was your bracelet.

These things were very popular back then as well. These bracelets were also banned from my school as well as many others. This was because the material covering the metal would eventually wear out exposing the metal within. There were a couple of injuries caused by these bracelets, so they were banned.

There are always things that kids want and when kids want and get this increase production for a company some where. This is a good thing for the company because increase in production means more employment and more money, however at the same time this also means more money coming out of Mom and Dad's pockets to pay for it.LOL.
