We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kloee Sky. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kloee below.

Hi Kloee, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear your thoughts about family businesses.

Hello my name is Kloee Sky. I am the founder of Kupkake Blue LLC. I am 11 years old and a Kidprenuer from Dallas, GA. My thoughts of having a business is deeply rooted within my family. Kupkake Blue is not only a business founded by me, but built also with the support of my siblings and mother as well. Being a Woman-led business by my mother, my sister Karsi Cruz Ortega helps me create new designs by drawing artistic sketchworks for Kupkake Blue of my constant ideas. She loves to draw and put my ideas onto paper. After the illustration process, production begins with the jewelry making. At the age of 5, my mother showed me how to crochet. With the hands-on-experince, years later, I decided to start a Yarn Fun Collection. After the illustrations are drawn, the jewelry making phase is the most exciting phase ever. My brother, Karlian Cruz Ortega, helped to name my business back in 2018. He later started a beverage company as a teenprenuer named, Fruitanade LLC thereafter. As a family, our parents taught us about financial literacy at a very young age. As we grew older, my siblings and I decided to start our journey as young Kidprenuers. In 2021, we participated in the Kids Expo, showcasing our work to more Georgia consumers. So far, this business journey have both taught us about generational wealth and corporate America as a whole.

Kloee, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Kupkake Blue formed in year 2018. I told my mom I wanted to make jewelry and sell it to girls. I was always fascinated by crocheting and handmaking jewelry pieces. My very 1st design started with plush pom poms. I created this style and called it the Kotton Kandy Collection.I was invited to display my handmade jewelry pieces in various East Cobb business groups. Later,I  started to showcase Kupkake Blue at the Powder Springs Farmers Market. With word of mouth from customers there and networking with various business professionals, Kupkake Blue began to expand the product lines. I believe that attending various networking events with business professionals along with displaying Kupkake Blue’s products at various vending events, helped to open the door to more new consumers within the city. Returning customers complimented the business on having great, high quality products for youth girls. Currently, Kupkake Blue is known within the community for making unique styles that sets us apart from other brands. The love for the colorful, playful, and fun looking crocheted styles are now in high demand.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

The best source of new clients for Kupkake Blue is high driven marketing power. Our team have been running nationwide marketing billboard campaigns throughout the U.S. We have acquired a lot of customers by billboard advertisements. From marketing in Times Square diring peak hours to highway drivers commuting daily in rush hour traffic in Alabama, we have worked hard to aim in increasing brand awareness on a national level. It’s a lot of hardwork and effort though. Sometimes, we get no feedback and in many cases, during the slowest times, prospective consumers would inquire about our products. We also aim in promoting our products on social media as well and in other media/press areas for brand awareness.
