Hannah Altman

For my blog post today,

Only just 10 years old, Hannah Altman of West Bloomfield is the founder and CEO of Hannah’sCool World where she and her parents sells cool toys all over the world. In business since 2009, her site has sold more than 250,000 pencil toppers.

Hannah Altman who is just like a regular 9 year old cute little girl from West Bloomfield, Michigan went out for a dinner with her family one night. One that very night, she saw a cool pencil toppers and stopped at a vending machine looking amazed and curious at the same time while looking at that small toy. She liked the pencil topper very much and therefore insisted her dad, Rick Altman to buy the pencil topper for her.

When she reached home,  she then asked her dad if pencil toppers could be sold online and also requested him to help her create a website. Both Hannah’s mom and dad was happy to see their daughter interest in business and therefore they created a website, Hannah’s Cool World for her. Here is the point where she start to have creative marketing thinking. This is maybe due to the genes of her family as entrepreneurship had been a practice in her family. Her mother, Lauren Altman started a home-based zipper-pull company named Cool Zips when Hannah was only six. Actually, Hannah who have a young entrepreneur mind was the one who cane up with the idea to start Cool Zip. To my amazement, Hannah is really a creative and practical thinker as such age I must say.  

Her dad, Rick who is having a business part time decided to leave her job when Cool Zip business starts to bloom.Both her parents bought Googles pay per click to drive traffic to Hannah’s Cool World and soon orders start coming in. Hannah manages and writes her website herself, fill orders and even lead the customer service. On the other hand, she was assisted by both her parents where they both manages finance and quality control as managing partners

On top of that, her parents will attend trade shows and toy events to look for other products to be featured in their website. Since Hannah is too young to attend this kind of shows and events, her parents will bring back brochures and pictures for Hannah who will  then make the decision on what type of products that should be sell in their website.

She is a very young entrepreneur with lots of potential and she is definitely learning the ropes well at this age. She is an inspiration for those who are struggling to make money online. As we always say, if you have the creativity, try your business luck online.
