When you’re looking to expand your handmade business then diving into the world of wholesale is probably an option that has crossed your mind.
If it has, then you might also have noticed that Etsy Wholesale has been dialed back a bit.
Well, never fear… My guest on the podcast this week is Emily Kerr-Finell, she’s the Co-Founder, Maker Coach, and pretty much runs the show at Wholesale In A Box.
Best of all, Emily is sharing hope and encouragement for makers looking to get into the wholesale arena who need a little (or a lot of) hand-holding.
Emily shares the story behind Wholesale In A Box (WIAB) and how she started serving the maker market in this segment of the industry. We also talk about:
- The WIAB ethos and who the ideal client for this service is
- What WIAB offers subscribers… FYI, it’s a whole lot more than you’ll get elsewhere (at least, that I know of )
- How to determine if and when you’re ready for wholesale
- Wholesale marketing tips
- Advice for Etsy sellers about how to avoid some common mistakes creative business owners make
- Pros & cons of selling your products on wholesale
- The importance of planning and consistency when going wholesale
- And a whole lot more…
