Is Wholesale Right for Your Business?

Looking to grow your business? Considering wholesale for your giftware or food-based business? This is the session for you. Join Business Advisor Peter Harriman and Chris Cole as they discuss the essentials in getting into wholesale. We will discuss the advantages and how it is different from selling at a retail level (direct to customer). We will also dive into creating a plan to scale your business into the wholesale market, and what you need to do to prepare to be profitable. Lastly, we’ll talk about common mistakes business owners make when going into wholesale!

These seminars are part of a series in partnership with the New England Made Giftware & Speciality Food show, and are appropriate for anyone exploring wholesale trade!
