Starting your business is a HUGE deal, one that deserves a major pat on the back and some extra champagne.

ScheduleWant to know one of the best feelings in the world? It’s when people love what you make and are excited to give you money for it! As a creative, I KNOW your mind is constantly churning out new ideas and designs, after all, that's where your passion lies! You probably have notebooks FULL of projects you want to get started on and new products you want to bring to market. Here’s where it can get a little tricky. As a small business and creative you need to find the balance between what YOU love and what the market is asking for. Sometimes we swing for the fences and have a major home run on our hands while other times, the product we think is going to be the hottest seller falls flat. As a designer, it’s really difficult a to separate what you WANT to make and what you know will sell. I’m willing to bet that as you read this a few “trends” pop into your mind that you’ve seen everywhere. Those designs and styles that clients and customers are constantly asking for but you’re so freakin tired of creating. 

One of the biggest challenges in wholesale is getting an appointment with the buyer from your favorite store. It can take weeks or months to get something on the calendar! When you finally do get that call or email start by giving yourself a pat on the back because you’ve crossed a major threshold by getting an appointment on the books! Are you ready to leave a lasting impression with your buyer? Here are 10 of my top tips for having a successful appointment.
