Key Takeaways:

Getting Retail Ready: Learn what a retailer looks for in a brand before they agree to stock it.

Understanding Wholesale Terms: Get a clear picture of margins, minimum orders, and payment terms in a retail relationship.

Managing the Relationship: Discover how to keep a retail partnership working well once the first order is placed.

Knowing When You're Ready to Scale: Understand the signs that your business can support retail, and the signs it cannot yet.
