Today, Grace Kang and I are unlocking the mysteries that surround getting your products into retail store and boutique shops. So, if you want to break in to the world of landing wholesale orders, you’ll want to listen in on my 40 minute podcast with Grace.
For those that don’t already know Grace’s story, she is the owner of Pink Olive (a specialty boutique in New York City), the brain behind Retail Recipes, and she was previously a buyer for stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdales.
I asked Grace the questions that you want answered most, and together, we’ll de-mystify the crazy world of retail and getting buyers to notice you…
Here’s what we discussed in the 40 minute podcast:
-Common mistakes that designers make when approaching retail buyers and how they can be avoided.
-What you can do right now to grab the attention of buyers.
-The top ten things you must do before you approach a retail store.
-And more.
Get the free download we discussed at the beginning of the podcast, by opting-in at retailrecipes.com (you’ll see the box on the right hand side of the home page).

It alerted me to some the mistakes I have made in the past and gave me some great tips for my future encounters with stores that I approach. Thanks for sharing! –Megan Winn The Binding Bee
