AmericasMart is both for buyers and sellers. Before I attended my first AmericasMart, I was searching for information on how to navigate the wholesale buying process, where to stay, and what to prioritize on a limited timeline and budget. And while I did finally go to market and have a successful buying trip, I wish I’d had someone to give me an overview beforehand.
Needless to say, attending your first wholesale market as an indie retail store owner or maker can be intimidating. Whether it’s Dallas, Vegas, Atlanta, or another wholesale market, there are definitely some key things to know before you first walk into the exhibition halls.
Listen in for tips on how to attend market as either a buyer or a maker, as well as how to access a free resource that’s packed with all the nitty gritty details you’ll need for your first market trip. For show notes, visit www.savvyshopkeeper.com/episode14.
