How to get your handmade goods into retail shops, gallery shops, and boutiques.

So you want to sell your handmade crafts to brick & mortar retail stores.

In order to do so, of course, you have to reach out to the owner or buyer of the store, and ask!

Today I'm going to share my recommended method for contacting stores you want to get your work into, and some important do's and don'ts about the process.

G'day!

I'm Jess Van Den - a former school teacher and science communicator - and I've wanted to make a living online since 1998. But it took me another decade to figure out how...

I've been 100% self-employed ever since.

I also love learning & sharing more about health, happiness, plants, and how to be more effective as a work-from-home, full-time self-employed creative - so I have all the time I need to do all the things I love.

This was helpful, thank you! My main challenge is the prices, since I'm using good quality suppliers so my cost price isn't that low. So it'd be difficult to make a profit if I sold the items at 50% retail unless I made my products more expensive than my competitors? My cost prices will reduce if I order higher quantities but I didn't want to order large quantities before I knew what would sell.

This is extremely helpful. Thank you so much! Although I will say, coming from Arizona, I got a giggle out of the idea Americans are more "formal" 😆
