Jacqueline Snyder apologizes for the Peanut Tree's closure and tells makers their products sold there prove they can move in wholesale. She spent 20+ years advising product businesses and says to use this proof to pitch other retailers. Find guidance on her podcast The Product Boss.
If you have been making and selling products at the Peanut Tree and you got this email today, first I want to say I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that this happened, but I've been a business strategist and consultant for physical product-based business owners for over 20 years, and I've seen things like this happen all the time. But here's the good news. Here's what I want you to know. If your products were selling at these shops, if they were sitting on shelves, people were walking by and they were buying from you, it means that your products can sell without you. It means that your products can sell Wholesale. So what does that mean? That means that you have proof that your products sell, and that what you get to do now is really figure out how to get into other stores, how to sell wholesale. So if you don't yet know how to do that, follow here, follow The Product Boss, and think about how wholesale will support you. We have a podcast, the link is in my bio, but I want you to know, I just wanted this message to go out to all of you to know that wholesale may be the path for you, because if this worked for you, then that will work for you as well. Okay, good luck, my friends, and I'm sorry that this happened, and it will be okay. There is so much possible and available for you, and let's do it.
