Strategy + Sovereignty: Wholesale, Direct to Consumer, and Community Sales + Marketing Tactics
Description
How do I know whether to sell direct to consumer or wholesale? And are wholesale relationships and accounts really just low margin hassles for larger growers, or do they present a chance at deeply stable, big dollar sales for small producers too? This workshop will teach sales and marketing strategies for a mixed revenue stream approach that embraces direct-to-consumer AND wholesale sales for revenue stability, while teaching methods for playing an active role in community food access as part of your business model.
