Scaling Up Sales for the Wholesale Market

Workshop: December 10th, 2018

Are you thinking of increasing your volume of sales by selling more to stores, restaurants and/or institutions? If so, this is the workshop you need! Scaling up sales for the wholesale market can have serious pitfalls if you are not prepared.  How can you market effectively to wholesale buyers, without losing your shirt? Let’s talk about

  • identifying what the market wants
  • projecting financial and operational implications of scaling up
  • developing targeted market materials and relationships with wholesale buyers

During this workshop, you will have an opportunity to engage with potential wholesale buyers (restaurant/store/institutional) about what they need from farmers - in terms of pricing, packaging, handling, delivery etc.

Join us for this practical and jam-packed day that will help you plan for the future. There is Early Bird Pricing available before November 16! For more information click here.
