Practical guidance. Greater confidence. A clearer path to wholesale.
I was honored to be one of the first students. I had no idea how to price my work for wholesale, and I was terrified of reaching out to stores. IndieMe Academy walked me through it step by step. Now I’ve landed three wholesale accounts and feel like a real business owner. I also had no idea how to use social media to support my new business. Jessica helped me brainstorm, I found my voice, and I even had a boutique reach out to me on Instagram.
IndieMe Academy doesn’t just teach artists how to sell wholesale. It helps transform them into confident business owners using real-life tools and exercises presented in a thoughtful, practical way. I wish IndieMe Academy had been around when we started our wholesale business!
I’ve been with IndieMe for well over a decade and understand how difficult it can be to successfully wholesale your work. I was excited to hear about IndieMe Academy, and Jackie was kind enough to let me preview it. I am very impressed with how thorough and detailed the modules are. The program clearly explains the basics and then gets into the details of entering the wholesale market and setting yourself up for success. The mentoring component is a real game-changer! I wish I had invested in something like this when I was starting to wholesale. It would have saved me time, money, and a lot of frustration.
Wow! This is a thorough program for anyone who wants to make the transition from retail-only to wholesale selling. The lessons are packed with solid information and assignments that move your planning forward. Complete the assignments, work through the quizzes, and take advantage of the mentor and Academy Lounge, and you will feel much more comfortable navigating the wholesale world. It is very different from retail shows, and preparedness is key. This program helps prepare artists for both in-person and online wholesale business.
I began my wholesale journey five years ago, and I genuinely wish IndieMe Academy had been available to me at that time. This program covers everything you need to showcase your products confidently in the wholesale market. It addresses a wide range of topics, from launching your business to pricing for profit, advertising, and beyond. The course offers invaluable insights that can contribute to an artist’s success.
I have found the Academy to be incredibly accurate, useful, detailed, and helpful for anyone who wants to improve their marketing and sales. I would highly recommend it to any hesitant artist who is uncertain about how to conduct their business profitably and enjoyably. Even artists who have maintained a successful business for a long time will find useful ideas, tools, and inspiration.
IndieMe Academy is the place to learn all things wholesale. For creatives who want to spend more of their time making, the clear, intuitive design of the lessons makes learning easy.
IndieMe Academy is an extremely valuable source of information. It can guide you through starting a wholesale business and help you make that business a success.
