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 had no clue how to use social media to benefit my new business, Jessica helped me brainstorm, I've found my voice and even had a boutique reach out to on Instagram.

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 the IndieMe Academy, and Jackie was kind enough to let me preview it. I am very impressed with how thorough and detailed the various modules are. It clearly explains basics as well as gets into the nitty-gritty details of successfully entering the wholesale market and setting yourself up for success. The mentoring component of this academy 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 & 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 module lessons are packed full of solid information, with assignments that will propel your planning forward. Complete those, work through the quizzes, and with the added advantage of a mentor and the Academy Lounge, it will certainly make you much more comfortable navigating the wholesale world. It’s a very different place from retail shows, and preparedness is key. This will help prepare you for both in-person and online wholesale business.

The IndieMe Academy is an extremely valuable source of information that can lead you through starting a wholesale business AND how to make that business a success!

I think more and more people are beginning to appreciate handmade objects. That said, I am excited for makers to learn how to grow their handmade businesses with IndieMe Academy.

I began my wholesale journey five years ago, and I genuinely wish I had the IndieMe Academy available to me at that time. This program includes everything you need to showcase your products in the wholesale market confidently. It covers a wide range of topics, from launching your business to pricing for profit, advertising, and beyond. This course offers invaluable insights that will contribute to your success.

Before IndieMe Academy, I was just winging it. Now I have a line sheet, a pricing strategy, and systems in place. I’ve already seen a 40% increase in wholesale orders.
