Special Edition | 2018 National Stationery Show, Part 3

I’m back with our third and final National Stationery show recap.Today you’ll hear from four of our Paper Camp alumni. We talk about sharing a booth, the benefits of planning ahead and how you gotta roll with the punches when things don’t go quite as planned. Today’s episode features interviews with Jessica of Little Well Paper Co, Robyn from Lake & Loft, Meghan from And Here We Are and Allison from The Social Type.

Before we get started, I wanted to let you know that we’re running our first ever summer session of the Paper Camp E-Course. This course will help you get your product line ready for wholesale, refine your sales tools, strengthen your marketing and exhibit at shows.

We’ve helped thousands of brands launch or refine their wholesale program. Brands that you’ll find on the shelves of Target, Anthropologie, Container Store, Paper Source and independent boutiques internationally. If you want to build a strong wholesale foundation and see your products on the shelves of retail shops, I invite you to join us! Classes start on June 4th. Learn more and register here.
