Hello, I’m Melanie Woods.

For over four decades, I’ve built a rewarding career selling my own designs directly to retail stores.

During that time I've experienced the highs, learnt from the challenges, and mastered what truly works in the wholesale world.

Throughout the years, I’ve transformed my creative passion into a sustainable business, and now I’m excited to share that knowledge with you.

This course is the result of everything I’ve learned about moving beyond markets and one-off sales to create a thriving, profitable wholesale brand.

What makes wholesale better than retail?

No more 9-5 / 6-7 day weeks

Work to your own schedule

Go where the sales are good - follow seasonal selling times

Choose when, where and how you trade

Go full digital or analogue, whichever suits your personal preference

Build relationships, face to face, person to person

No more one-off sales, instead, one happy stockist provides years of trading

Be your own boss

Make your own rules
