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.
