Can I Help You Get Your Products Into More Retail Stores?

Hey INDIEs!

It's October 18! How I have been waiting for this
day! Tonight, I'm hosting what I know will be one
of our best calls ever to help you connect with,
enchant, and appeal to retailers and buyers of natural
products. To help me do that is Susan Mann,
whose work ethic and tenacity is downright
contagious. Through laser focus, Susan culled
the best of her handmade product line and delivered it to Whole
Foods Market Boston so there was no way they would turn her down.

She's going to share her best secrets and one-two-three
pointers on tonight's call How I Got My Products Into Whole
Foods Market (and how you can too!) Don't miss it, tonight, 8pm EST.

Even if you don't want to be in Whole Foods Market, the
real life stories Susan will share will help you get on whatever
shelf you want. See you all there! (And don't miss Susan's beautiful
products on display in her photo gallery!) 

Now, onto the fun stuff Indies are chatting about online this week!
