THE DETAILS

You will have an unprecedented chance to learn what it takes to exhibit and sell to independent retailers, gift stores, boutiques, specialty stores, home décor stores, holiday stores, and more.
The Las Vegas Market is where Small Retailers purchase the majority of products they sell in their stores throughout the year.
You will learn their needs. You'll learn about store merchandising, packaging design for shelf impact, line introductions for optimal merchandising, and insider secrets to increase sales to customers and retailers. Learn about agencies, showrooms, and sales reps. And see, in-person, how technology can be used to put your products in front retailers.
This workshop is an opportunity to kickstart your product-based business. Perfect if you want to expand beyond Amazon or get your invention onto store shelves.
There is nowhere better to learn about selling to retailers than the world’s largest retailer event. Not only will you learn skills, you will also see first-hand how to present in front of over 40,000 retailers and build a sales force to sell your product.
FOUR-DAY WORKSHOP
Learn the ins-and-outs of selling to Independent Retailers, Specialty Stores, Gift Shops and Boutiques from experienced professionals and extraordinary special guests.
Steven Selikoff is a serial entrepreneur, founder of Product Development Academy and author of The COMPLETE BOOK of Product Design, Development, Manufacturing & Sales. He has been selling products to Retailers since 2001.
If you want the joy of entering a store, walking down and aisle, and seeing YOUR product on the shelf, then you owe it to yourself to be here.
The Las Vegas Market is the premier exhibition for furniture, gift, houseware, boutique, niche, and décor products. It is open year long (to the retailer industry only), but dramatically expands during January Market Week
Most people already know that I sell products too, and I have been doing so since 2001. During one of the very first Marts I was ever part of, I personally made over a year's worth of sales in in four days. I will show you how I did it.
I will teach you the processes, the tricks and the techniques. Then together, at the show, we will observe and analyze multiple brands and agencies, so that you can be super successful on the day that you start selling your products here too.
Attendees at our previous events consistently say that the How To Sell To Retailers workshop has changed their lives.
Previous Workshops:
The two biggest Retailer Marts are held twice a year, in Atlanta and Las Vegas. These are not tradeshows. They are gigantic multi-building complexes built to give retailers the best opportunity to see and buy products for their stores. This is where most CPG stores go to look for products to put on their shelves.
Often people consider the Canton Fair in China as the sourcing end of the process, and consider the Retailer Marts in Atlanta and Las Vegas as the Sales end of the process.
