“My experience at NY NOW was life changing, the highlight being it enabled me to quit my day job and work on my business full time. I gained so much from my time at the show in addition to the orders I picked up.
I learned how to effectively talk about my products as a wholesaler and business and not just as a maker/artist. I also took away a huge list of leads and now have several new accounts.
Since being home I have also been developing new projects based on what I learned from NY NOW and have broadened my audience to include nurseries and other plant stories. Overall since the show I feel way more confident in my abilities as a businesswomen and in the success of my business.”
