10 Proven Ways to Get in Front of Retail Buyers (and Stay Top of Mind)
In this special solo episode of Shelf Talks, I’m breaking down 10 proven ways to connect with retail buyers and stay top of mind—without feeling stuck, invisible, or ignored.
As a retail buyer myself, I’ve seen what works (and what gets passed over). From leveraging LinkedIn the right way, to using trade shows, accelerator programs, awards, local stores, press, social media, and even TV, I’m sharing the insider strategies that founders on this very podcast have used to get their products on shelves at Target, Ulta, CVS, Walmart, and beyond.
If you’ve ever felt like:
- You don’t know how to reach buyers.
- You’ve pitched but never get responses.
- You’re unsure where to start when it comes to making retail connections.
…then this episode will give you a clear roadmap and real-world examples to help you move forward.
Grab your notebook—this is your step-by-step guide to turning “how do I connect with buyers?” into “my product is on shelf.”
I'm so excited to hear how you have connected from these tips!
