How to Turn from Reseller to Brand Owner
In this episode we explore how to shift from being a product reseller into owning and running your own beauty or skincare brand. We’ll walk you through building your brand identity, developing unique formulas, moving beyond distribution to ownership, assessing manufacturing and supply-chain control, creating your packaging and story, and establishing direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels. You’ll get strategic insight on how to elevate from “selling someone else’s label” to “owning the label”, why brand equity matters, and how to position yourself for scale. Whether you’re currently reselling for your store, kiosk, market stall—or you’ve been buying wholesale and want to build something bigger—this episode gives you actionable steps, mindset shifts, and the business roadmap to become the founder, not just the distributor.
