#1 Resource for Running a Product Business
One of my goals for 2020 was to expand my online shop. This goal included designing more artwork, creating more products, and eventually generating more sales. In this blog post, I’m sharing my #1 resource that I use for running my online shop. I often get asked where I get things printed, what vendors I use, etc. This blog post includes the resource I use for allll of that and more! Use this link below to get a discount on your membership!

A-Z Directory
The A-Z Directory was created by Cami + ElisaAnne of Biz Birthday Bash. Membership to the directory includes a list FULL of vendors and resources for building a product-based business. I’d been wanting to purchase a membership for a while now and I’m upset I didn’t do it sooner. It’s THAT good.
What does it include?
Not only does the Directory include a list of over 200 vendors, but it includes access to a private Facebook group of other creatives, business owners, and entrepreneurs. This Facebook group is a community of like-minded individuals who constantly answer one another’s questions, give recommendations on vendors, and helping each other’s businesses grow.
In the Facebook group each month, Cami + ElisaAnne do a power hour where they answer additional business questions through Facebook Live. These two are the hosts of the Biz Bash Podcast (my all-time favorite podcast- see more podcast recommendations here) and they have SO much knowledge. Honestly, having access to these two is worth the price alone because they have so much experience and tips.
How has it changed my business?
The motto of the A-Z Directory is “search less, create more” and honestly that is so true. Before I became a part of the Directory, I would have an idea but have absolutely no clue how to execute it. I’d research different vendors and spend hours trying to figure out which ones were trustworthy, ordering an analyzing samples, and more. The Directory is a great resource for finding reliable vendors that are recommended by dozens of other creatives. It’s made creating products a million times easier and less stressful. Expanding your shop can be nerve-wracking but it should also be fun and exciting.
I purchased my membership a couple weeks ago and since then, I have added notepads to my shop as well as stickers. I’m currently working on keychains, sticker sheets, and SO much more. Honestly, the possibilities are endless and I’m so excited to see how my product side of my business expands thanks to the A-Z Directory.
