How to market your business and sell more product in the time of “social distancing”

The current pandemic is challenging business owners across the nation to get creative and get out of their comfort zone to keep their businesses generating sales.

Makerhoods is so excited to have teamed up with The Product Boss to give you some tips to market your product-based business during this time followed by an open Q&A.

What is a product-based business? Think anything that's tangible...

• Fashion (e.g. clothing, jewelry, accessories, etc)

• Beauty (e.g. lip balm, lotion, makeup, etc.)

• Home decor (e.g. candles, pillows, vases, etc.)

• Handmade crafts

• Manufactured goods

• Basically anything you make or get manufactured!
