Ever wondered what it takes to land a deal with the top retailers nationwide?
Today, Juliana VanLaanen, co-founder of 2 Mama Bees, pulls back the curtain. Just five years ago, she and her best friend, Samantha, started a backyard Etsy shop selling handmade window boxes and refurbished playhouses.
Fast forward, and now their playhouses are available in over 110 retail locations and major online platforms—including Target, Walmart, and Saks Fifth Avenue, plus seasonally at FAO Schwarz.
In this Part 2 of our conversation, Juliana dives into her experience at Walmart’s Open Call, an event where sellers pitch directly to buyers, and she shares;
- her top tips for landing that game-changing invitation,
- the best places to get your product noticed online,
- her strategy for negotiating exclusivity, and
- why breaking into stores like Costco, with its almost four-year buying cycle, is a long game that’s worth the wait.
