The champagne bottles are empty. Confetti lies on the floor.
You launched your product with a bang.
Orders poured in. And going to the post office to send your first orders felt like you won the lottery.
You created a product that people want. You created a product that people paid you for. You created a product that you knew could compete with the big brands.
And you showed your family the beginnings of what it looks like to make money from your passion.
Fast forward a few months and the launch buzz has faded. The sales are spotty. And you’re sitting at your laptop wondering…
What do I need to do now to see sales coming in every single day? What do I need to do now so I can start to pay myself a salary for running this business? What do I need to do now to create a sustainable product business?
Maybe I should post another reel? Maybe I just need some facebook ads...Maybe I should drop my prices....sounds familiar doesn't it?
Here’s the secret to running a sustainable product-based business…
.
.
Let me guess, building your product business has gone a little something like this...
I’ve launched, now what?
How do I find customers who buy again and again?
A roadmap that starts with your business foundations.
In order to make a profit, get paid a CEO salary, and grow your business, it starts with your business foundations.
I’m talking about your margins, your pricing, your goals, and what your Shopify dashboard looks like. Because no amount of reels are going to make you money if your profit margins are off.
This is what running a business strategically is all about.
Having all your systems working together is what it takes to make a successful business.
The reason I do not just focus on marketing or just sales is because I believe it takes more that that. You need great financials, you ned a good people system, you need need a great supply chain and product mix you need the right mindset and resilience.
Having built my own million dollar product businesses, and having consulted with 100's of others since, I know it takes the systems working together.
It’s the difference between having a roadmap that tells you what to do and when to do it and jumping from one marketing trend to the next because you hear about it on a podcast only to get overwhelmed.
As you know building a business is not easy, but also doesn't have to be hard.
Having a guide and directions will give YOU the clarity you are looking for.
You don’t need another reel.
You need a roadmap.
.
Imagine having a flourishing product business with consistent online orders…
Imagine your products being stocked in stores nationally, and maybe even around the world…
Imagine feeling secure knowing the sales keep coming in as you run your business full time.

I’ve built two multi-million dollar product businesses that I’ve since sold, I’ve owned a retail store, I’ve been a buyer for big brands, I’ve been a seller, I’ve exhibited at over 50 trade shows, I’ve worked with 100's of brands to help them grow to over a million in sales, and I’ve taken all of my knowledge and distilled it into an easy-to-follow roadmap that’ll help you confidently take the exact next step you need in order to grow your business to consistent five-figure months and beyond.
Former lecturer of Fashion Business With 25 years in retail and wholesale, I’ve done it all.
I'm Mel! The girl who fell in love with business.
Hi 👋🏻
I LOVE THIS CHICK💕 She's real, relevant and relatable. Mel has helped me so such setting up my Retail store and understanding how to buy better, market my business and make sure I am making a profit!!
KAT - THE RURAL TRADER
Mel's costing spreadsheet is a game-changer. It’s amazing and so easy to use. I now have a clear understanding of my costings, pricing and margins.
I know exactly what target prices I should be aiming for when researching new products.
Felicity
INK SPILLER
If you’re like me and dream big, but didn’t get your degree in business, Mel & her course is the missing link, the hand you need to help you. She is kind, knowledgeable, encouraging, honest & I know I’m so lucky I’ve found her.
SamMY - CUTesy wootsy.
Doing your course has instilled a newfound confidence in me! Imposter syndrome be gone.
MEG- THE GLITTER TRIBE
I was running a business by myself. I was excited but also totally overwhelmed, I was new to manufacturing and ecommerce and there were so many decisions to be made everyday. Mel's programs were absolutely invaluable to me. She gave me templates to work out pricing, she gave me all the tips and tricks I needed to become a successful retailer and wholesaler. I was no longer doing it alone and trying to reinvent the wheel!
Kelly- KLIPSTA
Most people think that the way to $10k months on repeat involves constantly posting on social media.
They want to attract more potential customers to their business and that’s what they’ve been taught.
Do a reel. Go viral. Get a sale.
And sure, you might get a sale. But it’s not sustainable.
It’s not enough just to attract someone into your world.
If hitting 5 or 6 figure months has been on your dream board for the longest time- it Is time for tHings to change
YOU NEED TO NURTURE THEM UNTIL THEY CONVERT. AND THEN NURTURE THEM UNTIL THEY BUY AGAIN. AND THEN NURTURE THEM UNTIL THEY BECOME LOYAL RAVING FANS.
IT’S NOT ABOUT HOW MANY VIEWS YOU GET ON YOUR LATEST POST. IT’S HOW YOU CONVERT VIEWERS INTO BUYERS WHO BUY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
.

Sarah- Good Thing
This program has changed my life! I have so much clarity now in my business. I cannot believe the amazing growth I've achieved in business.
Alexandra Strong.
Best money I have spent on my business! This was the first online course of its kind I have invested in and it has been well worth it! I already have several wholesalers and it helped me pave the way and avoid mistakes which I 100% would have made without doing the course! As a busy mum it was great being able to re watch the content and take notes etc...
Amanda Joy- Fawn & Flora
Your course is so rich in amazing information. Iam devouring the content, and love it! :) I feel like I have this amazing opportunity to get this right from the ground up! Thank you so much!!
Any product-based business owners who has a to-do list a mile long and has no idea where to start first, those who feel like you need more exposure, need more traffic, need more customers…
If you’re spread too thin trying to do it all and not doing anything well with profit margins are low, your conversions are even lower and your social media follow feels non-existent...
Who is this program for?
As long as you have a product underway or almost ready to go then this is for you.
If you are still searching for your product then maybe come back once you have it ready to launch or book a 1 on 1 session with Mel.
Is this program suitable for me IF I DON’T HAVE A PRODUCT TO SELL YET?
.
It depends on how fast you can implement everything!! There are many factors to consider and no guarantees of income or timelines. The market does decide. But if you have a USP and prices set to suit market conditions and your branding and products that are Retail ready you will be well on your way asap!
When can I expect to hit $10k months?
No. Not at all. Tech and the systems I recommend are designed to make your life easier, not harder. They’re all user-friendly, simple to use and come with tech support. Plus, I act as your translator, turning techy speak into plain old English showing practical videos and demonstrations.
Will I get left behind IF I Don"t have TECH skills?
I totally get it. You’ve invested a lot to get here. And you’ve learnt a lot in the process too. You’ve become the expert on your product. But there’s one area that you’re not an expert in and it’s letting you down. It’s time to become the business expert.
Learn how to run a product-based business. Learn how to be a successful owner of a product-based business. Learn how to become the CEO of a product-based business.
That’s what this course will teach you.
I have already invested in courses before what makes this roadmap different?
over 100 other business owners have implemented systems that give them these results.
Haven't launched a product yet and still in the exploration stage.
You are not willing to try new things in your business and test and evolve different tactics.
You want easy and quick fixes. Running a product business takes commitment and tenacity. You have to be willing to put in time and persistent effort.
You want someone to do all the work for you. Sorry girlfriend that ain't me. Think of me as your guide and coach but not your magical wizard.
This program is for business owners who are ready to dive in and take action. It's not right for you if:
wanting consistent Hell yes
monthly sales!!
OPen to trying new things
And willing to work smarter
Ready to take action to make YOUR product business a success.
This program is right for you if you are:

Leela -Solart
I am so glad I did the program, it has really helped highlight areas I need to work on and how to fixes past issues I was unclear on how to solve. Very useful for setting your business up for selling to either DTC or wholesale.
So here we are down the pointy end....you can keep googling and guessing about what you should focus on next in your business or you can invest the time and money from someone who has been there before.
Take my 25 years in the industry and use it to fast track your progress! The time is now- what will you do?
It's time to stop dreaming and start doing.
buckle up business owner
The best way to ensure you are ready to start wholesaling!

Naomi- House of Lacuna
Definitely do it. It is such a great resource that you can come back to again and again. Mel is so generous in her time and thoughts and even at the end of the course it doesn’t feel like that is it - I feel like she would always be happy to answer a question.
Louise- Red Bobble
Do not think twice about it. The program has been invaluable. It is Applicable. Practical. Invaluable!
