Selling Face-to-Face: Lessons from 100+ Festivals as Vendors & Organizers

Description

By John & Lindsay Hill, Co-Founders of Pathway Vendors LLC In a world increasingly driven by online sales, in-person events remain one of the most powerful ways for entrepreneurs to build loyal customers and grow their brands. 

Drawing on their experience selling at over 100 festivals across the country, and now producing large-scale chocolate and coffee festivals ourselves, this session shares practical insights from both sides of the table. They will explore what makes festivals successful for vendors, how to choose the right events, and the key strategies that help chocolate makers turn sampling and conversations into meaningful sales and long-term customer relationships. 

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to make in-person events and experiences a stronger part of their overall business strategy. (PLUS: We'll share a list of our favorite NON-chocolate/coffee events nationwide to sell at.)
