My feature article is a little different this week. Yesterday I spoke at the Atlanta Ladies Who Launch Event and in addition to product packaging the attendees wanted to learn about personal packaging too. For those of you who don’t know I package people too so I thought I would write about your personal package and your brand.

WANT TO SELL YOUR PRODUCT TO TARGET?
 
Selling your products in large retail outlets may seem like an impossible dream.  But it’s not as hard as you might think.
 
In a new Special Report, “Skyrocket Your Sales by Getting Your Product in Target,”  you’ll read how Christa Sorauf, Creative Director of Connexxions, Inc. licensed her product and got it on the shelves at Target.  Today her greeting cards, manufactured by American Greetings, are also in Wal-Mart and next year they will be in 35,000 retail outlets.  The Connexxions folks get a royalty for every unit sold.
 
The Report, written by Margie Zable Fisher, shows you, step-by-step, how to sell your products to Target — even if
you’re a small business.
 
The Report is only $49 — a real deal, considering that the initial order for Target stores is often 9,000 products or more.  You can get more information here: http://www.profcs.com/app/?Clk=2140850
