On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Joseph Heller, Founder & CEO of The/Studio and Supplied, California-based platforms offering on-demand product creation/manufacturing and all-in-one wholesale solutions to small businesses.

We all know either heard of or even come across Live selling on social media. More and more businesses are leveraging the rising popularity of social selling. While it may not be huge in the US just yet, it’s already super popular in many other parts of the world. 

Setting up an online store is easy, but finding the best products at the right price is easier said than done. Even once you have found a suitable product for your niche, getting it directly from manufacturers is extremely difficult. You have to do due diligence, face minimum order quantities and handle shipping/customs. While big businesses have entire teams to work through these challenges, the smaller businesses get left behind.

In this episode, Kunle and Joseph talk about how small businesses can easily source products in smaller quantities from China. You will also get to hear about why Social Selling on Facebook Live could be the next big thing in eCommerce . This is a great episode for marketers and business owners.
