| Is Your Wholesale Business Actually Profitable? | Episode 118 | 19 Aug 2026 | 00:41:24 | |
You look really successful on the outside. Your bank account says something else. If revenue keeps climbing but profit feels like it's standing still, this episode is your next step. So many wholesale brands miscalculate their profitability, and it's not because you're bad at math. It's because most founders stop at product level margin instead of looking at the real cost of fulfilling every wholesale order. In this chat, I'm breaking down the full profitability formula, the three profitability traps I see over and over inside my client work, and exactly how to diagnose (and fix) a margin problem without panicking or slashing your prices overnight. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: - Why "my product margin is 80%" doesn't actually tell you if you're profitable - The full formula for calculating your real profit per wholesale order, not just gross margin - Every hidden cost quietly eating your margin that you're probably not tracking - The story behind my most profitable looking holiday season that almost broke me - The 3 profitability traps I see constantly with wholesale brands - Why your opening order minimum might be costing you money - How having too many SKUs hurts your bottom line, even when customers love the variety - The right way to think about raising your wholesale pricing without losing accounts - A simple framework for diagnosing exactly where your margin is leaking Enjoy the chat! Join me live on September 17, 2026 for the FREE Faire Success Blueprint Workshop (updated with brand new content for 2026), where I'm walking you through exactly how top performing brands set up their entire Faire presence, page, pricing, buyer outreach, and email automations, all on top of the profitability foundation from this episode.

| What Faire Summer Market 2026 Really Means For Your Q4 | Episode 117 | 05 Aug 2026 | 00:38:17 | |
Faire Summer Market wrapped a few weeks ago. I have some thoughts. I spent days during and after market scraping Reddit, Threads, Instagram, and Facebook groups, plus polling my own Back Pocket members, to find out what actually happened underneath the highlight reels. No matter what your market looked like, it doesn't decide whether you can run a successful wholesale business. In this episode, I'm digging into what happened at Faire Summer Market July 2026, the pattern I saw between brands who prepped early and brands who showed up last minute, and why repeat retailers carried more of this market than new ones. Then we get into the tactical tweaks retailers are talking about right now (your direct link, your photography, your email strategy) before closing with the mindset shift you need heading into Q4. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: - Why the brands that started prepping six to eight weeks out had noticeably different markets than the ones who showed up cold - The pattern behind this year's market: more repeat retailers, fewer new ones, and what that says about where buyers' heads are at right now - A stat from Faire's own Q2 2026 report that should give you confidence about independent retail (brick and mortar is actually outpacing online) - Why retailers are buying tighter, more often, and closer to their actual need, and what that means for how you pitch - The direct link mistake that's costing brands their margin, straight from what buyers are saying - Where AI generated photography is helping brands, and where it's costing them the sale - Why your Faire email campaigns are getting buried during market, and the automation fix that doesn't touch your weekly send limit - The mindset shift to make before Q4 so you stop tying your worth to your order count Enjoy the chat!

| Your Perfectionism Is Costing You | Episode 116 | 22 Jul 2026 | 00:24:15 | |
This one came out of putting my daughter down for her first nap of the day and realizing I'd been putting off recording this episode. Not because I didn't have anything to say. Because some part of me needed everything to look a certain way before I could say it. Five months into motherhood, I don't have that luxury anymore, and it tapped me into something I thought I'd already worked through. I always knew what perfectionism looked like at the big picture level: the polished business, the huge revenue number. What I missed was the smaller layer underneath, running my workflows, my content, my own business, without me even clocking it. This episode is about finding that layer in your business too. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Why perfectionism almost never shows up as just one layer - The sneaky way "I need the workflow figured out first" is actually perfectionism in disguise - How to catch the moment you've become the bottleneck in your own business - The "rising water level" metaphor for what scaling actually feels like - What "done is better than perfect" actually means (it does not mean rushed or sloppy) - How a season of life forces a new definition of "enough," and why that's not a bad thing - One question to ask about what you've been sitting on until it's "ready" - What the "high views, low orders" combo is really telling you about a product listing - How to pull your order summary and build a personalized VIP outreach list before market opens - The three retailer groups worth your attention right now and exactly how to reach each one - How to use AI to analyze your own Faire data and figure out the single biggest needle mover for your business GROW YOUR WHOLESALE BUSINESS: Retail Pitching👇 1) Get the Buyerside Pitch Kit to uplevel & simplify your wholesale pitching.

| What Your Faire Analytics Are Actually Telling You | Episode 115 | 08 Jul 2026 | 00:32:15 | |
Your Faire analytics are sitting right at your finger tips… and most brands are barely glancing at them before one of the biggest traffic windows of the year hits. This episode is your pre-market analytics audit. Not a data-nerd deep dive, not a spreadsheet lecture. Just four specific areas inside your Faire analytics dashboard that can tell you exactly where to focus your energy before the Faire Summer Market opens — and what to do about it. We're in the final stretch before market kicks off, and buyers are already building their carts. The question is whether your brand is ready for the traffic surge that's coming. I'm breaking down four analytics you already have access to right now, what each one is telling you, and the single action to take with each one so you go into market week with intention instead of guesswork. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - What buyers are actually doing on Faire in the two weeks before market opens - Why retailers can save and favorite your products without you ever knowing — and what you CAN see instead - The #1 sign your Faire page has a discoverability problem and how to fix it before market traffic spikes - How to use your product-level analytics to lead with your proven performers (not just your personal favorites) - The stat directly from Faire on how much adding new products boosts your ranking — and why you need to pump the brakes on that advice - Why a low conversion rate right now becomes a much bigger problem during market week - What the "high views, low orders" combo is really telling you about a product listing - How to pull your order summary and build a personalized VIP outreach list before market opens - The three retailer groups worth your attention right now and exactly how to reach each one - How to use AI to analyze your own Faire data and figure out the single biggest needle mover for your business RESOURCES MENTIONED - Read the full blog article on The Buyerside Blog HERE - Episode 114 | Faire Buyer Archetypes: Listen on Apple | Listen on Spotify - Episode 113 | Faire Email Automations: Listen on Apple | Listen on Spotify - Faire Market Prep Planner (Free resource!): HERE GROW YOUR WHOLESALE BUSINESS: Retail Pitching👇 1) Get the Buyerside Pitch Kit to uplevel & simplify your wholesale pitching.

| 4 Wholesale Buyer Types (& How to Win Each One) | Episode 114 | 22 Jun 2026 | 00:31:34 | |
If your wholesale strategy revolves around one type of buyer, you're leaving real money on the table. And the frustrating part? You probably don't even know it. Most brand founders are pitching, optimizing, and pricing for one buyer in their head… usually the independent boutique owner. But there are four distinct buyer archetypes showing up on across the wholesale landscape, and each one buys completely differently. In this episode, I'm breaking down a framework I use to look at the entire wholesale buyer landscape — not just Faire, but your entire wholesale strategy. I'm walking you through four buyer archetypes and covering their psychology, buying behavior, what they need from you, and how to speak to each one. Whether you're optimizing your Faire page, writing pitch emails, or setting your minimums, this framework will completely change how you think about your strategy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Why picturing only one type of buyer is costing you accounts and reorders you don't even know you're missing - The two axes that define every wholesale buyer — and why understanding both changes everything - What a Discovery Buyer needs to feel safe enough to place their first order with you (hint: it's not just low minimums) - Why the Curating Buyer is probably who you've been pitching all along — and what actually makes them come back - The surprising buyer type that reorders constantly, requires almost zero ongoing effort, and most brands completely ignore - What an Account Buyer is looking for that has nothing to do with your product — and why you'll lose them before the conversation even starts if you miss it - What Faire's new "business use" buyer category and Faire Plus pilot program mean for your wholesale opportunity right now - How to audit your own Faire page and pitch strategy to see which archetypes you're actually speaking to — versus which ones you're accidentally turning away RESOURCES MENTIONED >Unlocking Faire Private Podcast: https://kristinfishercoaching.com/unlockingfaire >Buyerside Pitch Kit: https://kristinfishercoaching.com/pitchkit GROW YOUR WHOLESALE BUSINESS: Retail Pitching👇 1) Get the Buyerside Pitch Kit to uplevel & simplify your wholesale pitching.

| How to Use Faire Email Automations to Grow Wholesale Sales | Episode 113 | 08 Jun 2026 | 00:43:01 | |
There's a marketing feature sitting inside your Faire portal right now that most brands have never touched. It doesn't count against your campaign limits. And it can reach retailers who have already opted out of your regular marketing emails. This episode is your sign to go turn it on. In this episode, I'm breaking down Faire email automations — a feature that rolled out to all brands in early 2026 and has the potential to do a serious amount of heavy lifting for you heading into Faire Market Week. I cover what they are, where to find them, and the four I'd prioritize before market opens. Plus, I'm sharing something I learned directly from my Q2 call with the Faire team that most brands don't know about. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: - What Faire email automations are and exactly where to find them in your portal - Why these automations are completely separate from your campaign send limits (yes, really) - The surprising fact about retailers who've opted out of brand marketing emails — and how automations change the game for you - The 4 automations to prioritize before Summer Market opens - Why automated emails convert at a dramatically higher rate than broadcast campaigns - How to write your automation copy so it actually sounds like you and converts RESOURCES MENTIONED: > Watch the free Faire Success Blueprint Workshop: kristinfishercoaching.com/faireblueprint (or DM me "BLUEPRINT" and I'll send the link straight to you) > Grab the free Market Prep Planner: kristinfishercoaching.com/marketplanner > Join the Faire Bootcamp: kristinfishercoaching.com/fairebootcamp | DM “BOOTCAMP” on Instagram > Listen to Episode 90 for your 3-step summer market framework: Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/replay-one-thing-you-should-focus-on-now-to-prep-for/id1648564568?i=1000714152265 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2IHKztFhLtxK6J0AcCE9ud?si=1mIM84HwTCW3rvUmj2Qs6Q GROW YOUR WHOLESALE BUSINESS: Retail Pitching👇 1) Get the Buyerside Pitch Kit to uplevel & simplify your wholesale pitching.

| The Real Reason Great Product Brands Plateau | Episode 112 | 25 May 2026 | 00:51:08 | |
You already have the strategy. So why aren't you using it? That list on your phone, in your Notion, in your notebook -- it's full of things you know you need to do. You've paid for the courses. You've downloaded the freebies. You've listened to the podcasts. And yet, here you are, still not doing the thing. This episode is for you. This is my first episode back from maternity leave after welcoming my daughter Avery, and honestly? Coming back into this work has given me so many unlocks. This episode is one of them. We're not talking about more strategy today. We're talking about why you already have what you need but you're still not moving forward -- and what's actually keeping you stuck. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR: - Why the "learning loop" is actually a sophisticated form of procrastination (and how to spot it in yourself) - The real reason you keep buying courses and never finishing (or implementing) them - How your subconscious brain is running a protection program that keeps you exactly where you are - The difference between a strategy gap and a belief gap - and why only one can be solved with information - A client story that will feel uncomfortably familiar if you've been spinning in overwhelm for months - Three questions to ask yourself right now that will reveal what you're truly avoiding - What "safety" actually looks like in your subconscious - money stories, success fear, time stories, and more - Why subconscious reprogramming (not another course) is what actually breaks the cycle - What Rewired Retail is and how it combines advanced wholesale strategy with subconscious mindset work RESOURCES MENTIONED: - Buyerside Pitch Kit: Your entire wholesale pitch strategy for every type of retailer in one spot. Created for you by a buyer so you know exactly what to say (and when) to convert your pitches.

| Is Your Product Biz Running The Show? Take Your Power Back. | Episode 110 | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:37:17 | |
Your Business Is Not the Boss of You (But It Might Be Acting Like It) Have you ever looked up and realized, “Wait... how the hell did my business start running me?” This episode is for you if your business was supposed to give you freedom… but now feels like it owns you. We’re chatting about what’s really going on when you’re grinding without growing, and why mindset work(the subconscious kind) might just be the missing piece. This is my first solo episode back post-maternity leave, and it’s a vulnerable one. I’m sharing how my own business once left me feeling burnt out and working around the clock no matter what I did, how I rewired those beliefs, and how you can do the same to reclaim your role as the actual leader of your product based business. Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

She's not only grown her own product-based business, but now also teaches artists how to confidently source products, work with factories, and scale without burnout. This conversation is filled with gold. From starting scrappy with just three SKUs of washi tape, to now launching new product categories and a game-changing app. Kristin and Rebecca talk candidly about navigating the not-so-linear journey of product-based entrepreneurship, manufacturing both domestically and overseas, building resilience, and staying creative while growing a business. In this episode, we cover:
Whether you're brand new or 10+ years into your product business, this conversation is a reminder that your journey doesn’t have to be linear - and magic can happen when you just start.

| [REPLAY] How to Edit Your Line Like a Retail Buyer | Episode 107 | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:33:19 | |
An absolute must-listen if you’re serious about scaling your product business profitably. While I’m on maternity leave, I’m re-airing some of the most impactful Buyerside Chat episodes, and this one dives into one of the most important (and hardest) skills you’ll ever learn as a product-based business owner: the ability to edit your product line without emotion. When your business is small, creativity leads the way, and that’s a beautiful thing. But when you’re growing, scaling, and reinvesting back into inventory, emotion can quietly become one of your biggest profit killers. In this episode, I’m breaking down how buyers actually think when they evaluate assortments, and how you can start making decisions like a CEO instead of an artist, creator, maker or new boutique owner who’s emotionally attached to every product. We talk about why having too many SKUs hurts conversion, how to identify what’s driving the majority of your revenue, and how editing your collection can instantly improve cash flow, margins, and clarity - for both you and your customers. If you’ve ever:
This episode will give you the framework and the confidence that you need to edit with intention.

| [REPLAY] Fine-Tuning Your Collections: What (& When) to Launch | Episode 106 | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:32:44 | |
I'm currently soaking up newborn snuggles during my maternity leave, so over the next few weeks I’m re-airing a few of my most downloaded and requested episodes of all time. This episode originally aired on February 17, 2025 - but it’s still full of relevant strategy! If your brain is buzzing with product ideas (and your calendar is packed with launch dates)… but you're not sure how much newness your brand really needs or how often you should be dropping collections—this episode is for you. We’re chatting about what buyers actually want to see from your product assortment, how to stop overwhelming your customers and yourself, and how to bring in just the right amount of newness to stay relevant without staying stuck on the launch hamster wheel. Here’s the deal: more products ≠ more profit. And in this episode, I’m giving you the exact questions to ask yourself to sharpen your strategy, clean up your assortment, and fine-tune your collection calendar in a way that makes sense for your brand. Whether you're planning your next product drop or rethinking your whole line, this episode will help you zoom out and make strategic decisions like a buyer—not just a creator.

| The 4 Biggest Wholesale Pitching Mistakes (& How to Fix Them) | Episode 104 | 05 Jan 2026 | 00:26:22 | |
This Might Be Why Your Wholesale Pitches Aren’t Converting… Wholesale pitching: you either feel on fire or totally frazzled. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the most common wholesale pitching mistakes I’ve seen from both sides of the buyer table—and exactly how to fix them. With nearly 20 years as a corporate retail buyer and running my own product-based business, I’ve seen thousands (yes, thousands!) of pitches—and I can tell you, most of them are missing the mark. From copy-paste templates to long-winded origin stories, there’s a lot that’s holding your emails back from actually converting. In today’s chat, I’m sharing:
Let’s make your pitching process faster, better, and way more effective. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

You’re probably somewhere between deep rest mode and itching to crack open your laptop. You want to plan your 2026, but also? You’re fried. Let’s fix that. In this short and sweet solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I approach sustainable, aligned strategic planning—especially during this weird in-between week when the year is technically over but your brain is still buzzing.

This one’s for you if you’re ready to let go of pressure-filled plans that make you feel like a failure by February and actually build a business plan that supports the life you want. Let’s dive in.

Whether you're in a season of quicksand or craving that early-days energy again, this episode will help you reconnect with the CEO version of you that your business needs. What you’ll hear:

| From Burnout to Alignment: My Year of Growth (& a big secret!) | Episode 97 | 29 Sep 2025 | 00:42:28 | |
It’s been one full year since I made the scary, bold, and totally aligned decision to close Bocu (my gift box business) and go all in on Kristin Fisher Coaching. In today’s episode, I’m getting VERY vulnerable on what the real transformation looked like after that decision... the personal and professional shifts, the mindset work, and the big, full-circle moment I’ve been holding close - until now. This is not an episode about “burn it all down.” It’s about what can happen when you stop overthinking, move through fear, simplify with intention, and lean into self-trust. I’m sharing the messy middle, the lessons I didn’t expect, and the surprising outcome of letting go - even when something was still “working.” If you’re standing at a crossroads in your business or life, or just craving permission to do things differently, then this one’s for you. What you’ll learn in this episode:

| The Hidden Risks Hurting Your Product Biz | Episode 96 | 15 Sep 2025 | 00:40:10 | |
One missed forecast. One overstocked SKU. One supplier delay. How much risk is really accounted for in your retail business strategy? In this episode of The Buyerside Chat, we’re chatting about how to mitigate risk in your product-based business. Whether you’re focused on DTC, wholesale, or a mix of both, the reality is: things still feel shaky right now. Costs are creeping up, tariffs are shifting, and consumer (and retailer) spending is cautious. And while you can’t control the economy, you can take a page from the corporate retail playbook to protect your biz (and your profits) from outside chaos. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how retail buyers manage risk, what to actually look at when making strategic calls in your business, and how to avoid being the brand with a warehouse full of inventory and zero cash to show for it. What you’ll hear:
Mentioned in this chat: This is not your average workshop. You’ll get my personal planning spreadsheet (used with 1:1 clients + in my own product biz) and step-by-step videos to walk you through goal setting, inventory planning, and profitability forecasting.

| From Capital Murder to Custom Rhinestone Suits: A Chat with Miranda Deaton of Velvet Outlaw | Episode 94 | 18 Aug 2025 | 00:39:49 | |
A refreshingly honest conversation about following your gut instincts to build a brand you love with Miranda Deaton - founder of Velvet Outlaw and Velvet Out Paws. Miranda’s journey is as unexpected as it gets: she went from working on capital murder cases to building a thriving slow fashion brand full of rhinestones, fringe, and unapologetic self-expression. We dive into what burnout really looks like, the rollercoaster of building a brand that actually feels aligned, and what happens when you chase success… and end up somewhere you didn’t want to be. This is a must-listen for any business owner who’s ever felt overwhelmed, creatively off-track, or unsure whether to keep pushing or pivot. Miranda shares her own messy, magical middle and the mindset shifts that helped her realign with her purpose, get back to her creative roots, and rebuild a business that actually feels good. What You’ll Hear:
ABOUT VELVET OUTLAW: Velvet Outlaw is a queer owned brand focused on sustainability and fringe! They upcycle clothing and rework each piece by adding chain stitching, fringe and/or rhinestones.

| Overcoming Fear of Success: Why You Might Be Holding Back | Episode 93 | 04 Aug 2025 | 00:28:30 | |
What if I told you aren’t feeling stuck because you don’t know what to do - you’re stuck because you’re likely scared of what happens when it actually works? In this episode, we’re chatting about the role that we play in the success of our business - not as a guilt trip and not as pressure to “do more”, but as the mindset that wakes you up and reminds you that you hold the reins over your business results. We dive deep into why success feels risky - more hustle, more visibility, more vulnerability - and why, sometimes, your greatest sabotage is your own fear of what you could become. But what if you leaned in instead of backing off? Today, we’re exploring the mindset shift that changes everything: - Taking radical responsibility without shame - Spotting subconscious fear of success sabotaging your goals - Why stepping up your game isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it - Real strategies to face what you're avoiding, without burning out Pull up a chair, let’s unpack this together.

| The Mindset Shift To Redefine Success (for YOU) | Episode 92 | 21 Jul 2025 | 00:37:36 | |
Feel like you’re deep in the mid-year haze, wondering what happened to all that clarity you had back in January? This episode is your permission slip to hit pause, take stock, and redefine what success actually looks like for you right now. In this solo episode, we’re chatting about why the halfway point of the year can feel so disorienting, and how to use it to your advantage. This is not about reviving those dusty goals you set in January. It’s about checking in, being honest with yourself, and making sure the goals you're chasing still actually feel right. We’re walking through reflective prompts, redefining success (your version, not your competitors’), and realigning your business so it supports your life - not the other way around. Your goals are allowed to evolve. And when you get clear on what matters most right now, you give yourself the freedom to finish the year feeling aligned, focused, and fulfilled. Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: - Why “goal haze” happens mid-year and how to break through it - How to redefine success based on your current season - not past expectations - The difference between chasing shiny objects vs. following your intuition - Journal prompts to reset your focus and get real about what’s working (and what’s not) - How to set aligned, achievable goals for the rest of the year - The importance of leaving space for the unexpected (hello dream opportunities!)

| Leveraging YouTube to Grow Your E-commerce Brand | Episode 91 | 07 Jul 2025 | 00:42:25 | |
YouTube feels...intimidating, right? It’s long-form. It’s searchable. And it’s one more platform to think about. But what if YouTube could actually simplify your content strategy—and do the heavy lifting for your product-based business? This week, I’m joined by YouTube educator and marketing strategist Stephanie Kase. We’re pulling back the curtain on how to use YouTube (yes, even if you sell physical products) to grow your brand and attract customers without constantly churning out content. Stephanie shares how product-based founders can create personal brands that amplify their products, plus how to structure videos so they work hard for you—long after they’re posted. And spoiler: this isn’t about being a “YouTuber”. It’s about building strategic, evergreen content that drives long-term growth.
ABOUT STEPHANIE: Stephanie Kase is an online marketing coach and content creator. She teaches ambitious female entrepreneurs and brands how to gain visibility online with content marketing that actually converts, so they have the freedom to build their dream life. She has served over 5,000 online students through her online courses, programs, and digital products and reached millions with her content online.

| Wholesale MOQ Red Flags That Are Costing You | 31 Mar 2025 | 00:31:32 | |
Are your Wholesale MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities) secretly sabotaging your sales? If you've been keeping your MOQs super low, hoping it will attract more buyers… it might actually be turning them away. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most common (and costly) mistakes I see product brands making on Faire and in wholesale: setting their opening order minimums too low. I get it—you want to make it easy for retailers to buy from you. But the reality? A low MOQ can actually hurt your brand’s credibility, reduce your profitability, and make buyers hesitate before placing an order. In this chat, we’re diving into: - The biggest mistakes brands make when setting their MOQs (and why they’re costing you money) - How wholesale buyers really think about minimum order requirements - The psychology behind pricing and perceived value in retail - Why a higher MOQ actually attracts better wholesale buyers - The right way to set both your opening order and reorder minimums for maximum profit - How to confidently increase your MOQs without scaring buyers away If you’ve been playing small with your wholesale strategy, consider this your permission slip to level up and charge what your brand is worth.
