Helping Women-Owned Businesses Thrive in Big Retail

Women-owned businesses are behind some of the most innovative, game-changing consumer products on the market, driving industry trends and reinventing product categories. But the path from product development to retail success can be a daunting one, particularly for women entrepreneurs who are much less likely to receive start-up capital to fund their business.

WBENC has teamed up with Title Sponsor: Target Corporation, and Program Sponsors: Dick’s Sporting Goods, The Home Depot, Macy’s, Inc., and Tractor Supply Co. to demystify the process with Women Owned in Retail, a program designed to help women-owned business with consumer goods scale and thrive in the retail space.

This program is open to ALL women-owned businesses with consumer products. You do not need to be certified by WBENC to attend Women Owned in Retail events.

  • Understand the role of supplier diversity in the buying process.
  • Learn about the vendor journey from other women-owned brands currently in stores.

WBENC is by far one of the best communities I have joined in a long time. We were fortunate enough to participate as a featured educator for their Women Owned in Retail event in 2021, and we closed two important sales within a week of the event – all because we were certified through the network. Their team is wonderful, and we look forward to collaborating on many more programs in 2022 and beyond!
