Episode 188 Overview
In this episode, I will review warm weather shipping tips, tricks, and techniques. It’s barely mid-March and we are expecting temps near 100F (~38C) here in some parts of Arizona in the next week. Too hot for chocolate?
I will also talk about products from a company new to me that could help your products survive being displayed if you sell at outdoor markets.
