Scaling A Creative Product Business That Aligns with Your Vision & Life - A Maker Chat with Dianna Allen | Episode 60

In this episode of the Buyerside Chat Podcast, I sat down with Dianna Allen of Soleia Lane (formerly Terra) and Inventora to discuss how she scaled her candle business with just $100 to start and has since launched Inventora, an inventory and materials management system for makers. You’ll hear us chat about: - The power of creating a wholesale strategy that aligns with your vision for your business- Tips to find your sweet spot for trade show success- How to find creative outlets in your business without over-investing in inventory- The importance of managing your inventory and materials to scale your business profitablyAbout Dianna!Dianna Allen founded TERRA in 2019 with only $100 to start. She has since grown the brand into a 6-figure business utilizing social media, markets, and trade shows. Along the way, Dianna also built a spin-off company, Inventora, to provide a solution to her inventory management troubles as TERRA grew.NOTE: Since this episode was recorded, Terra was re-branded to Soleia Lane!
