From Clicks to Bricks: Expanding Your Reselling Business Beyond Online

Join us for an insightful session with Chris Naidus of Great Lakes Secondhand as he shares how to successfully expand your reselling business beyond online platforms and into physical sales channels.

Many sellers rely heavily on platforms like eBay and Whatnot—but what happens when algorithms shift or shipping costs cut into profits? Chris will walk us through how diversifying into pop-ups, markets, and booth spaces can create new opportunities and more stability.

In this presentation, you’ll learn:

• Why diversification matters and how to reduce platform risk

• How to use your online sales data to guide in-person inventory decisions

• What to expect when starting with pop-ups and local markets

• How to evaluate and choose the right booth or antique mall space

• Real-world insights on rent vs. commission, setup, and logistics

• The importance of ongoing booth maintenance and restocking

• Smart inventory strategies to keep products moving and profitable

Chris will also share practical tips on booth setup, customer engagement, selling “unshippable” items, and using simple tech tools to manage your space—even when you’re not there.

Whether you’re just curious or ready to expand, this session will give you a realistic roadmap to take your reselling business from clicks to bricks.
