Course Description

Presented by: Woodworking Network

Join Michaelle Bradford, editor of Closets & Organized Storage magazine, and Eric Marshall, co-founder of The Closet Training Institute, for an interactive Q&A exploring how woodworkers, designers, and entrepreneurs can successfully capitalize on the booming custom organization market. This session breaks down the critical decisions every newcomer faces from evaluating the financial realities of “make vs. buy” manufacturing and navigating wholesale partnerships to mastering closet sales. Attendees will walk away with actionable insights on essential software tools, material standards (including the 32mm system), emerging technology trends, and the single most vital strategy for ensuring long-term profitability when entering the custom closet space.
