Product Information Podcasts for Retailers


Jeff Morrow & Dave Lee from Art Supply Insiders would like to share ideas with you on product training for your staff so you can do employee product training “on demand.” Avoid having to wait for the manufacturer to provide in-person training.

  • You can:  Train new employees on product specifics.  Give existing employees a tool to brush up on product knowledge.
  • Receive real-time updates on new art and craft products and product extensions from your existing suppliers.
  • Find new products to compliment your existing product selection
  • Clarify business and industry trends that owners might not have quick access to.
  • Tell us what manufacturers you would like Art Supply Insiders to interview. We would really love to hear your feedback!
