Tamebay Live Virtual Summit
Gembah’s Steven Blustein spoke at the Tamebay Virtual Summit with the Session: “Grow your e-commerce store to a multichannel business”.
About the Event
From increased product visibility and brand awareness to diversification, experienced sellers understand that having products for sale on multiple marketplaces and channels is the best way to get their listings in front of the largest possible audience and more potential customers.

Steven Blustein, founder of Pride Bites and Gembah, discusses how he expanded his reach in the market from DTC to wholesale. Eric Finkelman, CEO and Owner of Cali Weights, highlights his journey and how he was able to get Indiegogo funding and expand from Amazon to multiple businesses in the B2B space.
