Ass ociations
Search for associations affiliated with your product category.
Go to their website(s) and learn about what resources each one
provides. Keep a database for reference when you need advice for
networking, referrals, or regulations that govern the industry.
Touch base with one or two organizations via phone and see how
they can help you learn about your new industry and become
affiliated with it. Sometimes a call to an association is better
than an e-mail; the staff is usually friendly and happy to help.
Sign up for newsletters and read blogs so you will be abreast of
happenings within your industry.
