Retail team reviewing launch materials in a store setting

Launch process

A clear sequence from listing prep to the first ninety days on shelf—so modern trade doors open with stock, materials, and staff ready.

From brief to on-shelf rhythm

Each step can stand alone, or we run the full sequence for a single listing wave.

1

Channel & listing brief

Confirm target chains, SKU hierarchy, listing window, and who owns buyer versus distributor conversations.

2

Readiness pack

Assemble listing sheets, planogram notes, and merchandiser talking points before the buyer meeting.

3

Distributor alignment

Lock warehouse release, order windows, and account packs so stock and POS arrive on the same clock.

4

Launch week coverage

Visit priority doors, fix facings, brief staff, and escalate empty bays while the listing is still fresh.

5

First 90 days

Keep visibility alive with restock checks, micro-displays, and mid-cycle adjustments after launch week noise fades.

6

Wave review

Share what doors performed, which materials were ignored, and what the next listing wave should change.
