Specialists are brought in only when you choose the Retail Executive.
A specialist reviews your product from a category and shopper perspective: differentiation, competitor and category positioning, shelf and merchandising considerations, shopper appeal and ways to improve your competitiveness.
A marketing professional reviews your launch strategy: brand positioning, target consumer, consumer awareness, marketing and promotional recommendations and launch activation planning.
The specialist findings feed into your final review and recommendations, alongside the commercial work, so you know exactly what to address before you pursue retail distribution.
Both packages are defined projects with a clear start, set deliverables and an end.
We start with an assessment of your business, product and retail ambitions.
Personalised retail commercial training, your costing model and your retailer listing presentation.
A one-hour session with a retail buyer for feedback, then a final review and recommendations.
Not included: unlimited calls, ongoing mentoring and buyer introductions. Timing depends on how quickly you can supply information.
The Masterclass teaches you how South African retail works, in a live group session. This is the next step: the work itself, done on your own business. We build your costing and pricing, develop your retailer listing presentation and put your product in front of a retail buyer. The Masterclass gives you the knowledge. This is where you turn it into a listing-ready business.
The Retail Accelerator suits businesses that need to understand the commercial requirements and prepare their retailer presentation. The Retail Executive adds specialist category and marketing input, for businesses that also need to understand how their product will compete once it reaches the shelf.
About 2–3 weeks for the Retail Accelerator and 3–4 weeks for the Retail Executive, depending on how quickly you can supply information.
