Winning Product Line Reviews

Schedule a Consultation

A product line review (PLR) can make or break your business. Underwhelm your merchant, and you stand to lose more than shelf space: your brand’s credibility and future opportunities are on the line.

Impress your buyer with a presentation filled with research-based insights and mutually beneficial strategies, and you can lay the foundation for a long-term (and profitable) partnership with your retailer.

The Sales Factory approach

Our proven seven-step process has built countless home retail businesses into high-velocity category disruptors.

1. Model the market.

During the product line review process, your buyer will expect you to be prepared with detailed data about your market size and share of your category in a competitive landscape. Modeling the market requires aggregating and analyzing many data inputs, including those from POS, industry reports, macro trends, digital data scrapes and more. The more robust your model, the more likely they are to trust your recommendations.

2. Know the end user.

The better you know your end user, the better you can meet their needs as well as your merchant’s. We go beyond demographic information to understand the attitudes, values and behaviors of your target audiences.

3. Solve your end user’s problems.

What are your end users’ unmet needs, and how can you meet them? We take what we know about the end user, and use it to understand how they relate to your category and your brand.

5. Build a program and bring it to life.

Think beyond your PLR and present an agile activation strategy that focuses on sales. We turn research and strategy into a plan of action that’s mutually beneficial to your brand and the buyer.

6. Make it meaningful and memorable.

A dense PowerPoint full of bland facts and figures won’t make an impression on your buyer. We break the boredom barrier by crafting a high-impact, story-based presentation that will set you apart from your competitors in your merchant’s memory.
