Brand Management
We help you navigate the operational management of maintaining, improving, and upholding your brand so that the name is associated with positive results. Included is the day-to-day management of liaising with buyers and assisting with the implementation of marketing initiatives to plan, develop and direct the marketing mix and social media campaign.
Quality Assurance & Regulatory
We develop operational controls to ensure that the actual results match the product specifications. Included in this process is the product safety and claims testing, confirming the product complies with all local and national regulations, and suppliers are audited to validate that they meet requirements for industry standards.
Market Analysis
We will perform an analysis to determine the factors, conditions, and characteristics of the specific market dynamics your product falls under. This will help to plan on how the brand will be perceived and look. Given this information we will suggest product type, size, packaging, and price based on current market conditions and trends.
Product Development
We work closely with research and development experts at both contract manufacturers and independent labs to incorporate the best botanicals and newest marketing ingredients into your formulation. Product performance and presentation is reviewed and tested until it's just right, while remaining within the needed cost of goods. We also coordinate the raw materials and fragrance development to create your perfect product.
Sourcing & Purchasing
We source suppliers for both goods and services tailored for your product needs, based on our approved vendor base. We find, evaluate, vet, and engage primary and secondary vendors after issuing Request for Quotes, which include the product or service specifications, evaluation criteria, pricing structure, delivery and service requirements, and financial terms and conditions.
Logistics & Fulfillment
We manage the catalog assortment of products, and coordinate timely execution of product launches into distribution centers, your warehouse, or the end customer. Included in back-end operations are the management of storage, fulfillment, and customer service.
