marketing market size go-to-market strategy packaging and labeling new product development commercializationWe want to expand our product offering with a new line: <describe the new product being offered>. We need insights to help anticipate the ramp-up to commercialization and the best approach to go to market successfully with our new product. Initial questions to brainstorm include, but are not limited to:
1. Where in the world is the best place to launch for early success? Should we just default to launching where we live? What is the total market size for this opportunity?
2. With whom should we partner on manufacturing, kitting, packaging, warehousing, and fulfillment? How complex is that and how much will it cost, realistically?
3. Who are our closest competitors and how do we differentiate ourselves?
4. How do we establish our brand: Build awareness, acquire customers, and defend any early success?
We are looking to gain alternative perspectives on potential marketing tactics and better understand the current competitive market.
I am available for remote discussions most hours of the day and can be flexible; I will also offer up my management team at the store during operation hours if any requests required
I personally have extensive experience in finance and accounting so I can offer some deep mentorship to students on that aspect of the project
