Start-ups

You may have started the production of your new food product, but how prepared are you for a meeting with retail buyers, and have you explored how to become an established food brand?

As a small business we can help you identify key areas buyers will question, and ensure you’re prepared to meet with key retailers to launch your food product.

Emerging + Established

Whether you’re looking to secure a position in the largest supermarket retailers, or grow your current product offering, our knowledge and guidance can take you to the next level in your food business.

You might be thinking

  • How do I launch my food product into retail stores?
  • My food product failed but I don’t know why?
  • How do I test the market for my new food product?
  • What do I need to do to appeal to supermarket buyers?

How we help

Launching a food product into supermarkets and retailers isn’t an easy task, with 76% of food products failing to launch each year with a large percentage of these failing due to oversight on the fundamentals. That is why we developed our 3 stage approach:

Discovery

We start by getting to know your food product and the vision you have for your launch.
During this stage we want to know who your key audience are, and where you see yourself fitting into the food market.

Strategy

Once we understand your food product and the vision of your brand we will create a strategy with you to guide you to the best possible chance of a successful launch. This will be your roadmap and provide you with a clear journey for your product.

Implementation

We won’t just leave you to gain momentum. With our experience, knowledge and connections we support you in taking the actions required to meet with supermarket retailers and ensure your product appeals to the buyers responsible for filling the shelves.
