Getting your product on retail shelves is only half the battle, the real challenge is staying there.
In this week’s episode of Innovator Insights, we sit down with Yohan Jacob, founder of Retailbound and former buyer for giants like OfficeMax and Sears. With over 30 years of experience on both sides of the desk, Johan shares hard-earned wisdom on what it really takes to succeed in retail, from pitch decks to pricing strategy to sell-through velocity.
We cover:
- The 3 reasons most brands fail in retail (and how to avoid them)
- Why “getting on the shelf” means nothing without a marketing plan
- The budget breakdown every brand should know before launching into retail
- How to pick the right retailers based on your category, price point, and brand DNA
