What We're Looking For

Product Clarity

Your product should be understood in 30 seconds or less. It should have a clear use case and strong gift potential.

Packaging

Packaging should be clean, professional, and self-explanatory. Customers should understand the product without assistance.

Pricing

Your pricing must support retail margins:

• Wholesale should be approximately 50% of retail
• Pricing must include labor, materials, packaging, and profit

Production

You must be able to:

• Produce consistently
• Restock quickly if the product sells out

Differentiation

Your product should clearly stand out in a crowded market. You should be able to explain why a customer would choose your product over others.

Retail Performance

This is not about exposure. Every product must be able to sell and turn inventory.
