Most guides are written by marketers or crowdfunding experts. Ours is built on 70+ years of combined experience actually placing products in major retailers like Ace Hardware, HSN, Williams-Sonoma, and Hammacher Schlemmer.
We share the real numbers, real timelines, and real mistakes we've seen (and helped fix) over decades in the industry — condensed into a 9-page format you can digest in one sitting.
The principles apply to all consumer product categories: kitchen appliances, home goods, tools, electronics, innovative gadgets, and more. If you're launching a physical product for retail, this 9-page guide is for you.
