Workshop: Getting Your Product 'Retail Ready'

This practical workshop is designed to help our members understand what it really takes to secure a retail listing - and leave with the tools and confidence to pitch for one. This is a group workshop designed for dissecting your proposition by our expert Becky, and allow for peer sharing.

Across the session, you will pressure-test your product against real buyer expectations, build a realistic pricing model, and sharpen how you tell your brand story. You will also dig into the practicalities that trip founders up most - from packaging performance and shelf positioning to operational readiness and compliance. Whether you are early in your retail journey or preparing to pitch imminently, this session will give you an honest, grounded view of what buyers are really looking for.

By the end, you will have a clearer picture of why buyers say yes or no, a stronger and more retail-ready proposition, and a defined set of actions to take away.

The session will cover:

• How retail buyers make decisions
• Price architecture and margin expectations
• Competitor analysis and shelf positioning
• Packaging through the lens of retail performance
• Buyer hooks and retail storytelling
• Thinking beyond a single SKU
• Operational realities
• Technical and compliance considerations
