STAGE 1
Making your product ready for distribution involves several steps, developing and testing the product to ensure it meets safety and performance standards, implementing a quality assurance program, packaging and labelling the product in compliance with industry standards, ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, and preparing for distribution through the appropriate channels. It is important to note that the specific steps required to launch a product will depend on the product and the market it is intended for.
Getting a product ready for channel distribution involves several steps, including:
- Product development and testing: The product should meet all relevant safety and performance standards and that it is fit for its intended use.
- Quality assurance: A quality assurance program should be in place to ensure that the product is manufactured consistently and to a high standard.
- Packaging and labelling: The product should be packaged and labelled in a way that is consistent with industry standards and that clearly communicates important information.
- Compliance: The product should comply with all relevant laws, regulations and standards, including those related to product safety and labelling.
- After-sales service: A plan should be in place to provide after-sales service and support to customers. Including a warranty program and return policy.
