Phase 1 - Research
The first phase revolves around category research, pricing research, competitive analysis and market research.
This phase exposes the current climate of the industry pertaining to each specific product.
If the executive team recognizes a beneficial opportunity, they will then move in to phase 2 of the evaluation.
Phase 2 - Packaging
Phase 2 dives into the regulatory and bilingual packaging requirements for the current Canadian market.
By ensuring that your product packaging is compliant, we are able to prepare your products for importing and national distribution.
As health and environmental concerns have caused packaging and labelling regulations to tighten up over the past few years, our in-house professionals will always make sure that your products are up-to-speed.
