A branded bottle is the most-carried thing most gyms and brands ever produce. It is also the easiest to let drift out of spec.

Hold the colour on file

Colourway, cap, mechanism and print method, recorded against the account.

A batch a shade off is visible to everyone holding the old one.

Batch drops to real membership

Welcome bottles, challenge editions, anniversary colourways.

Scarcity that excludes your own regulars is bad planning wearing marketing’s jacket.

Plan January in October

The New Year wave is the most predictable event in this category.

It is also the one most often met with an empty shelf.

Pack for the channel

Bundle-ready packing so the pick line never marries two products by hand.

For launches, ship stack bottles pre-loaded with a sample serving.

Keep one file behind every channel

Wholesale, e-commerce and the gym floor should ship the same bottle.

That consistency is the entire point of having a brand.
