Plan the assortment
Build the range around what you expect to sell or use repeatedly.
Start with current or high-priority products. Add new colours and effects through a smaller trial so slower range extensions do not carry the same inventory commitment as your core SKUs.

Two ways to begin
Validate a few priority SKUs or test a mixed assortment.
Use the selected-SKU route to compare supply for products you already reorder. Use the mixed-SKU route when you need to decide which products deserve a place in the range.
ROUTE A
Selected repeat SKUs
Best when you want to compare a second source or improve continuity for a few frequently reordered products.
- Share the product or current reference.
- Tell us how your team will test it.
- Compare the sample before discussing a larger order.
ROUTE B
Mixed-SKU trial
Best when you want to evaluate a small range of materials, colours or effects before choosing the longer-term assortment.
- List the products and colours you want to try.
- Mark likely core SKUs and exploratory options.
- Share the quantity, packaging and destination.
Plan repeat supply
Separate fast movers, slower products and new trials.
Use your sales or usage pattern to decide which products need regular replenishment and which should stay in smaller, less frequent orders.
