Give every collection a distinct purpose
A starting point might be a core routine, a teaching kit or a broader professional assortment. These are planning options, not claims about market demand. Write one sentence describing the role of each collection, then check that its functions, imagery and packaging support that role. If the distinction is difficult to explain, consider reducing the number of options.
- Name the user, use case and main difference for each collection.
Control unnecessary complexity
An additional colour, pack or arrangement may need its own reference, artwork and review. Build a table showing shared and different details, separating a functional change from a purely visual one. Assign clear product references so versions do not become confused during sampling or reordering, and keep a distinct approval decision for each change that matters.
- Use consistent names and version numbers across documents.
Connect the plan to quantities and validation
The project minimum is 1,000 sets, but allocation between collections or colours needs confirmation in the proposal. Before expanding the range, evaluate samples with the intended users and ask what genuinely differs in use. Keep purchasing feedback, sample feedback and actual orders separate. Interest in an image or a link click is not evidence of an executable purchase requirement.
