The 10-Step Launch Blueprint
Niche & Price Point — pick 2–3 sub-niches with clear search demand and retail price bands.
Product Shortlist (6–10 SKUs) — target best margin/weight/fragility mix.
Supplier Vetting (3–5 options/sku) — quotes, MOQs, lead times, past performance.
Samples & Golden Sample — materials, stitching/finish checks, packaging proof.
Branding & Labels — pack artwork, GS1/UPC/EAN, FNSKU, Legal Metrology/CE/UKCA (as needed).
Store & Listings — PDPs, variation sets, shipping profiles, COD rules (India).
Prep & Compliance — kitting, barcodes, carton labels, AQL plan, PSI before dispatch.
DDP/DAP Logistics — direct to customer or to FC/3PL with correct paperwork.
Go-Live & Ad Basics — launch bundle, retargeting, UGC/creator seeding.
Scale & Reorder — VC (vendor scorecards), cost-down, review velocity, new SKUs.
Simple Landed Formula:
DDP Landed/Unit = Ex-Factory + Packaging + QC + Prep + Freight + Duties/Taxes + Last-mile + ZJELL Fee
Recommended Starter Niches (examples)
Home & Kitchen Soft Goods (textiles/organizers) — light, low breakage, repeat buys.
Athleisure & Basics — size grids, lean MOQs, evergreen demand.
Pet Accessories — strong UGC potential, giftable.
Tools/DIY Light — value perception, add-on bundles.
