Launch playbook · 12 weeks

Make everyday
a little brighter.

A considered first drop. Product in hands, a clear place on the shelf, and a plan for the next release.

RIND amber-orange pump body wash in a citrus-inspired scene

Start with the daily shower.

One simple invitation
“A brighter kind of everyday.” Lead with the 300mL body wash, then let Citrus, Leaf and Unscented make the choice personal.
One clear offer
$24 for one. $44 for a duo. Keep that same offer on the product page, insert and retail line sheet. No launch-only discount to untangle.
Start with a bottle, then a second visit
Begin with a small, opt-in sampling release. Review scent requests, product questions and stock together before widening distribution. Release quantity is a planning decision, never a sales claim.

Put the bottle
in their hands.

Use sealed, approved 300mL bottles for the first sampling release. No decanting. Confirm available stock in the planner before reserving units.

Editable planning allocation, not units sent. Split scents after preferences are confirmed. No recipient details are stored here.
