Distribution Framework

Area
Weak Distribution Pattern
Strong Distribution Pattern
Product Selection
Choosing scents because the bottle, packaging, or scent impression feels attractive.
Reviewing scent category, consumer demand, price tier, retail fit, packaging strength, and repeat-purchase potential.
Channel Route
Selling through any available retailer, reseller, beauty shop, or online store.
Matching products to boutiques, beauty stores, department stores, ecommerce, salons, spas, lifestyle retail, gifting, and wholesale channels.
Retail Experience
Launching without testers, sampling, staff guidance, or merchandising standards.
Using tester availability, scent education, display quality, staff guidance, storytelling, and sampling support to strengthen conversion.
Supply Pathway
Taking stock without confirming authorised source, batch consistency, or authenticity control.
Structuring authorised supply, replenishment cycle, batch consistency, documentation, and storage conditions.
Market Protection
Allowing uncontrolled pricing, reseller confusion, or grey-market exposure.
Using pricing discipline, dealer controls, territory rules, authenticity checks, and approved reseller standards.
