In just four weeks, Bold’s proprietary approach addresses 5 areas essential for any brand’s success:

• Size of the Prize: Bold determines the brand’s Marketplace sales opportunity using proprietary calculations that leverage competitive sales benchmarks and shopper search volume.
• Competitor and Reseller Landscape: A comprehensive category audit identifies both established and emerging players that could threaten the brand’s growth.
• Cost to Compete: Marketing and promotion budgets are determined through assessment of competitive marketing activity levels and actual category-specific marketing costs.
• Portfolio Strategy: Based on assessment of pricing trends and of fulfillment costs (using Amazon’s FBA service or other 3PL alternatives), Bold provides SKU-level prioritization and provides profitable bundle and solution packs recommendations.
• Capability & Compliance: Finally, the Makeover addresses internal capability, highlighting specific areas that each brand may need to address based on their plans (including internal accounting and tax implications along with volume forecasting, pricing, and other processes).
