FMCG Launch — Pan-India Distribution & Trade Marketing

Emerald Merchandise Pvt. Ltd. partnered with a fast-growing FMCG brand to launch three SKUs in India. We owned the go-to-market (GTM) motion end-to-end—sourcing audits, compliance, pricing architecture, distributor onboarding, regional warehousing, retail media, and in-store execution. The result: rapid on-shelf availability, healthy velocity, and sustainable margins across Modern Trade (MT), General Trade (GT), and eCommerce.

What We Did

  • Compliance & Labeling: Finalized India-ready artwork, legal metrology fields, and claims documentation.
  • Pricing & Unit Economics: Built channel-wise P&L with guarded promo floors and retail media budgets.
  • Channel Onboarding: Secured listings in priority MT banners; activated 7 regional distributors for GT; enabled eCommerce/Q-commerce with SLA alignment.
  • Warehousing & Logistics: Deployed 3 regional hubs, standardized dispatch windows, and defined exception management.
  • Trade Marketing: Rolled out planograms, secondary displays, and sampling; executed promo waves tied to sell-through targets.
  • Content & PIM: Rebuilt PDPs with A+ assets, compliance attributes, and comparison charts; implemented content QA.
  • Performance Cadence: Weekly reviews on availability, velocity (UPW), returns/aging, and ROAS; rapid course-corrections.

Results

  • Availability: 1,250+ stores live in 60 days.
  • Velocity: +32% uplift in units/store/week post visibility & promo wave.
  • Delivery: 96% DIFOT with <1.5% damages through packaging optimization.
  • eCommerce: +28% PDP conversion and improved search rank for top keywords.
  • Margin: Maintained ASP with promo guardrails and channel leakage controls.
