What should you do first?

  1. Choose the merchant decision.

    Choose the activity and beverage job before treating insulation as the full position.

  2. Test the job in a real situation.

    Test the insulated drinking job against the gym workouts situation before fixing the product-page lead.

  3. Research the audience context.

    Research the explicit athletes audience context without treating the label as observed buying behavior.

  4. Keep season claims bounded.

    Use season associations as merchandising hypotheses and keep them separate from forecasts or sales claims.
