What should you do first?

  1. Choose the merchant decision.

    Decide whether the offer is for home practice, class transport, floor protection, or meditation.

  2. Test the job in a real situation.

    Test the yoga practice job against the home workouts situation before fixing the product-page lead.

  3. Research the audience context.

    Research the explicit yoga practitioners 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.
