TruLife DistributionU.S. Retail Commercialization

Home / What we do

One U.S. commercial function, six disciplines.

Compliance, sales, logistics, e-commerce, and marketing run under one team for one brand. Nothing gets handed between vendors who don't talk to each other.

01

Market entry & FDA compliance

Labels, claims, registration, and import paperwork reviewed and corrected before production — not after a container is sitting at the port.

02

Retail strategy & pricing

Landed cost, margin through every step of the U.S. chain, shelf-price benchmarking and trade spend — modelled before the first buyer meeting.

Explore

03

Retail distribution & buyers

Category buyers at national and regional chains, in scheduled meetings, with a presentation built to their criteria rather than yours.

Explore

04

Logistics & warehousing

Receiving, storage, fulfillment and Amazon prep from a single U.S. inventory position, so there is one stock number rather than two.

Explore

05

Amazon & e-commerce

Marketplace performance built deliberately, because the first question in a buyer meeting is how the product already sells.

Explore

06

Brand management & marketing

The visibility that makes a buyer meeting easier and a shelf position defensible once it's won.

Explore

07

Public relations

Trade and consumer press that gives a category buyer a reason to believe the brand is moving before it reaches their shelf.

The process

How we work

The four phases an engagement runs in, what we commit to each month, and what we deliberately don't promise.

Why TruLife

How an outsourced commercial function differs from a broker, a distributor and a consultant — including where each of those is the better answer.

How an engagement runs

Assess, build, sell, grow — in that order.

The order isn't a preference. Skipping ahead is the single most common reason a well-funded launch stalls in its first year.

Phase 01

Assess

Category fit, pricing and margin structure through the U.S. chain, compliance gaps, and a realistic door target. Candid, before you commit.

Phase 02

Build

Labeling and FDA compliance, liability coverage, customs and freight, warehousing, and marketplace listings.

Phase 03

Sell

Buyer meetings and account presentations, ECRM programs, distributor and broker activation, first purchase orders.

Phase 04

Grow

Merchandising and resets, promotional calendars, marketplace management, PR and media to support the shelf you won.

The overview

All of it, explained in one sitting.
