The challenge

A 30-year-old cookware manufacturer with strong wholesale relationships, real production capacity, and no direct channel whatsoever. No listings, no brand assets, no idea which of their 900 SKUs would sell online.

The risk wasn't demand, it was choosing wrong. Launching 900 SKUs would bury the winners and tie up working capital in slow stock.

What we did

01

Hunted before we listed

Three weeks of search-volume and competitor-pricing research narrowed 900 SKUs to 312 with genuine demand at a price the factory could hit profitably. We published in three waves so each cohort's data informed the next.

02

Priced against the wholesale reality

The existing wholesale channel had to survive the launch. We built a pricing floor per SKU that protected distributor margin, then found the online positioning inside that constraint rather than undercutting the business the client already had.

03

Wrote listings for the index and the buyer

Every title carried its primary term in the first 40 characters, every attribute set was completed in full, and the top 40 SKUs got proper photography. Complete attributes alone moved several categories into filtered results they'd been invisible to.

04

Ramped ads against stock, not ambition

Spend was capped at a percentage of confirmed available inventory per SKU and reviewed twice a week. Nothing scaled past what the factory could actually ship.

The outcome

January 2025 — the third full trading month — closed at PKR 1,605,262 across 312 live listings. 71% of that came from the 40 SKUs identified in the first research wave, which validated the narrow launch.

The client has since added a second brand storefront and now runs marketplace as a standalone P&L line.
