Bought once, not learned door by door.
Entering a market you do not know is the most expensive way to learn it. The wrong distributor, a mispriced ladder, a regulation discovered late: each costs a season, and some cost the market. The reports exist so those lessons arrive on paper first.
- Researched in person
Shop floors, counters and meetings, not desk research: what is actually ranged, at what price, by whom.
- Senior judgement
Prepared by Valérie Kaminov: thirty-five years and more than sixty markets of knowing what converts.
- Decision-ready
Retailers, distribution, pricing and positioning, organised the way a route-to-market decision is actually made.
- Current edition
Researched for this cycle, dated on the cover, and updated as the market moves.
"Strong partnerships are built on trust, transparency and results. Valérie understands all three."
