Retail Solved released Episode 336 of the CPG Retail Doors episode series, which focuses on modeling distribution gaps and opportunity costs.

Retail Solved helps entrepreneurial CPG brands grow retail sales without burning cash. We work with emerging and growth-stage CPG brands, with a strong focus on natural, organic, and better-for-you products, helping founders extend runway, improve execution, and compete head-to-head with far larger brands. Most CPG brands don’t struggle because their product isn’t good. They struggle because retail growth is complex—and most advice focuses on activity, not leverage. That often leads to wasted trade spend, weak broker performance, poor shelf execution, and stalled velocity. Retail Solved closes that gap. We translate the advanced strategies big brands rely on—including category management, fact-based selling, trade promotion strategy, pricing and promotion architecture, broker management, and retail execution systems—into clear, practical roadmaps founders can actually implement. Our work helps brands:
 • increase retail velocity and distribution quality 
• optimize trade spend and promotion ROI
 • improve broker effectiveness and in-store execution
 • build retailer-ready selling stories 
• protect margin and increase brand valuation
 • convert occasional shoppers into loyal brand evangelists Retail Solved delivers support through education, advisory, courses, tools, and mentoring, making sophisticated retail strategy accessible to founders with limited resources and zero margin for error. We exist to help mission-driven CPG brands grow profitably—so they can fund innovation, earn an equal seat at the table with retailers, and do more good in the world. Empowering Entrepreneurial CPG brands to get more runway from their available resources giving them an Unfair Competitive Advantage.
