PRODUCT BRAINSTORMING PROCESS – HOW TO SELECT IDEAS

 Brainstorming ideas with no methodical approach may potentially set you back in time. However, our structured product brainstorming process will help you to come up with the best ideas. Firstly, our process includes three specialists to work on a project, consisting of a sales person, a merchandiser and a designer. After, the team will produce a brief review to ensure they’re aware of as much information as possible. After that, together they work with one another to come up with new and original product ideas. It is important these ideas cater to the clients specifications whilst also matching the target price.

Furthermore, to review the ideas produce a presentation including hand sketches and research for review at the next team meeting. It will open up to more brainstorming and help pick out the best ideas for the final presentation.

About the Product

All items should be branded with the client’s logo. Moreover, check with production managers that the manufacturing and costs of each product go hand in hand with the client’s budget. In addition, the presentation will include existing items as well as new designs, created specifically for your client.
