One of the most common questions we hear emerging brands ask is: how many SKUs should I launch into stores with? And for good reason. Determining the number of SKUs that you'll sell into retail depends on many factors AND it impacts many other aspects of your business. That's why in this week's "Is It Worth It, Charlie?" episode of the Food Biz Wiz podcast, Charlie and Kim Meyer (the CEO & Chief Kimbar Maker at Real Food For The Journey, LLC) team up to discuss the number of SKUs that she will launch.



In this episode, you will hear more on...




  • How to think through best and worst case scenarios for your SKU numbers

  • Why it could be useful to offer seasonal flavors

  • And helpful reasons for starting off with small SKU numbers
