MARKET AND COMPETITION ANALYSIS,
TARGET AUDIENCE RESEARCH, NEGOTIATION SUPPORT,
B2B SALES LAUNCHING

Product

ThermoUp are innovative infrared in-home and business premises heaters.

The Customer decided to enter the well-matured German market.

The new brand ThermoUP decided to prove that it can compete with famous European manufacturers.

Task

We conducted a comparative review of competitors: their models, configurations, pricing, sales strategies. We also identified typical sales channels.

01

Market and competition analysis

Solution

In addition, we identified the most promising segment of end customers and conducted several in-depth interviews with the target audience.

02

Target audience research

We contacted Deutsches Verpackungsinstitut E.V. (DVI) (German Packaging Institute) and obtained first-hand information about proper packaging, and helped the customer save money on consultations.

03

Getting official information about proper product packaging

We accompanied the customer to the glasstec exhibition in Düsseldorf and
scheduled face-to-face meetings with potential partners. Our consultant went to the exhibition and helped to negotiate, taking into account the specifics of procurement in the German market.

Accompaniment at the glasstec exhibition

KLV LAB & Bridge-One-Seven Team

We successfully completed the first product delivery to the European market just after a couple of months of working. And others have already followed (first the sales partner orders samples, and then places orders for devices for his customers).

For more efficient work in the German market, it was worth supplying goods to partners with customs clearance. Thus, Bridge-One-Seven became the official importer of ThermoUp in the EU.

So we not only fully prepared the product for sale for any demanding market, but also solved the export issue.

05

Deals with wholesale customers were concluded

In 2021, we achieved a 2.5-fold increase in sales compared to 2020.

Heaters and other products manufactured by the company are currently sold throughout Europe, from Southern Spain to Norway and Bulgaria; a special notion should be given to Poland.
