Overview
New products are the lifeblood of retail. They bring new customers into the stores, they provide competitive differentiation, and they drive sales and margin growth. Unfortunately, over 50% of new products fail. Of those that succeed, many miss the upside because they are underpriced or underbought -- resulting in stock-outs.
