The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Prime 5 economics actually settle.

Frequently asked questions
Should Prime 5 be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Can several models be mixed in one shipment?
Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
