Your 90-Day Launch Roadmap

  1. Days 1–14: lock niche, first 12 SKUs, shipping thresholds, return window, policy pages.
  2. Days 15–45: publish 5 SEO pages + 3 collection pages; email capture; cart/checkout cleanup.
  3. Days 46–90: launch ads with tight audiences; weekly SEO/blog cadence; add 2 lifecycle emails.

Traffic Math (example)

8,000 visits/mo × 2.0% conversion × $58 AOV = $9,280/mo gross. At 48% blended COGS+fulfillment and $2,400 fixed, you’re near break-even. The template lets you swap in your real costs and targets.

How should I price products and hit break-even?

Start with unit cost + fulfillment + platform fees + ad CAC, then set contribution margins by tier. The forecast shows when fixed costs are covered as traffic, conversion, and AOV rise—so you can run promos without erasing margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the plan support both dropship and private-label?

Yes. Validate SKUs with dropship, then shift winners to private-label for margin control. The model shows mix-shift effects.

Can I attach this to SBA or landlord paperwork?

Yes. It follows lender-first order—concept, operations, staffing, policies, and 36-month financials—ready to attach.

What fulfillment options are covered?

In-house, micro-warehouse, or 3PL. Includes pick/pack timing, label generation, and WISMO handling so SLAs are clear.
