Embarking on brand partnerships can be a promising strategy for business expansion - with that said, it is crucial to consider the following:

• Understanding the logistics and supply chain management required for scaling your business.
• Preparing for the financial investment needed to support increased production and distribution.
• Building a strong customer service team to handle the influx of inquiries and orders.
• Maintaining quality control and ensuring that your products meet the standards expected by major retailers and brand partners.
