RETAIL
Footwear stores and ecommerce assortments
Map the target footwear categories and shelf architecture. Specify whether the line needs separate cleaners, brushes, cloths, protectors, deodorizers, laces, insoles, or complete kits. Ask for fill or unit size, pack dimensions, barcode and label responsibility, master-carton ratio, assortment quantity, display requirements, and product-specific documentation.
SPORT
Teams, clubs, and training facilities
Describe shared or individual use, indoor or outdoor footwear, soil type, cleaning location, storage, replenishment rhythm, and kit custody. Require the supplier to identify surface exclusions and application instructions for the exact proposal. Do not infer athlete safety, antimicrobial effect, material protection, or treatment performance from a generic family description.
SERVICE
Repair shops and footwear care counters
List technician steps, substrate range, dispensing format, brush stiffness or cloth construction, refill unit, labeling, and waste-handling questions. A professional-use claim does not replace formula-specific information or a controlled sample check. Record whether a quotation includes applicators, containers, closures, retail packaging, or only bulk contents.
PROGRAM
Hospitality, corporate, and promotional kits
Define recipient profile, pack contents, branding, artwork revision, presentation box or pouch, insert copy, quantity by color or kit, delivery destinations, and approval sequence. If sustainability language is requested, ask what exact material, content, test, or chain-of-custody evidence supports the proposed wording; avoid broad environmental conclusions.
