Spark by HALO  ·  Services

From concept to shelf. every phase, one team

The Spark Model is a proven, end-to-end process built on decades of bringing consumer products to America's top retailers. Every engagement is tailored, but every engagement follows the same disciplined framework.

The Spark Framework  ·  Five Phases
01
Market Research
Foundation
We start by understanding the landscape: category dynamics, competitive positioning, pricing architecture, and white space. This isn't surface-level research; it's the kind of retailer-grade intelligence that informs every product decision downstream. We look at what's winning, what's saturated, and where there's room to own something.

02
Product Ideation
Strategy
With research in hand, we move into ideation, translating market gaps into product concepts. This is where category expertise meets creative thinking. We define the product strategy, align on concept priorities, and validate feasibility early so nothing is built on a shaky foundation. We help clients think like merchants: what will the buyer say yes to, and why?

03
Assortment Development
Architecture
A great product in isolation rarely wins. We build balanced, scalable assortments that give retailers the breadth they need and consumers the range they want. This phase maps entry points, hero SKUs, and expansion opportunities. We ensure every product in the line earns its place and the full assortment tells a coherent story.

04
Sourcing & Engineering
Execution
This is where the plan becomes real. We leverage a global factory network built over decades, with deep trusted relationships across Asia, including China and Vietnam. We qualify suppliers, manage engineering, drive cost optimization, and maintain quality standards without sacrificing speed. David Yang leads this phase, bringing hands-on CTO-level technical oversight to every product in development.

05
Retail Launch
Launch
Getting to shelf is one thing. Staying there and scaling is another. We manage the full U.S. go-to-market: retailer positioning, buyer presentation strategy, channel prioritization, and e-commerce alignment. Our track record across Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Costco, and Amazon means we understand what each retailer needs and how to deliver it.
