It seems that Amazon stores (or some franchise) could act as a good proxy for launching / improving these products - imagine running a store, and lining up products to be "test driven" in store, with all the drivers licenses and check ups one might want. I can happily imagine trying out a fairly wide range of electronics - others may prefer shoes on Thursday or Fly traps on Friday.

TBH, retail is supposed to becoming "experience" based so this might be a runner. If someone tells me Jeff's mobile number I will persuade him.

They sort of do that with their launchpad program.

That looks ... meh at best.

Let's say I make a Dad Bag, shoulder straps and large zips, plenty of space for nappies and milk bottles books and wipes.

I want that on blogs, instagram cool-dad accounts, so that's finding 2-300 accounts and giving them free samples, but before that I want 4.5+ stars for the darn thing on Amazon (FBA) - so how do I do that ?

Or is that the wrong way?
