Frequently Asked Questions

General

Informal marketing focuses on reaching consumers through non-traditional channels like spaza stores, schools, churches, and local community events.

This approach allows brands to connect directly with consumers in their everyday environments, often in under-served markets that have strong local influence and loyalty.

The timeline depends on various factors, including the product type, demand, and market readiness.

Typically, after our initial assessment and distribution plan, it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to get your product into key informal markets. We guide you through every step to ensure your product gets there as quickly and efficiently as possible.
