MARKET STRATEGY LEVERS
(01) Japan Market Reality
Japan rewards preparation, not improvisation
Most entries fail before they start: a positioning copied from home, a price Japan reads differently, a channel chosen because it was easy to reach. The market does not forgive a wrong first impression.
We build the reading first — where you fit, what Japan will pay, who actually sells you — so budget goes into a plan, not into finding out.
