Retail expansion plays that win accounts

Four moments where brands decide where to expand, who to sell to, when to approach, and what to say — and what the Lazrbeam workflow looks like in each.

Find Your Next Market

Find Your Next Market

You're strong in the Midwest. Now you want the Northeast.

Moving into an unfamiliar market used to mean cold calls, trade show booths, and months of guesswork. Lazrbeam maps where you should expand, who owns your category in that region, when their review windows open, and what to say — so you enter with a plan, not a contact list.

Set the target region and category
Lazrbeam ranks markets and retailers with real expansion potential
Map the category buyer at each priority account
Time outreach to the review window and generate the pitch

Result: A sequenced market-entry plan — not a spreadsheet of names.

DTC to Retail

Go From DTC to Your First Retail Accounts

Online traction is real. Now you need the right first doors.

DTC velocity proves demand — but the first retail accounts decide whether that demand becomes distribution. Lazrbeam sequences proof-point retailers, identifies the buyer who can greenlight your category, and builds outreach that references your actual DTC footprint.

Scale Distribution

Turn 200 Doors Into 2,000

You're on shelves. Now you need a repeatable expansion pipeline.

Regional traction is the hard part — scaling it is a process. Lazrbeam turns your depletion data into the next markets and accounts, maps the category owners, surfaces review timing, and keeps outreach and sell sheets moving so expansion stays a pipeline, not a scramble.

Import distributor and DSD reports into Sales Intelligence
Ask where your velocity supports the next wave of accounts
Target category buyers ahead of review windows
Run outreach, sell sheets, and follow-ups from one workflow

Result: A repeatable path from doors won to doors next.

Expand Beyond Retail

Expand Beyond Retail

Hospitality and foodservice need the same clarity — where, who, when, what.

The expansion play doesn't stop at grocery. Lazrbeam helps you identify hospitality and foodservice accounts that fit your brand, find the right buyers, and build the pitch for channels adjacent to retail — without starting from a blank CRM.

Define the adjacent channel and geography
Map accounts and buyers with category relevance
Prioritize outreach windows and decision cycles
Generate channel-specific outreach and leave-behinds

Result: Retail momentum carried into the next channel.

Review season is a calendar, not a mystery.

Dry January sets are built in the fall. Summer beverage resets are decided in Q1. Lazrbeam knows when your category reviews at each chain — so outreach lands while the window is open.
