Launching a case line is a product-planning exercise. Here is the sequence that works for most music brands.
Step 1: Define the range
Pick 3-5 instruments, then 2 tiers (gig bag + hardshell) per instrument. Start with electric and acoustic — the biggest markets.
Step 2: Choose colors
Black sells first. Add 2-3 brand colors, then seasonal accents.
Step 3: Set specs
Standardize materials per tier. One foam spec, one interior fabric — consistency beats variety.
Step 4: Plan MOQ and timeline
Confirm MOQ per SKU and lead time. Order samples of every SKU before bulk.
Step 5: Launch and iterate
Start with best-sellers, add SKUs from sales data.
