Product Umbrella 'Once' Performance Evaluation
The launch of the product 'Once' under the new product umbrella has been successful, selling well over a thousand copies within the initial phase, but sales have slowed down post-launch, a common trend in the industry. The co-founders acknowledge the long-term effort required to maintain and grow the product's presence, emphasizing realistic expectations and continuous promotion and improvement.
