For international brands evaluating entry or expansion into the Italian market. A data-driven distribution model, built on the protection of value and the consistency of positioning.
Entering a new market is a delicate operation. Hasty channel decisions, erratic pricing, or opportunistic partnerships can undermine years of brand equity. Our job is to ensure that this does not happen in Italy.
The distribution model
Sprint Commerce distribution is a system with clear rules. Each brand enters the market through the model calibrated on its stage of maturity and target positioning.
Specialized agent networks on a regional basis, ensuring deep coverage of the Italian territory. Ideal for mature brands in a national expansion phase.
Direct management of top-tier accounts from headquarters, with focus on brand awareness and technical credibility. For premium brands building their positioning.
Each dealer is classified by Tier (S, 1, 2, 3) and Category (Running, Basket, Outdoor, Multisport, Big Chain). Product enters only where positioning is consistent.
We do not support systematic discounting. ITZ acts as a market anchor on RRP. Every commercial decision is subordinate to the protection of perceived value.
