If your products are not in stores, it will be much more challenging for you to meet your sales targets moving forward.

When customers see your products on store shelves it not only gives your offerings a certain amount of credibility but also gives them an opportunity to see your products up close and personal so they can get a real feel for what your offerings are all about.
