This proposal outlines a strategic partnership designed to achieve three core objectives: liquidate existing inventory, elevate the Stemology brand, and execute a successful relaunch.

Stemology possesses a powerful legacy—40 years of devoted science, a patented SRC-7 stem cell technology, and a loyal customer base. However, to realize its full market potential, it requires a strategic repositioning and a modern go-to-market approach.

We propose a comprehensive plan that leverages our expertise in brand strategy, direct-to-consumer marketing, UGC development, advertising management, and community building.

01

Core Objectives

Objective 01

Inventory Liquidation

Generate immediate revenue through strategic sales of existing Stemology inventory via targeted campaigns and exclusive partnerships.

10,000 units
Objective 02

Brand Elevation

Transform Stemology into a premium wellness brand that competes with leading high-end health and wellness companies.

Premium positioning
Objective 03

The Opportunity
Honoring Legacy, Building the Future

Stemology stands on a remarkable foundation of scientific innovation. Your father-in-law's 40 years of research and development have produced something genuinely differentiated in the market: an all-natural, botanical formulation that triggers the body's own stem cells to regenerate.

The brand's commitment to natural, effective ingredients and its dedicated customer base are invaluable assets. However, the current branding and market positioning do not fully reflect the premium nature of the product.

The opportunity lies in bridging this gap—transforming Stemology into a brand that resonates with the modern, discerning consumer who values both scientific credibility and a sophisticated aesthetic.

SRC-7 Technology

Comprising four actives and three efficacy-enhancing helpers, SRC-7 represents real science, not marketing rhetoric. This patented stem cell technology is the foundation of genuine differentiation.

Positioning Reference: Seed

Successfully blended rigorous science with elevated design to create a compelling, high-end wellness experience. Demonstrates that consumers are willing to pay a premium for products that are both effective and beautiful.

Positioning Reference: Fatty15

Combined scientific credibility with sophisticated branding to establish premium positioning in the wellness supplement space.

The Stemology Opportunity

40 years of R&D, patented technology, and proven efficacy—positioned to compete on the same playing field as these premium brands.

03

Strategic Recommendation
Retain the Stemology Name

The name "Stemology" carries 40 years of equity, scientific credibility, and customer trust. Rather than creating an entirely new category term, we recommend redefining what Stemology represents.

Regenerative Body Care
Fascia Reinvigoration
Skin Renewal Science
Body Love

Regarding "Organicis"

Creating a new industry term presents significant challenges in terms of consumer education and market adoption. Instead, the "Organicis" concept can be woven into the brand narrative and website content as a supporting philosophy, rather than a replacement for the established Stemology identity.

Shasta's Foundational Role

This liquidation and priming strategy is anchored in Shasta's audience, trust, and curation.

This will be positioned as an exclusive offering available only to Shasta members, driving urgency and exclusivity while generating natural follow-on demand for the full brand relaunch. Shasta serves as a central execution partner, bringing strategic positioning, audience access, and third-party credibility to the market introduction.

Decision Gate: Proceed to Phase 2?

At the conclusion of the 90-day pilot, both parties will evaluate performance against the success metrics listed above. If the partnership delivers meaningful results and both parties agree to continue, we will proceed to Phase 2 with refined commercial terms based on proven performance data. No obligation to continue if results do not meet expectations.

Product Readiness Requirements (Required for Launch)

Before the pilot can launch, the following foundational elements must be in place:

  • Product Inventory
    • Confirmed availability of 10,000+ units of existing products
    • Products in sellable condition with appropriate packaging
    • Clear SKU definitions and pricing structure
  • Fulfillment Infrastructure
    • Order processing system in place
    • Reliable shipping partner and fulfillment workflows
    • Return and exchange policy defined
  • Customer Support
    • Email and/or phone support capability
    • FAQ documentation and product education materials
    • Process for handling customer inquiries and issues
  • Legal & Compliance
    • Product claims substantiation and compliance review
    • Terms of service, privacy policy, and shipping policies
    • Any required licenses or regulatory approvals
  • Brand Assets & Content
    • High-quality product photography
    • Product descriptions and ingredient information
    • Brand story and scientific substantiation materials
    • Any existing customer testimonials or case studies

Shasta will provide strategic guidance and support in preparing these elements, but final responsibility for product readiness rests with Stemology.

Phase 2 Preview (Conditional on Phase 1 Success)

If Phase 1 demonstrates strong performance and both parties agree to continue, Phase 2 will involve a full-scale brand relaunch and go-to-market execution. This phase would include:

Commercial Terms for Phase 2 (Indicative):

  • Revised monthly retainer based on scope expansion
  • Equity stake or revenue share on new product line
  • Performance-based bonuses tied to growth milestones
  • Extended partnership duration (6–12 months minimum)
