Event rollout framework — multi-event merch program in one annual cycle
Coordinated rollout of 6-12 events in Portugal over 12 months: stage-gates, shared SKU pool, regional drop schedule, post-event reverse-logistics from the Lisbon hub.
Shared SKU pool and stage-gates
A 6-12 event programme runs cheaper when 60-70% of items reuse a shared SKU pool (tote, bottle, notebook, lanyard) with event-specific personalization on 20-30% (tee, badge, sticker pack). Stage-gates: T-90 brief, T-60 SKU lock, T-45 PO, T-30 production, T-14 ship, T-0 event. Each gate has named owners across procurement, brand, events, logistics.
Regional drops and reverse logistics
Regional staging in Lisbon plus 2 secondary depots reduces last-mile cost 18-25% across Portugal. Reverse logistics on leftover stock: 60% reissued to next event, 25% donated to NGO partner, 15% recycled (rPET stream). All quotes EUR ex-IVA 23% via Portal das Finanças (AT).
