Sell sheets a buyer can repeat to their boss
Sell sheets & line review decks
One-pagers, line sheets, line review decks, distributor and price sheets.
A sell sheet for a CPG brand has one job: give a buyer the story, the numbers and the shelf set in the sixty seconds they will give it, in a form they can forward to the person who actually says yes. I design sell sheets and line review decks that look like the pack, read in the order a buyer reads, and print right on an office printer, because that is where most of them end up.
What I design
The paper and the slides that go into the room with you, or ahead of you.
- Product sell sheets: one SKU or one line on one page, front and back.
- Line sheets with the full range, case configurations, UPCs, pallet counts and pricing in a table someone can actually read.
- Line review and category presentations for the buyer meeting, built to be presented and to be read afterwards without you.
- Distributor one-pagers for UNFI, KeHE and the regional houses, in the format their category teams expect.
- Price, promo and trade calendar sheets that match the deck.
- Brand story one-pagers for press, investors and the buyer who wants to know who you are before what you sell.
- An editable template, so your team can update a price or add a SKU without me.
What goes on it, in what order
Buyers read numbers first and adjectives never. The one reason to list you, in a line. The product, photographed or rendered properly. The range and the shelf set. Case pack, pallet, UPCs, pricing, margin. Proof: velocity, where you are already selling, what moved at the last demo. The promo plan. Who to call. In that order, on one sheet, with the pack doing the brand work so the copy does not have to.
Why me for this
A line review is a specific room, and I have sat in it from the brand side, at a multinational food company, across launches and retail programs. I have watched which sell sheets got passed up the chain and which went in the bin under the table. You get that from one person, at a fixed price per piece, usually in about a week once I have the product shots and the numbers.
His impact was very deliberate, creative, agile, and immediately results oriented.
Where my work has been seen
Questions I get first
Do you write the copy?
Print or digital?
Can we update it ourselves after?
Do you do the line review deck as well?
How fast?
