From Guesswork to Blueprint.

Secure Your Profit Model.

Most global brands fail in Japan not because the product is wrong, but because the Business Model is Uncalibrated. The most expensive mistake is committing capital based on Western assumptions that bleed margin in Tokyo.

J-Market™ Premium is your Strategic Blueprint.

Its core purpose is singular: To define the right strategy that seamlessly bridges into J-Launch execution. Before you spend marketing budget or create assets, we clarify your market size, competitive positioning, and financial structure, ensuring every move is grounded in data.

Prerequisite: If you haven’t completed the Strategic Viability Assessment (Free) yet, please take it first. We use your diagnostic data to calibrate your Command Center.

From Confusion to Capital Efficiency.

With J-Market™ Premium completed, your leadership team will be able to:

  • Validate your P&L: Know your true break-even point across different channels before you ship.

  • Define the Battlefield: Know exactly who your competitors are and how to differentiate.

  • Negotiate from Strength: Enter distributor meetings armed with a clear understanding of the cost structure.

  • Seamless Transition: With this blueprint, you are ready to upgrade to J-Launch™ for asset creation and compliance execution.

J-Market™ Premium eliminates the "expensive trial-and-error" phase. It gives you the structural confidence to commit capital.

  • Standard reports give you "data" (e.g., market size), but they don't tell you "how to win." J-Market™ Premium is a Strategic Blueprint. We don't just analyze the market; we calculate your True Profit Model (Cost Structures for Amazon/Rakuten/Retail) and define a specific 90-Day Launch Plan. It is an actionable roadmap, not just passive information.

  • Item descriptionProduct strength does not guarantee business model fit. Most global brands fail in Japan not because of their product, but due to Pricing Structure Errors or Invisible Compliance Costs. The core value of Premium is to validate that your business model is profitable in Tokyo before you commit capital to inventory or hiring.

  • No. That is the focus of J-Mapping™. J-Market™ Premium is the Strategy Phase. Approaching distributors before you have a validated pricing strategy and clear positioning usually leads to failed negotiations. Premium ensures you enter those future meetings with financial confidence.

  • No. Asset creation belongs to J-Launch™ (Execution). Premium focuses on "Defining the Strategy" (e.g., What is our hook? What is our price?). Once the strategy is locked, you can seamlessly upgrade to J-Launch™ to have our team build the specific assets based on this blueprint.

  • Yes, absolutely. Struggle often indicates a Business Model Mismatch. We use the Premium process to re-diagnose your Pricing Logic, Competitor Gaps, and Target Persona, helping you engineer a data-backed "Re-launch" or strategic pivot.

  • Typically 7-10 business days after we receive your complete intake data. Our consultants and AI systems use this time to perform deep-dive competitor analysis and financial modeling.

  • We strongly advise against it. Executing (creating assets or calling buyers) without a validated strategy is like sailing without a compass. In our experience, brands that skip the strategy phase often face costly setbacks in customs compliance or pricing negotiations later on.
