Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Transitioning from basic shelf placement to dedicated Byrna end-cap displays with major retail partners to improve product visibility, assortment, and customer education at the point of sale.

Expected impact: Aims to refine brand messaging, improve customer education, and accelerate retail expansion beyond early adopters to mainstream consumers.
Deploying new digital tools such as the 'Find the Right Launcher' interactive quiz and testing a 'try before you buy' program to improve e-commerce conversion rates.
