ShelfKey • Built for Startups

Self-serve CPG tools for founders and lean teams

ShelfKey is our companion toolkit: generate clean sell-in decks, sanity-check pricing & promo math, and turn messy spreadsheets into decision-ready views. Use it solo or alongside a LiftCPG project.

  • Deck builder & copy helpers for sell-in and reviews
  • Pricing & trade guardrail calculators
  • Quick-read charts (velocity, ACV) from your CSV/XLSX

Project clients receive 6 months of ShelfKey Pro included.

Example Outputs
Sell-in one-pager

Logo, hero claims, proof points, and top-line category story.

Pricing guardrails

MSRP, promoted price floors, and contribution snapshots.

Quick charts

Velocity & ACV views to guide the conversation.

Engagements without the bloat

Ad-hoc projects up to 3 months. Clear deliverables. No LSAs. Most work completes in 1–4 weeks.

  • Mix-and-match modules (see Services)
  • Weekly async updates + review calls
  • All source files yours (Figma, PPTX, XLSX, PBIX)
  • Optional: pair with ShelfKey to move faster between reviews

Simple, stage-aware quotes

We don’t post pricing because context matters. Early-stage needs are different from $10M+ scale problems.

  • Transparent fixed-fee or milestone-based projects
  • Stage-aware scoping for emerging brands
  • If we can’t deliver ROI, we won’t take the project

How We Work

1. Fit Call

15–20 minutes to confirm goals, constraints, and timeline.

2. Scope & Quote

You’ll get a 1-page SOW with deliverables, dates, and price.

3. Build

We ship iteratively. You see drafts early—no big-reveal surprises.

4. Handoff
