gaps in the market and areas for improvement in Sizwe's product range.
2. Customer Feedback Integration: Actively solicit feedback from existing customers

gathered from market research and customer feedback. Conduct rigorous testing to
ensure product durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

conduct regular audits to ensure compliance.
