If interested and/or accepted, we will contact you directly to learn more about your product and to discuss subsequent steps.
6. We will contact you via e-mail or phone regarding our interest and questions about the product, etc.
7. Reviews typically take at least 4-6 weeks from submission. If you have not heard back from us by then, our team has determined that your product does not fit our sales & distribution strategy.
