ZURU growth playbook

Add en-GB, en-ZA and an English and Arabic Saudi edition to the existing set: local product names (nappies, not diapers), sizes, prices, the launch retailer for each market on "Where to find us", local reviews as they come in, and hreflang for all of them. Until each page is ready, send the unknown locales to the nearest edition instead of a 404.

Each market launch then starts with a page that matches the shelf, and searches for the brand in those countries find it.

[ ] Unknown locales redirect, never 404
[ ] Local terms (nappies) and sizes
[ ] Launch retailer on Where to find us
[ ] Local prices or RRP
[ ] hreflang for every edition
[ ] Local social links
[ ] Waitlist until stock lands

• Launch dates move

  Publish a "coming soon" page with a waitlist until shelves are set.

• Arabic copy quality

  Review with the local distributor.

List every retailer with a direct product link, show a cookie-free list of nearby stores by ZIP code, and link each product page to the retailers that stock that product (the Ms. Rachel pants to Target, for example).
