Having just finalized its new tablet design, Gates Electronics plans to begin a limited$-$time rollout with $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$Blank to only one traditional retailer in the tri$-$state area. This strategy will give consumers the perception of the product$$s stand$-$out personality and increase demand. The company will proceed with $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$Blank for the next four months, where it plans to distribute to three other retailers, as well. For the last six months of the year, it will initiate distribution agreements with discount retailers and online retailers, and any other electronics store that wants to carry it$.$ The marketing team is confident that the tablet will cycle through the first three stages of its product life cycle quickly. As the tablet reaches maturity during the second half of its first year in the market, it is good strategy to proceed with $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$Blank, as described above.
