5 Classic B2B Buyer Mistakes

  1. Buy an existing game and paste its logo — “White label” effect without added value. Prefer a truly custom one or a redesigned recognizable format.
  2. Underestimate the deadline — Production France = 4 to 12 weeks depending on complexity. Anticipate.
  3. Skip the prototype — For projects of 500+ ex, a prototype validates readability, ergonomics, real play before large series.
  4. Choose the cheapest format — A low-cost team cohesion kit that doesn’t work = lost budget. Invest in the educational relevance of the content.
  5. Forgetting the post-delivery phase — Animation, user guide, recovery kit: essential for the game to really be useful.
