Here's a more detailed explanation:

The Japanese verb '売り出す (うりだす)' means 'to launch' or 'to put on sale'. It is commonly used in business contexts to describe the act of introducing a new product or service to the market. This verb implies the start of selling something that was previously not available. For example: The company will launch a new product next month「会社は来月新しい製品を売り出します」(かいしゃはらいげつあたらしいせいひんをうりだします). They are putting the new collection on sale today「彼らは今日新しいコレクションを売り出しています」(かれらはきょうあたらしいコレクションをうりだしています). The nuance here is that '売り出す' emphasizes the action of making something available for purchase, often for the first time.
