(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Retail Touchpoints, Bylt announced plans to expand from DTC to wholesale distribution while maintaining company-owned retail locations.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): don't bifurcate wholesale and DTC as either-or. Bylt kept their stores open and added wholesale to accelerate volume. The play is channel stacking—each channel's strength covers the other's weakness. Wholesale is slow to onboard but fast to scale volume. DTC is fast to control but slow to reach cold audiences. Run the same test: pick one tier-1 retailer in your category (not a bottom-tier listing), pitch them a 90-day exclusive on one SKU, and keep DTC going. Measure total revenue, not margin per channel.
