(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nFujifilm X100VI and Ricoh GR IV continue to face significant stock shortages well into 2025, with supply unable to meet demand, per Fstoppers.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you sell a physical product with long manufacturing lead times (especially hardware or specialty goods), consider rationing supply deliberately during the first 12 months of a product launch. Announce 'limited initial production' and sell out in 60 days instead of trying to produce to meet all demand at once. The scarcity creates word-of-mouth and secondary-market interest. Then, restock 90 days later as the 'second drop,' which reactivates the sales conversation. You've turned a supply constraint into a narrative asset.\nWhat that means for you: Fujifilm and Ricoh didn't plan for these cameras to be in shortage — they just couldn't manufacture fast enough to meet demand. But the shortage became part of the brand story. If you're launching a hardware product and you know you have manufacturing constraints, don't apologize for them. Build them into the strategy. Limited production is not a liability; it's a waiting list.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Fstoppers: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMitgFBVV95cUxPRmRQejJOMjVwRERMRmkya1c2cmNLOVhNYWRBdWVweGdvUFMyMHA0QXdPVmtXdl9pbVVMQmprbHl4SHE4ZUtjdS1QZ2V6MkZGbWF0WkxMMjhNUzIyc3hqQ215Yl9xYTFkRTl1RWkxbTFSZzBTejFIbUtkZ2VxWVlrSlE5cVJnaWVkaGxYT2RXcnBMSTQxM2FYVm8ybmVqVFA3b3lhUlFsVUQwbXdtUEpXS0o4QnNLZw?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
