(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nCarParts.com's A-Premium partnership grew from a $45M run rate in Q1 2026 to approaching $50M in Q2 2026, with a stated goal of 300,000 last-mile packages and free cash flow positive by year-end, per Seeking Alpha.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you are a physical-product brand with a wholesale or affiliate partner, measure and publish the quarterly run-rate growth, not the total. '$45M run rate' communicates velocity to retail buyers and logistics partners faster than 'we hit $11.2M this quarter.' It shows the trajectory is accelerating. Use this language in investor updates, press releases, and retail partnership pitches: 'run rate approaching X' signals you are outgrowing forecasts. This week: calculate your Q1 and Q2 run rates (annualized revenue), publish the delta, and cite it in your next wholesale or logistics pitch.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands hide behind 'we're growing' and then surprise people with the real number. CarParts.com does the opposite — they quote the annualized run rate and let the math do the talking. It is honest and it moves fast. When you know your run rate is climbing quarter to quarter, saying it out loud gives partners permission to invest more in you.\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 — Seeking Alpha: https://seekingalpha.com/news/4628661-carparts-com-targets-free-cash-flow-positive-in-2026-with-a-premium-near-50m-run-rate-and.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
