(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer PYMNTS, DoorDash introduced a platform that provides brands with purchase-based signals from consumer orders and audit-based signals from their live shelf placements in contracted stores.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your product is available on a delivery platform, demand the live shelf audit data as part of your distribution agreement. Take screenshots of the shelf data every 48 hours and build a log of placement changes. If you see degradation (eye-level to lower shelf), call the retailer's distribution manager with the data and ask for a reset. The platform is admitting placement matters; use their own audit against them to lock premium positioning.\nWhat that means for you: if your product is available on a delivery platform, demand the live shelf audit data as part of your distribution agreement. Take screenshots of the shelf data every 48 hours and build a log of placement changes. If you see degradation (eye-level to lower shelf), call the retailer's distribution manager with the data and ask for a reset. The platform is admitting placement matters; use their own audit against them to lock premium positioning.\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 — PYMNTS: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6ace1d8c163c48909f868c3d7fcbaa75&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.pymnts.com%2fnews%2fretail%2f2026%2fdoordash-hands-brands-live-shelf-data-retail-insights%2f&c=9760134843548626843&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
