Do not copy the tactics (bundling, TikTok Shop, influencer seeding) as isolated stunts. Copy the mindset: ship a better product faster, own the customer relationship, and compress the margin so you can outprice the incumbent on the shelf. The Bain report shows the market has already made this choice.
