(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Modern Retail, Lowe's integrated its marketplace into My Red Vest, the point-of-sale software employees use in stores, allowing customers to order marketplace items (decorative geese, above-ground pools, etc.) from in-store kiosks.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): your store or warehouse is already a fulfillment node. Embed marketplace or third-party inventory access into the point-of-sale or employee system. Staff do not need new training; they use what they already have. A customer asking for something out of stock becomes a conversion, not a lost sale. This works for any brand with a store and a supplier network. Test it with one location. Measure basket value (customers who order out-of-stock items often buy in-stock items in the same trip).\nWhat that means for you: This is unglamorous infrastructure work, not a shiny new channel. But it's the kind of move that shifts the economics of physical retail. A store is not dead when it runs out of something — it becomes a showroom and order terminal. That changes how you staff, how you think about inventory, how you think about the role of a physical location. Lowe's is quietly building a system that keeps every sale in-house, even the ones it does not stock.\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 — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/operations/lowes-makes-it-easier-to-order-decorative-geese-above-ground-pools-and-other-marketplace-items-in-over-1700-stores/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
