They're launching new magnetic configurations that require the old ones to work as a system. Every limited drop isn't a replacement—it's an add-on to an ecosystem. The play: if your product is a singleton, design a system that makes every new variant a reason for old buyers to buy again. Magnetic, modular, or interconnected systems create repeat-purchase velocity on the same buyer. Run a limited drop of three magnetic configurations in 10 days, capture which configuration sells fastest, and that tells you which ecosystem direction the market wants.\n\nMy Stash Take on what it means for the rest of us →\nhttps://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/t/li/popsockets-2026-07-29t18-3\n→ Your Stash Room — your logo, live pricing, ships blind: https://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/r/li/popsockets-2026-07-29t18-3\n→ Proper imprints, done right at POPS4: https://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/s/li/popsockets-2026-07-29t18-3",
