(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer The Drum, PrettyLitter and agency Mindgruve used Amazon Marketing Cloud to measure which DTC customers were migrating to Amazon, then created Amazon-exclusive SKU variants to recapture margin without undercutting their direct site.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you sell DTC and Amazon, launch a distinct SKU on Amazon—different count, bundle configuration, or format—priced $2–5 below your DTC equivalent. Track which customers bought on Amazon in month 1–2, then email them a DTC-exclusive loyalty offer tied to the full-size SKU. You recover the Amazon customer at a higher margin on the second order. This play prevents channel war within your own customer base.\nWhat that means for you: if you sell DTC and Amazon, launch a distinct SKU on Amazon—different count, bundle configuration, or format—priced $2–5 below your DTC equivalent. Track which customers bought on Amazon in month 1–2, then email them a DTC-exclusive loyalty offer tied to the full-size SKU. You recover the Amazon customer at a higher margin on the second order. This play prevents channel war within your own customer base.\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 — The Drum: https://www.thedrum.com/awards-case-study/how-prettylitter-used-advanced-analytics-to-measure-amazon-cannibalization-risk.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
