(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nReformation's IPO filing shows the brand has built a profitable direct-to-consumer model while managing wholesale expansion, per Retail Dive. The proof of unit economics is the filing itself.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): stop treating DTC and wholesale as opposing forces. Reformation runs both because DTC owns the margin and the data, while wholesale extends reach without capital expense. The IPO filing is the receipt: this works. A physical-product operator should map their unit cost, set DTC margin at 50% or higher, and keep wholesale as a volume play at 35-40% margin. The filing shows this stacks. Don't abandon wholesale to chase DTC purity; layer them and let the math prove which channel to expand.\nWhat that means for you: stop treating DTC and wholesale as opposing forces.
