(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 documented that the brand generates 90% of revenue from DTC, has sustained profitability for years, and notched 20 consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth, per Retail Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): 90% DTC revenue means 90% margin ownership and zero marketplace algorithm risk. Build the brand on owned channels (email, SMS, repeat customer), price for gross margin above 60%, and reinvest the spread into retention and community. Do not take wholesale unless you are willing to cede 30-40% margin and control of the customer relationship. The filing is the proof that this math works for a fashion brand at scale; it works for every other category too.\nWhat that means for you: This is the document founders have been waiting for. You can stop arguing about whether DTC profitability is real—Reformation just filed it with the SEC. The template is not complicated: own your customer, keep your margin, reinvest in repeat rate. Everyone else is still borrowing venture dollars to chase wholesale discounts. Reformation out-compounded them for two decades on the logic of a corner store.\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 — Retail Dive: https://www.retaildive.com/news/reformation-ipo-profitable-dtc-model-possible/823857/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
