You cannot win a margin war with Target if Target just got a tariff refund and can hold pricing while your COGS stays flat. Instead, lean on bundle offers, loyalty tier messaging ('members get 15% off'), and subscription models that lock in lifetime margin rather than fighting for per-unit discount.
