(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSolo Stove is planning three new products for fall as DTC sales weaken, per CookOut News.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your DTC is sliding, don't discount — launch a new SKU that does 15-20% more than your hero product, price it 30% above your best seller, and tell existing customers it's 'the last iteration we're making.' New products are also your cleanest content hook. Each new SKU gets its own launch email sequence, unboxing video, and six-week halo period before the next one drops. Instead of running promotions, run a product calendar that trains customers to check back. A new launch every eight weeks means steady DTC traffic without paid-ad dependency.\nWhat that means for you: Solo Stove's DTC problem is the same as everyone's: the internet is full of cheaper stuff. The response isn't to get cheaper — it's to get newer. Three products for fall is actually a smart cadence; it's not desperation, it's rhythm. But here's the thing: most brands launch new products and then vanish for six months. Solo Stove should be building a launch calendar that's public and anticipated. Make the product roadmap part of the story. Customers will wait for the next thing if you give them a reason to.\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 — CookOut News: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiogFBVV95cUxQY2xERVZ3RVluYzBLUk8wb2VMSkVIZlNIQWRoTHJ3d3UtZGhWQU1yZ0oyODU5OFlteTlSSjlrMk4yVHhzTVZQODR2YVhYdVhVZERTVm1iX25qRWdMR2VkUTBwNm1sVDFCRjJjVmxDbEgxVlgwSFg3cVE3OTNqekI0SkhZTmhUS19WMUl5T000VWp3aXY3WlFDX0RYRmpXQlI1dXc.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
