(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSoul Mega is prioritizing sales velocity (how fast product moves per store) over opening new retail accounts, per The Brewer Magazine reporting, signaling a shift in how brands measure wholesale success.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when pitching your first wave of retail accounts, don't aim for 50 stores—aim for 10 stores that will turn inventory fast. Supply your broker or distributor with: (a) your sell-through data from any e-commerce channel you run, (b) a reorder window (e.g., 'I can ship restocks in 5 days'), and (c) a velocity target (e.g., 'we'll sell 15 units per store per week based on our online data'). Retailers like velocity because it means margin per square foot is high and the shelf isn't dead weight. Once you hit that target in the first 10 stores for 8 weeks straight, add 10 more. Quality over quantity compounds faster than spreading thin.\nWhat that means for you: The Brewer Magazine piece tells you what sophisticated CPG brands already know: velocity is how you actually get allocated shelf space at scale. A distributor or buyer will support high-velocity products with prime shelf and reorder frequency, even if the account count is small. Most emerging brands do it backwards—they think 100 stores at low velocity looks better than 10 stores at high velocity. It doesn't. The math and the supply chain prove it.\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 Brewer Magazine: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiswFBVV95cUxOdHNDWm50eGt1RmZDUWNMWmw1bWpSYmpDNW9GRFBqekpoUEFhaHRaeEtoVDlQcXFFeXV5NlJ0eTFzc29rLTd6a09lRFhKdzdQRW5QS3FkNGlhZEdUMFVET0g3QVVkdXhKMUdKc29Ba3dXRzduNVB3SVAwSEYwZjdTMVhVNUkzb2hRTW5wVnJPYXUwc3ZEc2ZsTnV0WHNpNmxlY2dxd01oZEx5VXZqUDk5VUY0UQ?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
