(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Retail Dive, Under Armour's reliance on discounting raises questions about whether consumers will pay full price, testing the brand's premium positioning.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): never discount below 20% off MSRP in the first 90 days of launch. Under Armour discounted aggressively early, training buyers to wait for sales. Now full-price demand is soft. If you're launching, pick a price and hold it for 90 days minimum—even if it costs you 30% of early volume. That 30% loss is actually a filter. The buyers who wait for discounts have low repeat-purchase rates anyway. The 70% who buy at full price have 3x repeat rates. Set price, hold price, measure repeat, then move. Don't discount until you know your repeat cohort.\nWhat that means for you: never discount below 20% off MSRP in the first 90 days of launch. Under Armour discounted aggressively early, training buyers to wait for sales. Now full-price demand is soft. If you're launching, pick a price and hold it for 90 days minimum—even if it costs you 30% of early volume. That 30% loss is actually a filter. The buyers who wait for discounts have low repeat-purchase rates anyway. The 70% who buy at full price have 3x repeat rates. Set price, hold price, measure repeat, then move. Don't discount until you know your repeat cohort.\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/will-people-pay-more-under-armour-discounts-full-price/827321/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
