(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer MSN News, wholesale partnerships are becoming the primary source of market intelligence for physical-product brands, shaping where and how they expand next.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): If you land product in a major retailer, do not just collect the check. Ask for the data: weekly sell-through per SKU, return rates, which stores sell fastest, which regions drive velocity. Use that data to decide whether to expand, hold, or pivot.
