About this listen
Think your brand identity is bulletproof? Think again.
In this episode of Retail & Shiz, I share a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when your DTC brand hits retail shelves and why your stunning branding might not survive the buyer review process.
From last-minute endcap changes to compliance curveballs, I break down the five branding realities every founder needs to understand before launching in retail.
You’ll learn:
- Why flexibility is your biggest competitive advantage in retail
- How to reframe your brand story so it actually drives sales
- What happens when buyer feedback clashes with your creative vision
- How to prepare for last-minute changes without losing your sanity
- Why performance beats perfection every time
Whether you’re preparing for your first retail pitch or knee-deep in buyer revisions, this episode will give you the real-world perspective you won’t find in your typical brand course.
