MOST D2C BRANDS UNDER-PRICE THEIR PRODUCTS
The reflexive reaction to competitive markets is to reduce price. This is almost always the wrong move. Under-pricing compresses margins, increases CAC (because margins determine how much you can spend to acquire customers), and signals lower quality to premium buyers. The brands scaling past $5M consistently price on value — not cost-plus or competitive benchmarks.
