Will shoppers still follow where athleisure leads?
💡 D2C Takeaway: The athleisure boom is maturing. Growth now depends on differentiation through new materials, categories, and design innovation.
💡 Operator POV: Don’t coast on past wins. Evolve your hero product and test lifestyle-performance hybrids to stay ahead of the curve.
Online holiday discounts expected to remain flat
💡 D2C Takeaway: Blanket discounts are losing impact. Brands that focus on loyalty and retention will drive longer-term gains.
💡 Operator POV: Use smaller, targeted offers for your best customers. Protect your pricing power and lean on brand value over volume.
Quick hits and resources from around the industry we think are worth your time this week.

How to Use AI in DTC Tech Stacks: Practical Guide for Brands
LLMs, Large Language Models, now synonymous with AI, are incredibly powerful tools. But if you don't know what you're using them for, you'll end up causing a good deal of harm. Think like using a backhoe to spackle drywall.
Grüns is shaking up the supplement aisle with a product that’s equal parts science, flavor, and brand magic. Instead of powders or pills, they deliver once-a-day gummy squares packed with greens, reds, adaptogens, prebiotics, and nootropics, designed for people who want all the benefits without the blender.
Why we love Grüns: They nailed what most supplement brands miss, habit-building. By simplifying routines and removing friction, Grüns turns daily nutrition into a craveable ritual. That’s a masterclass in retention design.
Smart product strategy: Each square delivers 70+ nutrients in a format that’s easy to take, fun to share, and perfect for recurring purchase behavior. It’s wellness built for the subscription era.
Brand differentiation: Grüns’ vibrant identity, playful copy, and transparent science make it feel more like a modern food brand than a clinical supplement. That aesthetic shift drives trust and brand stickiness among younger consumers.
