Here’s the game-changer most brands miss: while everyone scrambles to outspend on ads, the fastest-growing Shopify merchants are unlocking new profit by treating fulfillment and under-the-radar channels as their core growth engines—not just backend headaches.

Inside, you’ll get founder-to-founder takeaways and tactical frameworks:

• Podcast deep dive with ShipMonk’s Aras Kolya: Discover why Dr. Squatch and Brooklinen treat fulfillment as a revenue driver. Learn the secret behind running 500 to 100,000+ orders a month with one inventory pool, AI-powered routing, and a real-time “control tower” that cuts chaos and boosts margins—so you can scale, not scramble, during peak season.

• Knowledge Drops this week break down the realities of selling on Temu and Shein. Forget the hype—get the inside edge on using these marketplaces to offload slow-moving SKUs, test bundles, blast through excess inventory, and reach impulse-buy audiences—while protecting your core brand, price walls, and margin.

• Steal the marketplace playbooks: Run flash sales on Temu to clear dead stock, benchmark CAC across Shein’s 500M+ buyers, and plug-and-play with Shopify for hands-free scaling. The most disciplined operators use real-time analytics from these channels to optimize DTC offers and never get undercut on price.

• Tool of the Week: The anonymous-visitor revenue recovery engine trusted by 500+ leading brands. Early adopters are turning up to 50% of their ghost traffic into qualified leads (with no pop-ups or friction), averaging $1.3M+ in recovered sales and 48x ROI—all with 15-minute setup, a 4x ROI guarantee, and Fastlane-exclusive discounts.

If you’re ready to stop fighting over the same ad impressions and start capitalizing on operational levers that quietly compound growth and margins, this edition is packed with frameworks and next-move strategies you can implement before your competitors even know what hit them.
