Identify repeatable product cohorts
Review content, orders, refunds and delivery for products with evidence of demand. Separate a one-off viral post from repeated results across creators or time periods. Compare like-for-like cohorts.
Retain productive relationships
Plan replenishment, suitable new products and relevant briefs for reliable creators. Keep commission changes sustainable. Communication and stock failures can interrupt a promising relationship even when the audience fits.
Expand within operating capacity
Forecast samples, sellable stock and customer-service work for the next cohort. Keep sample inventory separate from promised customer inventory. Correct dispatch or returns constraints before increasing invitations or amplification.
Summary
Expand one cohort at a time and compare delivered contribution with the previous cohort.
