If Iran is shooting ballistic missiles at you, don’t be an idiot and film it from your balcony.

Just got a reality check from our manufacturer 😬 The China tariffs we've been hearing about for months just landed on our doorstep… Our COGS are going up 15% for all materials sourced from China. That's a significant hit to margins in an already challenging environment. I'm curious how other DTC/CPG brands are navigating this new landscape. Are you: - Absorbing the costs and taking the margin hit? - Raising prices to maintain margins? - Expediting your search for alternative suppliers? - Rethinking your product formulations? This feels like just the beginning, and I'd love to hear what strategies you're implementing to stay ahead of these challenges. After building Obvi through supply chain disruptions, iOS changes, and COVID, I thought we'd seen it all. But this macro landscape keeps throwing new challenges our way.
