Merch drop

A drop concentrates buying. Instead of a permanent store selling a few items a week, you announce a date, open for a short window or a fixed run, then close. Scarcity and a deadline do work a standing shop cannot, and the announcement itself gives you something to make videos about. It solves a practical problem too, since a limited run can be manufactured to order instead of sitting in stock. The costs are real. A drop that undershoots leaves people annoyed at missing out, one that overshoots leaves you with boxes, and the whole model depends on an audience paying enough attention to catch the window.
