thetrevorcrump The Honest Company just exited DTC and it explains a lot about what’s happening in ecommerce right...
This Reel thumbnail is a DTC obituary in one frame. You’ve got a creator front and center, The Honest Company logo and products in the background, and a giant headline screaming “EXITS DTC.” That’s not drama, that’s a roadmap for where ecommerce is heading.
What The Image Is Quietly Screaming At DTC Brands
- Your founder’s face and your products matter less than the creator breaking the news.
- Big bold text beats fancy branding when customer attention is stupid expensive.
- DTC-only is fragile; the background logo hints you need multiple distribution channels.
- Creators are the new front door to retail shelves, not just to your Shopify store.
Brands Reading The Same Wake-Up Call
Glossier expanded from DTC into Sephora to tap retail traffic and reduce paid social dependence.
Warby Parker keeps DTC but doubled down on physical stores to stabilize acquisition costs.
