It’s not that simple. I’m not defending the extremely high margins on some luxury products like Balenciaga, but the reality is there are many hidden costs for the Nike & Apple of the world that customers never see and factories never bear. One of the biggest expenses in the P&L is retail real estate. example, a Nike flagship store can easily pay over $50K per month in rent; even outside major cities. In major cities, that number can exceed $100K, all to maintain brand presence. The same applies to Apple. Retail operations are a core part of the brand and represent a significant share of total expenses. What these factories ads on TikTok create is short term chaos none long term solution lol … people will flock to them and many will be disappointed.. not saying everyone Flocking towards shiny new toy will automatically result on a rug lol sorry I’m digressing 😂😎

Having too low margins will just kill your brand… And also if people can afford it, why not selling them to a high price Retailers often kill small brands while asking low margin + high quantities If the Price is really What matters then those people should by from second hand
