quite the 'TikTok trend' with the OEM factories taking to TikTok to show how much it costs for the world's top brands to actually make anything.

5 to 15X markup for brands like Nike and Adidas, and now these factories want to sell direct to consumers.

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 😂😎

I 💯 agree with you!

was just illustrating the trend, which is "interesting" but obviously meant to undermine the brands, rather than provide solutions
