Minimum Advertised Price sounds like something cooked up by a committee of lawyers to keep you awake at night. And honestly, it kind of is. MAP, Minimum Advertised Price, is the lowest price a brand lets you advertise their product for. Not sell it for. Advertise it for.

Wholesalers aren’t running adoption agencies for dreamers. They don’t want to take a chance on you because you’re passionate and you’ve got a killer idea. They move truckloads of product every day and they’re allergic to risk. If you roll up with nothing but a Gmail address and a long story about your vision board, they’ll shut the door faster than…

Every seller wants better pricing. That’s obvious. The problem is that too many rookies treat negotiation like they’re hustling at a garage sale. They think if they argue hard enough or push long enough, suppliers will cave. That’s not how wholesale works. Try that, and you’ll just end up on the “do not answer” list.…
