Focuses on the psychology (why scarcity and anticipation actually work on shoppers) rather than just the tactics, which matters if you want to adapt the drop model to your category instead of copying it literally. Good pairing with the more tactical Indigo9 piece.

  • Useful for deciding whether your category can credibly support drop psychology
