→ Single-channel risk.
It’s a massive liability, often overlooked.
Examples:
• Content creators using only Instagram
• Wholesalers selling to a single major retailer
• Services companies relying solely on Google ads
• Subscription boxes using only influencer marketing
• D2C brands dependent on Meta for all customer acquisition
• Coffee shops counting exclusively on neighbourhood foot traffic
The list goes on.
Beyond being operationally risky, no serious acquirer will consider buying a business with single-channel risk.
Treat your business like your investment portfolio.
Diversify your channels.
