    - Unit economics - like individual Lego building blocks that make up the overall profitability picture
    - Revenue per unit
    - Any cost during making and selling
    - Connected to gross margin.

    - What makes it improve?
        - Increase price
        - Decrease variable expense
        - Cost of product
            - produce in bulk
            - cut costs where customers don’t mind (value engineering)
        - shipping
            - negotiate better rates

        - advertising & commission
            - Sell to existing audience
            - Partner with other brands to sell to their customer
