The growth sequence / our inference

How BallereTTe's loop likely runs.

Built from the public tactics above. It is a reading of the mechanism, not the brand's internal strategy, and seeing a tactic doesn't prove it caused growth.

    Choose ballet flat and size

  2. 02

    Keep pair

  3. 03

    Another occasion/colour

  4. 04

    In-store or online purchase
