(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAnthropologie is upscaling its beauty business with expanded assortment and in-store beauty installations, per Modern Retail, betting on rising customer demand for the category within its existing store footprint.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): most brands launch a new category with new messaging in new space. Anthropologie used existing foot traffic and built the experience inside the store. If you own a physical location or a customer list, the question isn't 'should I add a category' — it's 'what complementary category can I install in the white space I already own.' In DTC: test a second product category as a dedicated section in your email, not a new list. Measure the lift in basket size from customers who land in both sections. If beauty install in a home-goods store works, then home install in a beauty store works — test the inverse of your core category.\nWhat that means for you: most brands launch a new category with new messaging in new space.

You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/operations/anthropologie-is-giving-its-beauty-business-a-makeover/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
