(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAnthropologie is launching Nike sneakers as part of an expansion strategy, with sneaker sales at the retailer increasing nearly 30% year-over-year, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): a category growing 30% in your retail account is a proof point for your distribution strategy, not a fluke. Anthropologie didn't build the demand; Nike already had it. But the *placement* in a non-endemic sneaker store created a halo effect — customers came to Anthropologie for home goods and discovered Nike. The mechanism: buyers don't shop by category; they shop by destination. If Nike shows up where it's not expected, foot traffic increases. Run this week: audit your retail partners' customer journeys — where do they spend time? If you sell a category that doesn't normally live there, pitch a small test assortment (20–50 units, one SKU). Track foot traffic and attach-rate. If it moves, expand. This works because discovery beats advertising.\nWhat that means for you: a category growing 30% in your retail account is a proof point for your distribution strategy, not a fluke.
