(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAnthropologie, historically a home and apparel brand, is launching Nike sneakers in response to a nearly 30% increase in sneaker shopper traffic, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): follow customer behavior, not your original product plan. Anthropologie's data showed more sneaker searches and visits; rather than interpret that as 'we should make sneakers,' they asked 'which brand does our customer already buy?' The answer was Nike. Partner with a brand that passes your quality bar, negotiate a wholesale deal, and fill a demand gap. A physical-product brand in apparel can test this with a single collaborating brand in a new category—shoes, accessories, tech, home. Watch your customer search and cart-add behavior for six months. If 25%+ are looking for a category you don't own, source from a trusted brand and test a 20-SKU drop. If it moves, expand it.\nWhat that means for you: This is the opposite of 'stay in your lane.' Anthropologie stayed in their customer's lane, not their product lane. They let behavior, not ego, decide their next move. Most brands see a 30% uptick in category X and think 'we should make category X.' Smarter brands think 'which established player in category X does our customer already prefer?' and then partner. This week: pull your last 90 days of search queries on your site. What are people looking for that you don't sell? Pick the top three. Then identify the brand your customer would buy if you didn't exist.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Glossy: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMipAFBVV95cUxOc240OUY1SE1FZ3JEcnBYdVlodUk2bmhFMWgxVGMtNDFjc1duUzloUkNWOFJrVEIzSURQUlF5blFEUnNVSE5JdXpEVkFvQndya3hhVDBfamQ2czFxalFSTGFDWXAyRXBYaHliUTdaa0l3Q3VycTk5SmUzWE9xdnl0ejhvVU9PSWZZamxzcUctWlVkTXNDZU11RUp0UDlmazczdThSTg.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
