(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAnthropologie began carrying Nike sneakers in-store, capitalizing on a documented ~30% increase in footwear shopping among its customer base, per Glossy reporting.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): don't build the category yourself if a known brand will lease the shelf. Anthropologie saw demand rising (~30% per Glossy) and solved it by making room for Nike, not by hiring a shoe designer. This is called co-tenancy in retail — you bring in a brand that attracts your customer and splits the risk. Brands with rising adjacent-category demand should court an established player in that category and offer them floor space at wholesale or consignment. You get the traffic; they get the real estate.\nWhat that means for you: The real move here isn't 'add shoes.' It's 'we see demand in a category we don't own, so we called someone who does and offered them our floor.' That's how a apparel brand becomes a lifestyle destination without hiring 30 people. Most product brands try to own every category they touch. Smarter play: own the customer, license the category.\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?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
