(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nBath & Body Works expanded its partnership with Ulta Beauty to all Ulta stores for the holiday season, per Retail Dive, shifting from a limited test to full-store rollout.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): instead of defending your own retail footprint during holidays, rent the foot traffic of a higher-frequency beauty retailer. Bath & Body Works does not compete with Ulta on cosmetics; they sit adjacent. The full-store rollout means every Ulta shopper sees the brand at point-of-sale when they're already in transaction mode.
