(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMarketing Dive documented 2026 Black Friday trends that are reshaping retail strategy, per the publication, indicating a broader shift away from across-the-board discounting toward scarcity-driven and experiential tactics.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): don't compete on percent-off in November. Test a scarcity offer instead: limited quantity available in the first 24 hours, exclusive color or bundle for Black Friday only, early-access passes for loyalty members, or a one-day-only SKU bundle. Run the scarcity offer alongside a smaller percentage discount on evergreen SKUs. Measure AOV and margin on the limited offer vs. the discounted one. Most brands will still offer 40% off; yours can hold 20% off on limited SKUs and beat their margins.\nWhat that means for you: Black Friday is the one day retailers think they have permission to cut margin to the bone. 2026 is the year some smart brands realized the opposite: scarcity moves volume without the margin displace. That shift from 'lowest price ever' to 'available nowhere else' is happening across retail right now. Most brands won't move until November. You can test it in March.\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 — Marketing Dive: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiqwFBVV95cUxPdThqNnZjbDJTSjFTRjBzSDZPaXM2MVpCd2kzeGtSVWc1SVhHQXVXZEtpd1ZJVmYyaTdzVS1pWkRtNjZjQnFsdW9UanlEQm5ncHFQT3A1a1IwX1ZyX1ZQdUpWclI3LVJVb1ZpZXgwb2pYSDRId3lCU0NpZ0JYdm1VTTNicmhsZnhnVHdVZmlmZFdia3VnVEpTYmtvanlhNk9PMVpTRVUyUU9tcHc?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
