(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nChewy reported its retail media network doubled the number of campaigns and advertisers on the platform in a single year.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): your retail customers already pay for visibility. Stop selling them shelf space — sell them the audience data and transaction proof that comes with the shelf. Build a simple ad network inside your platform, price it at a fraction of what they'd spend on external media to reach the same buyer, and capture the margin. The doubled advertiser count means Chewy made the ask simple: better ROI, proven pet-buyer intent, no middleman.\nWhat that means for you: Most DTC brands think about retail media as something Amazon or Walmart does. Chewy proved it works in any vertical if you own enough of the transaction and the audience. A brand with 5,000 repeat customers in a tight niche can run this. You're not building a tech platform — you're packaging your customer data and order proof as a media buy, then letting brands compete for placements the way they already do in retail. This is how you turn your wholesale relationship into recurring SaaS revenue.\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 — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/inside-chewys-push-to-build-a-pet-focused-retail-media-network/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
