(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nCrayola introduced an 'All Grown Up' adult coloring line featuring markers and artist-designed coloring books, per PRNewswire.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not defend your original user — expand into the adult version of your category. Crayola owns the emotional memory of coloring. Adults buy coloring for mindfulness and art. Use the same product name, same brand equity, new packaging and collaborator names. Ship to bookstores and art supply retailers, not toy aisles. The brand becomes bigger without diluting the original.\nWhat that means for you: This is the opposite of getting old. Crayola recognized that the people who used crayons as kids now have disposable income and search for ways to slow down. Instead of fighting TikTok for their attention, the brand made a product for their hands. The coloring book market is warm — adults spend real money on it. Crayola just claimed shelf space in a channel they've never owned before by naming the same thing their parents bought them, grown up.\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 — PRNewswire: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/crayola-introduces-all-grown-up-adult-coloring-line-featuring-markers-and-artist-designed-coloring-books-302800873.html.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes. That's literally what we do →\nhttps://www.pops4.com/vip?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=stash",
