(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Retail Dive, CVS is increasing Pokémon and collectibles assortment in beauty and seasonal categories heading into the holiday season.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if a major retail chain expands your category shelf, it's not because of social media. It's because the previous quarter's sales justified it. If you sell a collectible, limited edition, or seasonal product, track velocity per door and average ticket. When a single store or region runs hot, bring that data to your retail partner's category manager with a reorder. Don't pitch marketing; pitch turns. Retailers buy shelf based on category profit per square foot, not hype.\nWhat that means for you: CVS isn't suddenly trendy. They're not followers. They saw Pokémon sell faster than the beauty products occupying that space, pulled the data, and made the move. That's how retail works. If you have a product that's hitting in one region or one door, stop making content and start making the case to your retail partner's buying desk. Show them the turns, the margin, the customer count. That's what gets shelf expanded.\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 — Retail Dive: https://www.retaildive.com/news/cvs-pokemon-collectibles-beauty-seasonal/872755/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
