(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPeer-to-peer resale platform Depop centered music in its marketing strategy by collaborating on drops with artists including Zara Larsson and Olivia Rodrigo, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): resale platforms win on community, not on price.
