(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDove Men+Care promoted a product reformulation by partnering with Strava, the fitness-tracking app, and social media to reach athletic audiences, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when you reformulate a personal-care product, identify the behavior (not the demographic) that precedes purchase. Fitness tracking precedes shower routines. Seed product and messaging on the platform where that behavior happens first. Create a lightweight campaign on Strava (athlete spotlights, post-workout routine threads) before paid ads elsewhere. Measure if Strava-sourced buyers have higher repeat rates than non-Strava cohorts. If they do, keep allocating there.\nWhat that means for you: Dove didn't ask 'how do we reach men.' They asked 'where do men spend time before they shower, and what do they care about in that moment.' Strava. This is the smallest brands' edge: you can't outspend big beauty, but you can outthink where the buyer lives. A solopreneur brand could test this by seeding a post-workout grooming product on five fitness subreddits or Discord communities, measuring which cohort converts highest, then going deeper into that one.\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://www.marketingdive.com/news/dove-mencare-takes-to-strava-and-social-media-to-promote-reformulation/824351/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
