(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 through Strava and social media, targeting the athletic community, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when you reformulate or launch a product feature that appeals to a niche (fitness, recovery, specific skin type, activity), don't announce it on Instagram. Go to the platform where that niche already congregates and solves that problem. Strava users are already thinking about skin, sweat, and product recovery. Announce there first. The conversion rate from Strava to a reformulated men's care product is likely 5-10x higher than from a broad social feed.\nWhat that means for you: This is the oldest play in the playbook, but almost nobody runs it anymore. Find the platform where your buyer is already hanging out and thinking about your problem. Strava is where runners and cyclists debrief and compare recovery notes. That is the place to announce a reformulation that touches sweat and skin. Most brands launch on Instagram and hope the right person scrolls by. Dove went to where the right person already was.\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?
