(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 targeting fitness-focused consumers on Strava (the fitness-tracking social network) and amplifying the message through social media channels where the audience actually lives.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): announce product news on the platform your core audience uses outside of general social. Strava users are there because they care about fitness performance, not because they're scrolling for deals. A reformulation message that emphasizes performance recovery lands in context there. Don't announce on Instagram and hope fitness people see it; go to Strava, Reddit fitness communities, or Peloton-adjacent platforms where the audience is already thinking about the problem your product solves.\nWhat that means for you: This is niche-platform thinking at scale. Dove Men+Care didn't just post the reformulation on the usual channels. They went to Strava because that's where their most engaged audience already congregates around fitness and recovery. It's a small play but it shows the pattern: announcement platforms matter more than audience size. A smaller, relevant audience on Strava beats a big, distracted audience on Instagram.\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?
