(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDuer, a performance jeans brand based in Canada, is publishing a quarterly magazine called Interval to deepen customer engagement as print media resurges, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your repeat-customer retention rate is over 40%, test a quarterly print magazine mailed to cohorts of your best customers. Cost per magazine: $8–12 to print and ship. ROI: increased lifetime value from the intimacy of physical media + direct mail tracking + a tangible reason to unbox again. Brands chasing digital are overcrowded; the brand that shows up in print gets remembered.\nWhat that means for you: Duer is not trying to sell you a subscription to the magazine. They're using the magazine to sell you more jeans and make the brand feel like a community object instead of a transaction engine. This works because apparel customers love the brand story — they want to know where the stuff comes from, how it's made, what the founder thinks. A quarterly print object gives you a reason to tell that story without looking like you're selling.\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 — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/canadian-apparel-brand-duer-launches-a-print-magazine-as-analog-comes-back-in-style/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
