(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nEtsy launched a 'Shop Other Jeffs' campaign timed to Amazon Prime Day, per Retail Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): competing on features is noisy during Prime Day. Etsy competed on identity—they framed Etsy sellers as the alternative to Amazon, not as a separate category. The campaign's power sits in naming—saying 'Other Jeffs' is permission for a seller to switch without shame. It's tribal. Direct-to-consumer brands running seasonal campaigns should apply this: instead of talking about what you offer, talk about what audience you're stealing from and why. Name the incumbent. Name the moment. Make it obvious that picking your brand is a choice, not a consolation.\nWhat that means for you: Most campaigns whisper. Etsy shouted a competitor's name and won attention during their peak. The brilliance isn't the campaign; it's the timing and directness. Prime Day is Amazon's moment, which makes it Etsy's moment to recruit.\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 — Retail Dive: https://www.retaildive.com/news/etsy-marketing-campaign-amazon-prime-day-shop-other-jeffs/823118/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
