(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer EINPresswire, Highlight LA announced representation of the Anne Rice Estate for global retail, wholesale, and licensing expansion, positioning the \"Godmother of Goth\" property across retail channels.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you own or control a story IP (even a small cult following), the retail path is three-pronged at once: find specialty retail partners who serve your audience (goth/darkwave boutiques, literary merchandise partners), set up wholesale terms, and license to CPG and apparel makers. You don't build the product; you license the IP to 3–5 manufacturers and take a percentage. Anne Rice fans will buy Anne Rice perfume, Anne Rice apparel, Anne Rice collectibles—not because the product is new, but because the story is sacred. License the story, not the product.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands try to build demand. Highlight LA is working backward: demand already exists (Anne Rice fans are intense). The move is to put the IP in every channel at once—retail, wholesale, licensing—and let fans find it everywhere. This is the opposite of scarcity; it's omnipresence. If you have a cult following or a story people are obsessed with, don't start with a product. Start by licensing your IP to manufacturers and letting them handle the production. You just police the brand.\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 — EINPresswire: https://www.postcrescent.com/press-release/story/57985/highlight-la-launches-global-retail-wholesale-and-licensing-expansion-for-the-anne-rice/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
