(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nHollister's first significant U.S. wholesale and category expansion through Target performed above expectations, reached new customers, and contributed to Q2 results, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when you're unknown in a category, rent the traffic. Target's home section already has buyers looking for products like yours; putting your label on a shelf next to proven sellers transfers their trust to you. Hollister didn't have to build awareness—Target's signage and placement did.

You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/fashion/hollister-target-new-customers-home-expansion/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
