(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nHollister is acquiring new customers through Target as it expands beyond traditional apparel, per glossy.co, using the mass-retail channel to reach shoppers outside its core demographic.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you have a DTC brand with tight margins, approach a big-box retailer (Target, Walmart, Whole Foods) not for volume but for first-time buyer access. Offer them exclusivity on a single SKU or subcategory. The retail partner gets a new product line; you get access to millions of shoppers you couldn't afford to reach via paid media. A portion convert back to your owned channel. This is net-new customer acquisition at a lower CAC than performance marketing.\nWhat that means for you: Most DTC founders see big retail as a compromise — a step backward. Hollister sees it as a customer-acquisition channel. That's the shift. You don't go to Target to make margin; you go to find buyers you can't afford to own otherwise. Then you own the relationship from there.\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 — glossy.co: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiggFBVV95cUxQTFNvOWI0U3VlbG9YR1NFa0JwTVBEcGgyQ3hnM0Z2NnZGOThkVTZkUGRFdkhpVzNzUE1PZzdhaVBnUTFkM2lWM3VRWFJhM3MyTldDRXBGUEMwYlJpYlp3MWg4TkpNRzRGSEZSNmRhclpOYWJEaXZVNUluY21GLUdnZ01R?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
