(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nGlossy reported Hollister is using Target as a customer acquisition channel, extending beyond its core apparel business into new categories via a major retail partner.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): use wholesale as customer acquisition, not just revenue. Most brands see wholesale as a margin trade-off. Hollister sees it as an ad spend displacement. They're paying Target's markup in exchange for access to millions of eyes in a context where the customer is already shopping and receptive. Run this week: identify one mass-market retailer your target customer visits regularly but your brand hasn't secured shelf space in. Map the customer overlap. Approach that retailer's buyer with one idea: limited SKU test, 90-day window, bundled with a brand-exclusive offer or size/color that's unique to that channel only. Make it easy for them to say yes by giving them something their other suppliers can't.\nWhat that means for you: Most DTC brands see Walmart or Target as the 'sell-out' moment — proof they're too big to stay small. Hollister flipped it: proof they're small enough to still find new customers in places that already have billions in traffic. The math is simple: one shopper in Target beats a thousand impressions on TikTok if the shopper is already in a buying mood.\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: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiggFBVV95cUxQTFNvOWI0U3VlbG9YR1NFa0JwTVBEcGgyQ3hnM0Z2NnZGOThkVTZkUGRFdkhpVzNzUE1PZzdhaVBnUTFkM2lWM3VRWFJhM3MyTl.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
