(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nIbotta's 2026 State of Spend Report documented that 62% of shoppers now prioritize price over brand when making purchase decisions, reshaping how CPG brands must approach trial and loyalty.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): stop building brand loyalty and start building switching friction. The brands winning here are not lowering prices — they're bundling to raise the perceived value per dollar. A $15 bundle (three units at a nominal discount) moves faster than a single unit at $5.99 because the bundled unit looks like a bulk win, which satisfies the price-seeker's brain without a race to the bottom. Run a limited bundle test in a single channel this week; measure attach rate, not margin per unit. The goal is velocity at a justified price, not a cheaper price.\nWhat that means for you: The death of brand loyalty is real, but it's not because consumers are heartless — it's because they can see everything now. A decade ago, you could build loyalty through consistency and hope people didn't shop around. Now everyone shops around before checkout. The win is accepting that and building bundles that feel smarter, not cheaper. A three-pack marketed as 'stock up' beats 'on sale' every time because the customer still feels like they won, and you still hold margin.\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 — Business Wire: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMimAJBVV95cUxNSGN0WFZ6bTU5a1VyUWRUT2Z3V0VTazVoRGtCa190akUtUnhvQ3ZtOXVLVFRlSWgwVTdqTTJnU3U4Wng2Y0RNM3lQNjhRZXpLbkRxaXVYOHFXY0dyaUVzLVlaeC1TUURsMTBEakVqR241QUxyeW5xbGpQWkJVcG5KdXFoVTZPSmFGbmVGQTFKVUNZQ2Z5S3REd003cHdIcUxrZzlBTGtPcDc2ZDZuaXBZYXFSRmctU192dG1GQ1djUXdXR3hLVldUVzZBOTdzZzl0LWNzbUlEOEdNQjl6UjhaQVYzS2RTX0NhaUNGcGlQWEI1UDd3Q001ZVNwWEx6RWYyd01NWkZ1cmd4dllzVmh5aFBBc2w3MTNY?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
