Ibotta is saying the majority of buyers don't care about your story — they care about their receipt. For physical-product brands, that means your packaging, your shelf position, and your first-time discount matter more than the influencer content. If 62% are hunting price, your email should lead with the deal, not the narrative. Bundle aggressively, use loss-leader SKUs to capture the buyer, then cross-sell on repeat.\n\nMy Stash Take on what it means for the rest of us →\nhttps://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/t/li/ibotta-2026-06-10t21-3\n→ Your Stash Room — your logo, live pricing, ships blind: https://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/r/li/ibotta-2026-06-10t21-3\n→ Proper imprints, done right at POPS4: https://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/s/li/ibotta-2026-06-10t21-3",

(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 documents that 62% of shoppers now prioritize price over brand loyalty, forcing CPG brands to rethink trial and retention tactics, per Business Wire.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if 62% of buyers are price-first, you don't defend margin with brand story — you attack share with bundling and unit pricing transparency. Run a bundle test: take your highest-margin SKU and pair it with a loss-leader or break-even product at a discounted combo price. Market the bundle price point (e.g., 'Two for $X'), not the individual margins. You move volume, lower CAC per unit, and capture the price-seeker's wallet before they flip to a competitor.\nWhat that means for you: This data is a gut-punch to brand-first thinking. Ibotta is saying the majority of buyers don't care about your story — they care about their receipt. For physical-product brands, that means your packaging, your shelf position, and your first-time discount matter more than the influencer content. If 62% are hunting price, your email should lead with the deal, not the narrative. Bundle aggressively, use loss-leader SKUs to capture the buyer, then cross-sell on repeat.\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/CBMimAJBVV95cUxNSGN0WFZ6bTU5a1VyUWRUT2Z3V0VTazVoRGtCa190akUtUnhvQ3ZtOXVLVFRlSWgwVTdqTTJnU3U4Wng2Y0RNM3lQNjhRZXpLbk.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
