(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 prioritize price over brand loyalty, forcing CPG brands to rethink how they drive trial and retain customers.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if 62% of shoppers are price-first, your first sale is not about convincing them your brand is better — it's about letting them try you at a lower entry point than a full-size SKU. Run a small-pack test, bundle with a staple at a discount, or seed a trial size at checkout. The buyer who tries at 30% off is more likely to return at full price than the buyer who never tries at all.\nWhat that means for you: This hits different because it's not \"consumers are price-sensitive\" — everyone knows that. This is the hard data that price is now the PRIMARY decision gate, not a tiebreaker. Brands that are still betting on story, sustainability, or health claims first are already losing shelf velocity. The unglamorous truth: your product has to be good enough, but the trial is bought with price. The smart move this week is to audit your entry-point SKU. If you don't have one, you're leaving 62% of buyers at the door.\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/CBMimAJBVV95cUxNSGN0WFZ6bTU5a1VyUWRUT2Z3V0VTazVoRGtCa190akUtUnhvQ3ZtOXVLVFRlSWgwVTdqTTJnU3U4Wng2Y0RNM3lQNjhRZXpLbkRxaXVYOHFXY0dyaUVzLVlaeC1TUURsMTBEakVqR243QUxyeW5xbGpQWkJVcG5KdXFoVTZPSmFGbmVGQTFKVUNZQ2Z5S3REd003cHdIcUxrZzlBTGtPcDc2ZDZuaXBZYXFSRmctU192dG1GQ1djUXdXR3hLVldUVzZBOTdzZzl0LWNzbUlEOEdNQjl6UjhaQVYzS2RTX0NhaUNGcGlQWEI1UDd3Q001ZVNwWEx6RWYyd01NWkZ1cmd4dllzVmh5aFBBc2w3MTNY?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
