(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 trial and retention strategy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): stop building brand love in paid ads and start building purchase habit through rewards tied to repeat transaction. Ibotta data shows shoppers will choose a cheaper option unless you've already locked in the next order through a loyalty program. Build the rewards mechanic into your DTC checkout — offer 2% back on next order at point of purchase, not post-purchase. The psychology: the customer commits to return before they leave.\nWhat that means for you: This is not new, but Ibotta put a number on it — 62% — and that changes how you spend. If price is the deciding factor for most shoppers most of the time, then the brands winning are the ones who capture the repeat order, not the first impression. Loyalty programs used to feel optional. Now they're the primary product. Start 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 — Business Wire: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMimAJBVV95cUxNSGN0WFZ6bTU5a1VyUWRUT2Z3V0VTazVoRGtCa190akUtUnhvQ3ZtOXVLVFRlSWgwVTdqTTJnU3U4Wng2Y0RNM3lQNjhRZXpLbkRxaXVYOHFXY0dyaUVzLVlaeC1TUURsMTBEakVqR203QUxyeW5xbGpQWkJVcG5KdXFoVTZPSmFGbmVGQTFKVUNZQ2Z5S3REd003cHdIcUxrZzlBTGtPcDc2ZDZuaXBZYXFSRmctU192dG1GQ1djUXdXR3hLVldUVzZBOTdzZzl0LWNzbUlEOEdNQjl6UjhaQVYzS2RTX0NhaUNGcGlQWEI1UDd3Q001ZVNwWEx6RWYyd01NWkZ1cmd4dllzVmh5aFBBc2w3MTNY?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
