(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 found 62% of shoppers now choose price over brand, per Business Wire, reshaping how CPG brands drive trial and loyalty.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if 62% of your category is price-conscious, your first-time buyer discount should be deep — 40-50% off — not defensive. Treat it as acquisition. Once you own the first purchase data, you recover margin on reorder through email, subscription, or bundle upsells. This week: calculate the lifetime value of a customer you acquire at 50% off. If it's positive within 4 reorders, that's your price floor for trial. Run that price for 30 days and measure reorder velocity.\nWhat that means for you: The knee-jerk move is to compete on price forever. The smart move is to be the cheapest on first purchase and the most valuable on reorder. You're not discounting your brand; you're discounting the friction to try. Once they own the product, the story changes.\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/CBMimAJBVV95cUxNSGN0WFZ6bTU5a1VyUWRUT2Z3V0VTazVoRGtCa190akUtUnhvQ3ZtOXVLVFRlSWgwVTdqTTJnU3U4Wng2Y0RNM3lQNjhRZXpLbkRxaXVYOHFXY0dyaUVzLVlaeC1TUURsMTBEakVqR243QUxyeW5xbGpQWkJVcG5KdXFoVTZPSmFGbmVGQTFKVUNZQ2Z5S3REd001cHdIcUxrZzlBTGtPcDc2ZDZuaXBZYXFSRmctU192dG1GQ1djUXdXR3hLVldUVzZBOTdzZzl0LWNzbUlEOEdNQjl6UjhaQVYzS2RTX0NhaUNGcGlQWEI1UDd3Q001ZVNwWEx6RWYyd01NWkZ1cmd4dllzVmh5aFBBc2w3MTNY?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
