(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, K-beauty brands are expanding beyond traditional beauty categories into menstrual products, fragrance, and broader wellness offerings.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you have built brand authority in one category, test expansion into adjacent categories where your core buyer is already shopping. K-beauty works because the customer who trusts K-beauty skincare also trusts K-beauty fragrance because they share ingredient language and ritual. Do not expand into unrelated categories. Expand into categories your core buyer wants to buy from the same brand. Start with a limited capsule in an adjacent category, measure repeat-purchase rate across both, then scale.\nWhat that means for you: if you have built brand authority in one category, test expansion into adjacent categories where your core buyer is already shopping. K-beauty works because the customer who trusts K-beauty skincare also trusts K-beauty fragrance because they share ingredient language and ritual. Do not expand into unrelated categories. Expand into categories your core buyer wants to buy from the same brand. Start with a limited capsule in an adjacent category, measure repeat-purchase rate across both, then scale.\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 — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/beauty/beauty-briefing-from-tampons-to-fragrance-k-beauty-is-everywhere/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
