(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nLuxury brands are closing smaller stores and consolidating spend into larger flagship locations, exacerbated by store closures due to unrest in France, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): this applies to any physical brand at scale. Do not open a second location in a similar tier market. Open in a tier above, or do not open at all. A second Manhattan location for a New York brand is a mistake; a flagship in Tokyo or London is a strategic move. For smaller brands testing retail, skip the secondary market pop-up and go to a primary market for one big event. The dwell time, the press, and the customer quality in a flagship city are worth more than six months of volume in a mid-size market.\nWhat that means for you: This is a luxury move, but it applies to anyone with physical presence. The temptation is to grow by adding locations; the real lever is to concentrate presence in the highest-perception locations. A pop-up in Soho for a week outperforms a booth in ten secondary markets. The buyer in a primary market has higher LTV, higher repeat rate, and is more likely to carry the brand socially. Luxury brands are showing us the playbook: go big in the right place or do not go at all.\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/fashion/luxury/luxury-briefing-prada-kering-hermes-store-strategy/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
