(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Modern Retail and Retail Dive, major retailers are adding experiential elements for the 2026 holiday — QVC's mega lives, Macy's revamped Santaland, and Bath & Body Works' new store concept — to drive foot traffic and dwell time.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the store is your event space. If you have a physical location or a pop-up window, build one experiential anchor — a live demo, a makeover station, a photo-worthy installation — that is not available online. It does not need to be huge; it needs to be worth the trip. The play: plan one experiential hook for your holiday season. Announce it in October, build FOMO around it, and measure success not by sales in that moment but by social mentions and foot traffic uplift. Capture emails from visitors and retarget them with online offers post-season.\nWhat that means for you: The stores that are winning are not winning on selection or price. They're winning on 'you have to come see this.' Macy's Santaland is not about buying ornaments; it's about taking a photo your kids will remember. QVC's mega lives are not about watching a demo; they're about being part of a broadcast event. Bath & Body Works' new concept is not about buying more lotion; it's about feeling like you're inside their brand. That's the shift. Retail is becoming theater, not just a checkout.\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 — Modern Retail & Retail Dive: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/how-qvc-is-building-a-flywheel-across-tiktok-and-tv-ahead-of-the-holidays/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
