(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMalin + Goetz launched its Tomato candle in 2020, and the product continues to drive sales momentum as the vegetal scent trend sustains, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not chase every trend; instead, move fast on a single trend you believe has legs and then hold it through the plateau. Malin + Goetz is still selling tomato fragrance in 2024 because they committed to it in 2020 and built inventory and shelf loyalty around it. The move is restraint, not rotation. Most brands would have launched tomato, saw the buzz fade on TikTok, and moved to the next thing. Malin + Goetz held and now owns the shelf position as the tomato reference brand.\nWhat that means for you: The luxury of being early in a trend is that you can afford to stay in it longer than the followers. By the time everyone else realizes tomato is sticking around, you've already built repeat buyers and wholesale relationships. The lesson is counterintuitive: pick one trend that resonates with your brand DNA, move fast, and then have the patience to watch slower operators chase the next thing while you harvest tomato sales for years.\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/at-malin-goetz-tomato-girl-summer-is-still-going-strong/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
