(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMcKinsey noted that brands using intellectual property (IP)—characters, franchises, storytelling—in location-based retail environments see higher foot traffic and price tolerance from consumers.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your brand has a narrative (founder story, animal mascot, origin legend), build one small experiential moment tied to it—not a full pop-up, one moment. A mirror that shows your product's origin, a photo backdrop with your brand's character, a single-use sampler tied to a ritual. Price the foot traffic and the moment higher than the equivalent shelf sale. The IP is the justification.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands treat experiential as a cost center—'let's do a pop-up for awareness.' McKinsey is saying the reverse: experiential is a pricing lever. The brands winning in 2026 are the ones that figured out how to charge more for the experience, not less. That's the whole thesis.\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 — McKinsey & Company: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiuwFBVV95cUxNRlFDVEJicmlrLWhPQmJoSzIwOVhOVms1dHNfNXlXNEdPNGxBaGRLWEFBcTUwWGJrVkhLaWUzdFp0T0RLc0UyTkRrZG5vMzhtSUd5bXczcTNBX3pXMXFoVHFDYU5GekFKdkpuNDhVWEwwTGYyS1A3azNXSk4tSHFLSmE4R2RFNjE0MkRmcGVOM21HMWVUblJMOFUzdXNUcWQ4bDBZOW41RWQxNUVEdF9PS041NGxKNGRGRlI4?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
