(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, Target has recently added TikTok-favorite bedding brand Mellow Sleep and other buzzy direct-to-consumer brands to its home category in order to help revive flat sales in that section.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're a mid-size DTC brand with 50k+ engaged TikTok or Instagram followers and you sell home, beauty, fitness, or wellness products, Target (and likely Walmart, Amazon Fresh) are actively seeking you out for shelf placement. The pitch is not 'we're a big brand'—it's 'we have a community.' Prepare a one-page brief: TikTok follower count, engagement rate, average order value, repeat customer rate, and why your audience trusts you. DM Target's marketplace business development team. Retail chains are looking for this exact profile now.\nWhat that means for you: This is a quiet signal: retailers are no longer waiting for a brand to scale to millions in revenue before they grant shelf space. They're buying proof of audience. Mellow Sleep did not need to hit $50 million in DTC revenue to get into Target—they needed to prove they had followers who bought from them consistently. If you have 100k engaged followers and ROAS above 2:1, you have the data to pitch retail. That's the entry point now, not the exit point.\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: https://www.modernretail.co/operations/target-bets-on-buzzy-tiktok-brands-like-mellow-sleep-to-revamp-its-home-category/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
