(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMo's Coffee, an Australian challenger brand, is expanding into Canadian retailers by leading with brand story and origin narrative, per strategyonline.ca.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): before you pitch a retailer, tell the retailer's category manager the brand story in the media. Mo's did not cold-call — they got press in Canada's trade outlet, which gave retail partners a reason to say yes. This week: identify 3 regional or specialty retailers in your category. Pitch a story angle to a local business journalist or trade publication that ties your brand to the region. When that story runs, send it to the retailer with a note: 'We are already in your customer's media environment. You can stock us or watch them shop elsewhere.' The press clipping becomes your sales tool.\nWhat that means for you: Mo's Coffee understood that Canadian retailers do not know an Australian brand. The only way to make them care is to put the brand in front of their customers first, through media. Once the customer asks for it, the retailer says yes. It is the oldest play in retail — the retailer follows demand, not leads it. Most small brands try to convince the retailer; winners convince the customer first.\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 — strategyonline.ca: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMickFVX3lxTE5fSVkxcEF1eUsxWDNXTG5KTTVYSTZpbVhobFJpZHp2eEpHTklKODhnZEtlZEp0Wmk4WUh0ejJPbnoxeDhMYTFpMC1JMF9JU0JPa1.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
