(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAcross the CPG industry, emerging challenger brands are using a combination of retail media partnerships and direct-to-consumer channels to accelerate growth, per reporting on CPG challenger-brand strategies and Solo Brands' diversified portfolio approach.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're launching a CPG product, don't choose retail OR direct — sequence them. Start with a targeted retail partnership (one to three stores, high-foot-traffic locations) to earn category credibility and shelf proof. Use that retail presence as marketing for your direct channel. Capture repeat customers directly, then use the direct-customer data to negotiate a larger retail rollout. The retail presence funds the direct audience; the direct audience funds retail expansion.\nWhat that means for you: This is the blueprint most emerging brands are running now. The mistake is treating them as competing channels instead of sequential ones. Retail validates; direct scales margins. You need both, but the order matters.\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 — Multiple sources: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a335f6816464afa9d5ab72901210490&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.msn.com%2fen-us%2fmoney%2fother%2fwhat-it-takes-to-grow-a-cpg-challenger-brand%2far-AA22jctI&c=10392811694883686850&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
