(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nGlossy+ Research found that brands' focus on owned channels is wavering for the 2026 holiday season, with shifts back toward paid social and marketplace selling, per Glossy on October 26, 2026.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not abandon email and your site for holiday. Treat your owned channel as the loyalty machine, not the acquisition engine. Spend on TikTok Shop and Facebook ads to drive first purchase, then use email and SMS to move that buyer to repeat. The holidays favor the channel where you can reach cold buyers fast — that is marketplace and paid social. Your site is where you keep them after the sale.\nWhat that means for you: The DTC indie brand movement promised that owned channels would win. For holiday 2026, they are not. Brands are reallocating toward TikTok Shop, Amazon, and paid social because those channels have reach when you need it. But the brands that win are the ones that do not abandon email — they use it to convert the repeat purchase and the lifetime value. Owned channels are not dead; they are just not the growth engine in October and November.\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/research/glossy-research-brands-focus-on-owned-channels-wavers-for-the-2026-holiday-season/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
