(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nTarget's Pokémon collaboration remained in stock at a low price point ($10 starting), per TODAY.com, keeping the barrier to entry low and enabling repeat purchase.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when you license IP or partner with a known character, resist the urge to premium-price it as a collectible. Price the entry point low enough ($10 or under) that a customer feels comfortable buying 2-3 units per trip. The customer who spends $30 on Pokémon items once is less valuable than the customer who visits three times because the price point makes it a casual, repeatable purchase. Velocity beats margin on licensed products. Run this: if you're selling a licensed or branded object, test a $10 or $15 price for the starter SKU and watch the repeat-visit rate flip.\nWhat that means for you: Target could have priced Pokémon stuff at $25-$40 and called it a collectible. Instead, they made it cheap enough that kids and parents buy it as impulse items. The genius is not the IP — it's the price. A $10 Pokémon item feels like a casual purchase. A $30 one feels like you're collecting. Casual purchases repeat. Collections sit in cupboards. If you're working with a licensed brand or character, price the entry low. You make more money on volume and repeat visits than you do on margin.\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 — TODAY.com: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMia0FVX3lxTE9PdVJVLUh2STRrZU5hZFFUaHA0QTNaYTNkLWxwcjVfd0pwMXpNRmplek9ieDQ0V2k1OXU0ZXFfNUtHTzdwLW1JQW8zdU02a29sYUYyYnNnYVlCcWYtYS1QY0htUDVzMkQ2WlNZ?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
