(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nQuince, a direct-from-manufacturer online retailer that reached a $10 billion valuation, is testing physical retail through pop-up stores while maintaining its core DTC model.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): pop-ups are not a path to permanent retail; they are conversion tests for your DTC customer. Quince is asking: does a person who visits the pop-up spend more on the website afterward? Does she refer friends? The pop-up is the ad your DTC customer gets to walk through. For a DTC brand: run a pop-up in a high-traffic market (mall, street, airport) for 2–4 weeks, capture email and SMS, then measure whether that cohort's online AOV or LTV lifts 6 weeks post-pop-up.

You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/podcasts/glossy-podcast-quince-head-of-brand-strategy-dakota-kate-isaacs-on-how-the-brand-is-capitalizing-on-its-10b-valuation/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
