(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, Rodan + Fields expanded beyond its Ulta partnership to Amazon, signaling a shift from affiliate-model roots to broader retail distribution and channel diversification.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not think of retail channels as competing for the same customer. Amazon shoppers and Ulta shoppers are different personas and purchase rituals. If you land a prestige retailer (Sephora, Ulta, Anthropologie), do not assume that is enough. Map your customer segments: Does a portion of your audience buy on convenience (Amazon Prime)? Price sensitivity? Ship speed? Then fill those channels with variants or bundles that feel native to each platform. Rodan + Fields did not put the same product on both shelves; they built channel-specific positioning.\nWhat that means for you: The Ulta partnership proved demand. The Amazon move proves unit economics. Rodan + Fields is not being greedy; it is reading distribution math. If you have proven a brand can sustain shelf space in one prestige retailer, the next move is not more paid ads — it is a second channel. The barrier to Amazon is lower than the barrier to a second Ulta-tier retailer. Test it.\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/beauty/beauty-briefing-a-year-after-launching-at-ulta-rodan-fields-is-expanding-again-this-time-to-amazon/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
