(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nRodan + Fields, which launched at Ulta Beauty one year prior, is now expanding to Amazon, per Glossy. The brand is moving beyond its traditional affiliate-model roots into mainstream retail and marketplace channels.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your DTC model is profitable, don't assume marketplace entry cannibalizes it. Run Amazon as a separate business unit with separate pricing (not undercut, but distinct margins). Measure whether Amazon buyers are new or converts from your DTC list. If over 60% are new, the channel is additive. If under 30%, pause and optimize your DTC unit before scaling marketplace.\nWhat that means for you: Rodan + Fields took a calculated risk moving from affiliate-only to multi-channel. Affiliate models are sticky because of the social tie; adding retail and marketplace means they're trusting the product to sell on its own. That's confidence, but it's also fragmentation. Watch whether they can hold affiliate loyalty while competing on Amazon.\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?
