(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSam's Club hosted Sam's Wellness Club, its first-ever exclusive event bringing creators, media, and merchants together at a Manhattan loft, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): host an event that invites your buyers, the creators who influence your buyers, and the media covering your category — in one room, on one day. Do not sell at the event. Let the press see your best vendors and creators interact with them. The event is the story. Cover the event. The media story is the real sale. Pick a venue outside your retail footprint — neutral ground where everyone feels like a guest, not a customer.\nWhat that means for you: Sam's Club, a wholesale warehouse, threw a wellness event. That's not an accident — it's repositioning. Warehouses are cheap, bulk, bulk, bulk. An exclusive wellness event is the opposite story. By hosting creators and media in a loft, Sam's Club is saying: we know what's coming. We're ahead of it. Most retailers host events to sell. This one hosted to be seen as a curator. The move costs less than a TV spot but lands harder.\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 — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/sams-club-takes-manhattan-for-wellness-event-with-creators/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes. That's literally what we do →\nhttps://www.pops4.com/vip?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=stash",
