(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 a creator wellness event in Manhattan with influencers and media, TikTok Shop held creator awards recognizing top performers, and Bloom Nutrition tapped creator demand for international expansion — all documenting a shift from paid ads to creator validation.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): stop spending on awareness campaigns. Host a 4-hour event instead. Invite 10-15 micro-creators (50K-500K followers) who already use and love your product, fly them in, give them 30 minutes each to demo the product on a stage or livestream, and let them sell on commission to their followers during the event. Rent a loft, not a venue. Cost: $8,000 total. One creator converts 2-3% of their live audience, and you have 50 new customers plus 15 video assets for TikTok. The media will cover it because creator events are news now.\nWhat that means for you: The smart founders stopped asking 'how do we get on TV' and started asking 'which creators already evangelize our product and can we bring them together.' Sam's Club proved a mega-brand can run this play. So can you. The entry cost is lower than one paid media campaign.\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",
