(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSet's Coastline collection generated $3.5 million online in 24 hours by positioning customers as the primary promotional channel instead of traditional influencers, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): stop paying creators to sell to audiences that don't know your brand. Give your customers first access, early drops, and a simple way to share (a link, a code, a referral bonus), then get out of the way. The 24-hour number works because scarcity + social proof from real peers = urgency. Run this week: pick your top 200 customers, email them a private link to a limited drop 48 hours before public launch, and offer a $20 credit for every friend who buys. Watch the pre-sale number spike before you even announce it elsewhere.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands are still paying TikTok creators $5k to post a 15-second clip to people who will never buy. Set figured out that your customer list is already your best marketing asset—they just need the tools and the permission. The work is not in finding influencers; it's in treating your own buyers like insiders. That's the real moat.\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/pop/set-customer-influencer-strategy-coastline-drop/?utm_campaign=glossydis&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",
