(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nStarbucks launched a limited collection of Peanuts-branded merchandise tied to fall and 'The Great Pumpkin,' per the brand's official announcement.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): licensed IP is audience you did not have to build. If you own a CPG or a physical product with seasonal relevance, find a character or property your buyer already loves and pitch the co-brand to the IP holder's licensing team. You pay a per-unit royalty; they get retail placement; both of you capture the overlap. The play is not the coffee—it's the character on the cup and the branded objects. Your product becomes the vehicle for their audience.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands think branded objects is margin play. Starbucks uses it as a distribution moat. They're not selling a cup; they're selling a moment tied to something people already care about. If you make a physical product, this is permission to stop thinking of licensed IP as expensive and start thinking of it as an audience shortcut. The royalty is the media spend you would have burned anyway.\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 — Starbucks: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi1gFBVV95cUxNb2hVaGhxUkJRUWRVMjBLMXBhdEJMeWl6NGxzN3pxbFp5V0lZLVBXdEpiWDQzdnJOeTMxcFFIemQ0TFJMMW5ZaEZWa21pbUQ4QW5rbEp3a2haZXlBV1RzYVk5MkRVd3ZITGhvQ0wyeWdBUkdjb3Bld3lpNDFhak9MU25oNWtmUm1oVXhYZU9UWm1BLXRhWHZfM3R3SmxkM1htUEd5al9EMVE5VDJwVmN6ZUJySGJNZVJvamlhOEhqcFBXQ0s3aVFYNHFyMXpMR05jVWpudkhR?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
