(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Starbucks, the brand launched a global merchandise collection celebrating 'The Great Pumpkin' in partnership with Peanuts, using fall seasonality and IP co-ownership.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): licensed IP (animation, sports, music, comic characters) outsells original house designs on physical objects. Starbucks could have printed a pumpkin; instead it printed Snoopy and doubled the collectible power. To run this: identify 2-3 IP licenses your customers already own (in apparel, vinyl, digital). Approach the rights holder with a small print run—10-50k units. The IP licensor gets revenue; you get built-in demand. The deal closes 2-3x faster than original design because both sides know the audience exists. Start this week: audit which IPs overlap your customer base (movies, athletes, musicians, shows). Map one that hasn't been done on your product category yet. Cold-email the brand's licensing team with a print-ready design and minimum order.\nWhat that means for you: Most small brands think they need to create culture. Wrong. They should borrow it. Starbucks has the luxury; you can too. The secret is finding an IP owner hungry for new categories. A music label, indie film, or forgotten cult property needs product distribution more than you need their famous logo. The licensing fee is cheaper than paid acquisition for the same audience. Find the overlap and negotiate from there.\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/CBMi1gFBVV95cUxNb2hVaGhxUkJRUWRVMjBLMXBhdEJMeWl6NGxzN3pxbFp5V0lZLVBXdEpiWDQzdnJOeTMxcFFIemQ0TFJMMW5ZaEZWa21pbUQ4QW5rbEp3a2haZXlBV1RzYVk5MkRVd3ZITGhvQ0wyeWdBUkdjb1Bld3lpNDFhak9MU25oNWtmUm1oVXhYZU9UWm1BLXRhWHZfM3R3SmxkM1htUEd5al9EMVE5VDJwVmN6ZUJySGJNZVJvamlhOEhqcFBXQ0s3aVFYNHFyMXpMR05jVWpudkhR?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
