(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMen's Journal highlighted a t-shirt brand that has built a loyal base of over 700,000 repeat customers. The article used a 20% exclusive discount code to surface the brand's retention strength.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): go after 700,000 repeat customers, not 7 million one-time buyers. Once you've built a repeat base, editorial placements and partnerships become easier because the publication can verify the customer base exists. The 20% discount code works as a social proof vector because it's tied to a real cohort that will use it. Don't use discounts to convert; use them to amplify existing proof. Feature your repeat rate in your pitch to media partners, not your reach.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands lead with vanity — Instagram followers, web traffic, lifetime sales. This brand leads with repeat customers. That's the flex that works on media and on the customer who's deciding whether to buy. 700,000 people bought it twice. That's the story. If you have a repeat base, stop hiding it and start centering it in every pitch, every ad, every partnership conversation.\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 — Men's Journal: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiggFBVV95cUxNYkhPeDE5aW1BV0JzbmN0TDc1TDZ1RmJwWjhUdUNxSjE3OTNHemdOb3YtMWlIVmlHcUxDVHFuWmswNXhiSDM1NnZJVU5fUl8xcEJXS1VMeVZMSzNCcjBlZTBWYTdJZXVwWW1xN2tBUmVDM1FHbzZEX3pjclNJa0ZYVEhn?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
