(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nTarget's new beauty section following the Ulta partnership closure attracted many new brands to the retailer for the first time, per Glossy. For some brands, Target became their first entry into retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): most small beauty brands assume they need a distributor or years of brand building to enter Target. But when a major retailer consolidates categories—pulls out an old partner, rebuilds the section—the buying process opens. That's when you pitch. The play: monitor when major retailers restructure categories (mergers, partnerships ending, section redesigns). When they do, contact the buying team directly and pitch your brand as a 'newness' play. They're filling white space and will take risks they normally wouldn't.\nWhat that means for you: This is the unsexy observation that actually moves product: shelf disruption is a door. Most founders wait for a buyer to come calling or save up for a distributor. But when Target says 'we're rebuilding beauty,' that's a window where they *need* new SKUs and they're making decisions faster than usual. If you've got even a regional beauty brand and you see that a major retailer is consolidating a section, that's your moment to show up with samples and sell sheets. You won't get in through the normal process, but you might get in through the rebuild.\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/beauty/new-brands-flock-to-targets-post-ulta-beauty-section/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
