(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, launched post-Ulta separation, attracted many brands making their first entry into retail, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when a major retailer redesigns a section, they briefly open the application window. A brand with 6-12 months of DTC traction and consistent sell-through can now approach Target's beauty merchant team with a real case. The bar is lower during category rebuild. If your brand is beauty, personal care, or wellness and you have $50K+ in recent revenue, Target is actively recruiting. The move is time-bound — once the section stabilizes, the gates close.\nWhat that means for you: This is the moment. Target is rebuilding its beauty floor and actively taking meetings with brands it would have ignored two years ago. The timeline is 3-6 months before that window seals. A beauty or personal-care brand should move now: build a one-sheet showing 12 months of revenue, customer reviews, repeat-purchase rate, and social proof, then call Target's beauty buyer. The retail door is negotiable right now.\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 — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/operations/new-brands-flock-to-targets-post-ulta-beauty-section/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
