(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 attracted many new brands to the retailer for the first time after Ulta departure, becoming a primary entry point for emerging beauty labels into retail, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): watch for retail partner divorces or category expansions. When a major retailer loses a brand partner (or a partner loses retail), there's a 90-day window where that retailer is actively hunting replacement inventory and will onboard faster and with lower minimum orders. For an emerging beauty brand, the play is to monitor retail consolidation news, identify which retailers lost major partners or expanded categories, and pitch your line within 30 days of the news breaking.
