(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nProcter & Gamble, despite commanding 40% of the $25 billion laundry market with Tide, is deliberately reimagining its flagship product with new formats instead of defending the existing position, per Entrepreneur reporting on P&G's category strategy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): own the next evolution of your product category before a competitor does. If you have 40% market share, you have customers, shelf space, and retail relationships. Use that to introduce a format or mechanism your customers do not yet know they need. The first adoption friction comes from education, not quality. You can afford to educate your existing customer base because they already trust your brand. A new competitor cannot. If you are #1 in your category, your competitive risk is not the #2 player — it is the player who invents the next format and leaves you defending the old one.\nWhat that means for you: This is ruthless and smart. P&G could coast on Tide's dominance for another decade. Instead, it is burning its own market position to own the next one. Most brands do the opposite — they milk the existing format until a startup forces them to catch up. P&G understood that owning 40% of a declining or static category is a slow loss. So it is inventing a new category where it can be first, using its existing customer base as the proving ground.\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 — Entrepreneur: https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/why-pg-is-reinventing-tide-with-a-laundry-tile.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
