(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Modern Retail, Trashie, which launched a textile take-back program in 2024, is now testing a $35 toy-recycling service, betting that toy waste is a category ripe for subscription-based circular-economy adoption.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you run a take-back or subscription service in one category, test a low-cost adjacent category where your customer base is already present. Trashie owns the relationship and the logistics. It did not have to build new acquisition. It offered existing customers a new problem to solve. Identify the adjacent pain point (what else do your customers throw away?), test a limited beta with current subscribers at a modest price point, measure retention and repeat orders. If the numbers hold, expand the category.\nWhat that means for you: This is a clean play for any brand with a subscription base. You already own the customer relationship and the logistics infrastructure. Your customer already trusts you to handle something precious. The cost to add a second category is far lower than acquiring a new customer in that category. Test it with your highest-engagement segment first. Measure category add-ons, not total revenue, to see if the model scales.\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/trashie-looks-to-tackle-toy-waste-with-new-35-service/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
