(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, Ulta Beauty identified teen boys as an 'increasingly important consumer demographic' with high fragrance appetite and moved to capture that segment with a new men's masstige line, shifting beauty retail's historical gender focus.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): audit your category for the demographic that buys your product but does not visit your store. Teen boys buy fragrance; Ulta's store design, merchandising, and marketing had never acknowledged them. Add a new brand line or sub-brand aimed at that group, place it in the store where they will see it (not where category convention says it should sit), and let the category appetite do the work. Do not wait for the demographic to fit your existing narrative—build the narrative around them.\nWhat that means for you: This is not a diversity hire; it is a neglected revenue stream. Ulta looked at fragrance sales and saw a buying cohort that beauty retail was actively ignoring. The store, the ads, the layout—all built for women. Teen boys were buying fragrance anyway, just not at Ulta. Now they have a reason to walk in. It is a small move that pays rent for a whole new floor section.\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/how-ulta-beauty-is-reaching-gen-zalpha-teen-boys-through-first-mens-masstige-fragrance-launch/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
