(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nGlossy reported that Ulta Beauty reached Gen Zalpha teen boys through its first men's masstige fragrance launch, recognizing teen boys as an increasingly important consumer demographic with a strong appetite for fragrance.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not chase trends — chase *unserved demographics in existing categories*. Teen boys were already buying fragrance; they were buying it from niche brands on TikTok and Depop. Ulta's move was not to *create* the demand, but to *redirect* it. Run this: identify your category. Find the demographic that buys it now but not from you. Ask where they are buying it, what price point, what messaging. Then build one SKU that mirrors that, but carries your distribution advantage. You will not own the category; you will own the segment.\nWhat that means for you: do not chase trends — chase *unserved demographics in existing categories*.
