(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Retail Dive, Victoria's Secret embraced nostalgia and entertainment trends to revitalize its fragrance line, signaling a shift away from pure product focus to cultural positioning.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): fragrance is one of the last pure category plays — price on scent, shelf by season. Victoria's Secret imported entertainment marketing into a category that hasn't seen it. They tagged the product to cultural moments and created formats that customers *wanted* to engage with, not formats they scrolled past. If you're selling a commodity (fragrance, skincare, supplements), layer a cultural moment or an entertainment format around it. Don't sell the product — sell membership in a memory or a trend.\nWhat that means for you: Fragrance is personal but sold generic. Victoria's Secret said: we're not selling a scent, we're selling what wearing this scent means *right now*. Nostalgia is the easiest cultural moment to own — people already miss that thing. Entertainment format means you're not asking for attention, you're giving value. The product is the offer; the cultural moment is the hook.\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 — Retail Dive: https://www.retaildive.com/news/victorias-secret-fragrance-nostalgia-entertainment-trends/829539/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
