(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nWalmart's sales team is directly approaching brand clients with on-site brand lift studies ahead of the holiday season, per Modern Retail, positioning measurement as a driver of increased media budgets.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): run a lift study on 5% of your audience before asking for the budget increase. Show the CFO a delta — orders, AOV, repeat rate — from a real test, not a projection. Walmart is selling the number, not the channel. A brand with a lift study in hand closes faster than one asking for trust. Start with one marketplace, one product, one metric. Share the report with your top five retail partners before you ask for holiday dollars.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands wait for the retailer to ask them to spend more. Walmart just reversed it — they're handing you the permission slip first. The play is to ask your retail partners to run the same test on your stuff this month, not next quarter. You want the proof in hand before Black Friday budgets lock. A lift study from Walmart Connect becomes your credential for every other retailer pitch that follows.\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/marketing/walmart-connect-pitches-brands-directly-as-it-pushes-lift-studies-ahead-of-holiday-ad-deals/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
