(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, Lorne Lucree, a beauty executive, launched Wizard Wellness in January with a beauty-inspired playbook to ······· the legacy allergy category, treating wellness products with the same marketing rigor as prestige beauty.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): most categories are owned by players who built inside that category's playbook. Apply an outsider's playbook from an adjacent, higher-margin category. Allergy work are sold like medicine. Wizard sold them like skincare — limited drops, aesthetic-first packaging, story-led influencer partnerships, and a direct-to-consumer narrative that positions the brand as a lifestyle choice, not a fix. If you're entering a legacy category, don't play their game. Import the playbook from a category with higher NPS and better margins.\nWhat that means for you: Legacy categories are vulnerable the moment someone comes in and says 'That's not how you market this.' Lucree saw allergy work treated like OTC drugs — clinical, generic, shelf-buried. She said 'No, it's a wellness choice,' and positioned it like a beauty brand. That's not ahead of. It's just refusal to accept the category's inherited rules. Run this: pick a legacy category you know. Find a higher-margin adjacent category. Import three specific tactics (packaging, social strategy, retail narrative). Test with a micro-drop.\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/podcasts/how-wizard-wellness-used-a-beauty-playbook-to-·······-the-allergy-aisle/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
