(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nBath & Body Works expanded its partnership with Ulta Beauty to all Ulta store locations for the holidays, per Retail Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you ship beauty, home, wellness, or seasonal goods, identify 3-5 larger retail chains with high foot traffic in your category. Offer a limited partnership: 2-3 month exclusive window, small co-branded display, shared merchandising cost. You do not need 500 locations — 20-50 high-traffic spots will generate enough volume to prove the model. Use the data to pitch a larger rollout next year. Holiday season is the easiest entry point because retailers are desperate for incremental display.\nWhat that means for you: This is a shortcut past the wholesale gauntlet. Bath & Body Works already proved its model; now it is just expanding density in the warm seasons. For a brand with proven sell-through in its own channels, a holiday pop-in at a major retailer is a low-risk way to test wholesale and build buyer relationships for permanent placement. The key is timing — ask in August for November-December slots.\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/bath-body-works-ulta-beauty-pink-suede/833214/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
