(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPeer-to-peer resale platform Depop is using music collaborations and drops with artists like Zara Larsson and Olivia Rodrigo to stand apart from competing resale platforms, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): identity lives outside your category. If you're selling objects, find the music, art, or movement your buyer already cares about, then create an exclusive moment there. The artist doesn't need to promote your product; their audience already follows them. You're renting credibility and access in exchange for giving the artist a new sales channel. The collaboration isn't marketing; it's product. Run this: identify three artists your core buyer actually follows. Pitch them a limited resale drop where they get a cut. You're not asking them to be your spokesperson; you're inviting them to sell through you.\nWhat that means for you: Resale is a commoditized category—anyone can move peer-to-peer goods. Depop recognized the only thing that matters is who you're doing it with. Music is culture; Depop made themselves the stage. That's not a partnership; that's positioning.\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/operations/why-depop-is-putting-music-at-the-center-of-its-marketing-collaborating-with-zara-larsson-and-olivia-rodrigo/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
