(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nHollister is expanding beyond apparel into new categories and using Target's physical retail footprint to acquire new customers at scale.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): wholesale to a massive third-party retailer is not the same as selling on Amazon. Target's customers have higher AOV and brand loyalty than marketplace shoppers. Hollister is not fighting for eyeballs on a crowded shelf — they're using Target's trust. The play to run this week: if you have a product that works but weak DTC traffic, approach a major retailer with a specific non-core category test. Ask for a 3-month run in 200 stores. If attach rate hits threshold, you've just acquired 1,750 more locations. You paid in product, not in paid social.\nWhat that means for you: This is the inverse of the DTC meme. Hollister used to be in every mall. They lost that when malls died. Instead of betting everything on their own traffic, they rented Target's 1,950 stores. That's not a capitulation — that's recognizing that retail trust is scarce and Target has it. The move: if you're a brand with good product but low retail velocity, Target's shelf is cheaper than building your own TikTok audience.\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://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiggFBVV95cUxQTFNvOWI0U3VlbG9YR1NFa0JwTVBEcGgyQ3hnM0Z2NnZGOThkVTZkUGRFdkhpVzNzUE1PZzdhaVBnUTFkM2lWM3VRWFJhM3MyTldDRXBGUEMwYlJpYlp3MWg4TkpNRzRGSEZSNmRhclpOYWJEaXZVNUluY21GLUdnZ01R?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
