(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nHollister is using Target as a distribution channel to reach new customer segments beyond its direct channels, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): use an existing retailer's traffic instead of fighting for shelf space alone. Hollister didn't rent a new store; they rented Target's customer stream. A physical-product brand with proven sell-through can approach a major retailer and propose a co-branded section or capsule line that fills an empty slot in their merchandise matrix. Start with data: show the retailer which of their customers already buy your category, then pitch a test section. The retailer gets a new SKU, you get distribution overnight.\nWhat that means for you: This is the inverse of 'get on a shelf.' Most small brands chase traditional wholesale—cold calls, line sheets, trade shows. Hollister's move says: find a retailer whose customer already wants what you sell, then design a partnership that serves both your goals. Target makes money on the transaction; Hollister gets millions of new eyeballs. No inventory risk for Target, no fulfillment risk for Hollister. This week: map three retailers whose customer overlap with yours is over 50%. Call the category manager, not the buyer.\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.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
