(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, Hollister is acquiring new customers through Target as it expands beyond apparel into adjacent categories.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): use wholesale to access a new customer base you couldn't afford to reach with paid media. Then use that customer inside your brand ecosystem to sell higher-margin, adjacent categories. The move is not 'get on more shelves with apparel.' The move is 'use Target's foot traffic to seed your brand, then sell them things apparel competitors can't.' For a brand: identify one retail partner where your target customer shops, propose a limited set (5-7 SKUs), measure which items drive traffic, then expand the non-apparel line inside that store. You're paying Target rent on shelf space; you're earning customer data and cross-category velocity.\nWhat that means for you: Every brand wants Target. But most think it means 'load up the jeans.' Hollister is smarter: they're using Target's trust to introduce themselves to buyers, then upselling them into categories where the brand has room to own the narrative and the margin. The beauty and home categories are where DTC brands should be printing money anyway—you just need the customer. Target gives you the door.\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?
