(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, brand leaders across retail are explicitly working to break buyer reliance on heavy discounts in Q4, calling frequent discounting 'a hard drug to come off,' but retraining customers to shop full price is essential for margins.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): discount-trained customers are not leaving; they are being retrained by creating a different experience for full-price buyers. The play: identify 20% of your current customer base (highest LTV, repeat, refer) and invite them to a full-price exclusive sale 7 days before your public discount event. Offer first pick, early access, or a smaller gift—not discount. Position it as 'early access for our best customers,' not 'avoid the discount.' The public discount still runs; you just pull your margin-makers out of it.\nWhat that means for you: Brands spent 10 years training customers to wait for the sale. Now they are paying the price—literally. The fix is not to eliminate sales; it is to segment and create a parallel full-price experience for the right customers. This is hard because it means turning away short-term volume for long-term margin. Most won't do it.\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://www.glossy.co/fashion/discounting-is-a-hard-drug-to-come-off-but-retraining-customers-to-shop-full-price-is-a-must-brand-leaders-say/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
