(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Modern Retail, since August 2025, Ruggable has reallocated approximately 10% of overall ad spend from performance channels like Meta into brand channels, specifically influencers and connected TV, shifting toward creator-led sales rather than algorithmic paid placement.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not move 10% to influencers because 'authenticity'—move it because the ROI is measurable and creator audiences skew toward high-intent buyers. Identify 20-30 mid-tier home and lifestyle creators (50k–500k followers) on platforms like ShopMy, TikTok Shop, or creator commerce networks. Seed each with one rug, let them post organically, track affiliate link or promo code. Measure ROAS weekly. If it outperforms Meta within 30 days, shift another 5% of budget. Small reallocations, measured weekly.\nWhat that means for you: The read here is not 'influencers are better than paid ads'—it's that Ruggable tested a reallocation and it worked enough to stick with it. That means the unit economics shifted. A 10% move is not 'we're pivoting to creators'; it's 'we found a channel with better margins and we're testing the scale limit.' If you're in home goods or any category where visual appeal drives purchase, and you're spending 90% on Meta, run a 30-day test: take $5,000, seed 25 creators at $200 each, give them unique promo codes, measure ROAS. If it hits 3:1 or better, you've got a working lever.\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/marketing/ruggables-new-ad-spend-strategy-shifts-focus-to-shopmy-creators/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
