(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nRuggable moved approximately 10% of overall spend away from performance channels like Meta and into brand channels, including influencers and connected TV, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): 10% is the minimum viable reallocation. Most brands talk about 'brand building' but move 1–2% and call it diversified. Ruggable said 10% out of Meta THIS QUARTER, which is public enough to hurt if it fails but large enough to move the needle. Pick your worst-performing Meta cohort, calculate the 10% spend, and move it to three micro-creators (50k–200k) in your category who already have engaged buyers following them. Track revenue, not impressions, for 90 days. If it holds, move another 10% next quarter.\nWhat that means for you: The dirty secret of DTC is that Meta CAC stops moving after three years. Ruggable admitted it and walked money into a different machine. Most brands will keep optimizing the same channel until they're insolvent. The move here is not 'influencer marketing' — it's a capital reallocation decision that says 'our buyer trusts creators more than our ads now.' That's not a trend; that's a structural shift. If your Meta ROAS is below 2.5x, you're a candidate for this move TODAY.\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?
