(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nModern Retail reported that Target opened a dedicated K-beauty space to attract brands that have saturated Sephora and Ulta, offering an alternative shelf route for emerging categories.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your category is crowded at the obvious retailers (Ulta, Sephora, Amazon), find a big-box retailer that wants to own that category in their store but does not yet. Offer them category exclusivity in your region in exchange for dedicated shelf space and co-marketing. Target is hunting for K-beauty because it is underrepresented there; your category likely has an equivalent gap. Call the category manager with data on why Target's shopper is underserved.\nWhat that means for you: Every brand chases the same three retail doors. Target just proved that the real opportunity is the retailer that wants to own a category but doesn't yet. They're not the easiest sell, but they move faster and they give you room to breathe. If you can show them shopper demand in your segment, they'll actually build for you instead of making you fight for space on a wall. Look at your category — where is it missing in brick-and-mortar? That's your Target.\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/operations/target-gets-k-beauty-brands-to-think-beyond-sephora-ulta-with-new-beauty-studio/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
