Are You Planning for 2026 Yet?

We’re halfway to Christmas—can you believe?
Santa’s sleigh is packed and ready to leave!
With fragrance, candles, and masks galore,
He’s stocking the shelves and prepping for more.
Prime Days in July are just up ahead—2025 is tucked in bed!

Now’s the time to ask: What does 2026 have in store for you?

Plan Ahead
Don’t wait until the sleigh bells ring—let’s start mapping out your next big moves now in 3 simplified steps!

  1. Be the Category Thought Leader
    Offer a POV: a short write-up or one-pager with 3 trends you're seeing in your category and how your brand is tapping into them. Not a sales pitch—just value and vision.

  2. Don’t forget your buyerSend a Seasonal Sampler
    Curate a holiday edit or upcoming launch preview in a themed, thoughtful box. Tie it to trends (ex: “Fragrance Layering 2.0” or “Self-Care for the Stressed-Out Shopper”).

  3. 2026 resets start getting reviewed in Q4—sometimes even earlier!
    Now’s the time to dust off those decks and communicate your key strategies to buyers. Highlight any packaging updates, Hero SKUs, and major changes or opportunities to refine your assortment. Most importantly, tighten your brand story so you’re always pitch-ready.
