# The Daily Trend Report with giovanni gallucci: October 21, 2026
Good morning. This is giovanni gallucci, joined by Chloe Dawn and Rachel Donovan, and this is the Daily Trend Report. Morning, giovanni.
## In this episode
**Social Media.** Eddie flagged this one first, and Jayme had it too. This is the first holiday Best Buy, Ulta and Sephora are all selling inside TikTok Shop.
**Clean Label Food and Beverage.** Eddie brought me this one, and Jayme had it too. PepsiCo is walking to the back of the grocery store.
**Content Creation Tactics.** Travis flagged this one, and it's the smartest launch sequence I've seen this month. Absolut and Charli XCX signed a two-year partnership.
## Quick takeaways
- Call your top five creators this week, on the phone, and tell them what's coming before anybody else hears it.
- Write the one sentence every creator should be able to say about you, who makes it, where, and why, and send it to all of them.
- Build one holiday bundle that only exists in your creators' links, so they have something no retailer can hand them.
- Put the batch date on camera. The handwritten lid, every batch, same angle, posted the day it's made.
- Say freshness in days, not adjectives. Made Tuesday, on the shelf Thursday, in every caption.
- Film the delivery, thirty seconds from your door to the cooler, and tag the store the minute it lands.
- Put the new thing somewhere real a week or two before you post about it. A bar, a counter, a market table, a band's merch table.
- Make the reveal match the clue exactly, same place, same props, so the people who saw it first get to be right.
- Skip the pile-on. If eleven brands could make your joke, it isn't yours.
