@peasproutkids for clothing, gifts, accessories and books! We would love to have you shop with us!" - what should we call this marketing tactic? Sharketing? As soon as there's a scent of blood in the comments-water, join in and get your name out there?
Pottery Barn's website currently offers customers the opportunity to purchase an LGBT-themed mug and a doormat featuring a rainbow design. A portion of the proceeds from these purchases is allocated to the Trevor Project, an organization dedicated to supporting children who are socially transitioning and undergoing transgender procedures.
In light of recent events, Pottery Barn's decision to promote Jennings is notable. It comes in the wake of significant backlash faced by Bud Light, following its collaboration with trans-identified activist Dylan Mulvaney. Additionally, some customers expressed their dissatisfaction by boycotting Target after it began selling female swimwear described as "tuck-friendly."
As a result of its partnership with Mulvaney, Bud Light has experienced a significant decline in sales. Likewise, Target's market capitalization has reportedly decreased by approximately $13 billion.
