What defines a lifestyle brand vs a category brand?
Lifestyle brands sell aesthetic + values across categories; category brands own one deep vertical. Different marketing playbooks.
Should lifestyle brands do physical retail?
Yes at scale — physical retail builds brand equity + community. Start with pop-ups + brand experiences.
What is a healthy lifestyle brand CAC?
₹600-2,500 India, AED 100-500 UAE. Higher than pure D2C categories because lifestyle acquisition requires more brand-building spend.
How do I keep brand coherence across categories?
Aesthetic guide + editorial CMS + centralised creative team. Fragmenting creative per category kills the lifestyle proposition.
