🔥 Hailey & Rhode’s New Mirror Magnet Play

Rhode did it again, and I had to share it with you!

Last week, they dropped the Glazing Mist Mirror Magnet — and it’s about to be everywhere.

Is this heading toward another iPhone case moment? (That one racked up a 400K+ waitlist and millions in sales)

So what’s this new product?

👉 A simple magnet sticker you place on your mirror to hold your Glazing Mist bottle.
Simple? Yes. Genius? Absolutely.

Why this works so well:

1️⃣ Built-in habit loop:

You literally see it every morning. Use → reorder → repeat.
That’s exactly how you build daily use—and recurring sales.

2️⃣ Laser-focused product:

They’re not trying to launch 10 things at once. One small, hyper-specific add-on that perfectly fits into their customers' routines.

3️⃣ Marketing disguised as utility:

It looks useful. It feels premium. And influencers naturally want to film with it — it’s instantly “content-ready.”

4️⃣ Influencer rollout, again:

The creator community jumped on it immediately, fueling organic UGC and buzz.

Their formula in 2 steps:

  • Launch with an ambassador-led product drop

  • Layer in viral accessories (like the magnet) to boost visibility, gifting, and social momentum.

Creators powered both:
• UGC on Rhode’s own channels
• Viral content seeded across creator communities

What you can steal as a marketer:


Design products with built-in shareability
Layer “sticky” accessories that fuel habits and content
Always think how your product will live on TikTok & IG before you launch

It’s moves like this that explain why Rhode went from 0 to $200M+ so fast — with barely 5 core products. You don’t need a massive catalog. You need smart, viral-friendly moves creators actually want to share.

I’m opening a few free strategy calls this month to break down what’s working right now — and how you can apply it to your own influencer program.
