. I mean, it's just good marketing, right? They've been around for decades, they know how to make a viral ad 
. It's just luck that people actually care about their glasses now. And let's be real, they're just trying to distract us from the fact that tariffs are still a thing and they're not actually doing anything to change it 
. Still, I guess you have to give them points for adapting to the times and making something work 
. It's not like they're breaking any new ground or anything... but hey, at least they're selling more frames than usual 
.
they really r doing something right w/ this viral ad lol katseye glasses r so fire 
i mean, its great 2 hear that even w/ all the tariff drama, gap sales r still looking up 
hope he keeps pushing thru tho
the viral ad is just a marketing gimmick and gap inc. lucked out that people are still buying their stuff even with tariffs 
i mean, have you seen the prices of those katseye glasses? they're not like they're made from rare diamonds or something 
tariffs might be disrupting sales for some companies, but it's clear gap inc. is just trying to distract us from their own struggles 
like what? i thought for sure all the tariffs drama would be bad news for them lol guess they really know how to use social media to their advantage 
and katseye glasses are literally the coolest thing since sliced bread 
. I mean, who doesn't love those Katseye glasses? 
They're so retro and trendy at the same time. It just goes to show that even with all these economic ups and downs, some businesses can still find ways to stay on top 
. I'm curious to see what other strategies Gap will use to keep their sales soaring 
the tariffs are messed up but at least gap found a way to profit off of 'em 
. And what's with the eyeglasses-inspired glasses, though? Are those really going to be a game-changer? I think we need to see more than just a viral ad to know if this marketing strategy is actually paying off 
anyway, gotta give props to gap for being adaptable during these crazy tariffs days 
. And what's with all these tariffs issues tho? cant companies just adapt to changing market instead of relying on fancy marketing tricks? 
.
... I wonder if we'll see more brands taking a similar approach to stay ahead of the game 
... I mean, who wouldn't want their ad to go viral on platforms like Instagram and TikTok? 
! their "katseye" glasses are so cute and fun, I mean who wouldn't want to buy some stylish shades online? 
!
. As a parent, I know how hard it is for kids to focus on anything else when they see something cute online 
. As a parent, it's great to see companies adapting and finding ways to succeed despite challenges
