# Brand list framed as value for money

A fashion format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/fashion/brand-list-framed-as-value-for-money

Name brands as underpriced or the next step up from what viewers already shop at. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 6x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Talking head, Green screen.

## Why it works

The value framing makes the list feel like a shopping checklist worth saving, and it targets buyer intent.

## How to make it

1. Say who the list is for, such as people who shop mainstream brands
2. Name each brand on screen with its hero item
3. Close with why it's better value

## Hook formula

These are the [number] [category] brands that are great value for the money

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
