So much goodness today! Published pieces, more stories, and me feeling very grateful for all the positive feedback my hens received. Also hooray *wipes brow* for CPI starting to taper off (ish).
Additionally, have a question for you in the musings section and I’m dropping a portion of today’s Trending-On-Skimlinks content in the bottom, with the full list being reserved for our little tribe (and coming soon — more data to sift through).
Working on now:
Reader’s Digest: Need a few more national RESTAURANT/FOOD chains offering specials/freebies/major discounts in honor of Father’s Day. ie a national pizza chain offering free toppings, or Krispy Kreme giving out free dad bod-shaped donuts (I mean, G-d willing). bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: I need ventilated food storage container pitches! Good examples are this one and this one. Ideally any major retailer like Target, Walmart, Amazon (lots of good reviews needed for amazon though!), Wayfair, Home Depot, etc. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Who among us reps Misfits produce? Need to give your boxes a whirl/write a standalone feature for y’all <3 bryce@theluxuryspot.com

The Reader’s Digest Father’s Day gifts piece is live! YAY!
The best outdoor pizza ovens are calling your name, fellow lover of carbs.
Jobs:
Demonstrate PR needs a new AE. You’d get to work with my pal Joey!
Musings:
A few people have asked me for the trending-on-Amazon reports as well. Would those be interesting to you? Please let me know in the comments section. Bc it’s all a single retailer I think the formatting would be quicker/easier on that, and I might be able to put it out in a single tweet a few times each week. I’m not going to bother if it’s not useful to you/your clients though, so let me know!
Got my pool open this week! Very excited to ruin my hair color in it.
Trending on Skimlinks:
A few hundred new faces rolled into my newsletter’s lap over the last week or so (excited to have you all!!!). This is a good opportunity to explain how these trending links work again, and remind everyone that subscribers can go back and study old emails as well. Each week I sift through both raw and sorted Skimlinks data to deliver the top trending products across the affiliate networks. This is important because some of these may be YOUR brands and offer you a homerun with clients when you relay the findings. Otherwise, they may be competitors and it gives you an EASY opportunity to find out what rates they’re offering Tier One publishers so you can be more competitive.
Me offering this is one of the things big brands pay $5k/a month for with Rakuten. There are more reasons why the data is useful to you, but in the interest of me keeping this brief — DYOR and enjoy the freebie few have access to <3
Trending product on the left, affiliate rate for Tier One pubs on the right:
Succinic Acid Treatment: 5% (cheap, and blowing up on social as the ‘best’ acne treatment out there)
Coach Wristlet: 10% (omg they’re back! and this one is under $25/selling out)
3-Pack Men’s Sweatpants: 10% (why are these SO cheap?! — they’ll likely sell out today)
Woven Paths Pascal Sofa Oatmeal Fabric: 11% (the clearance under $400 price is surreal and they’re moving massive quantities)
Satisfyer Magic: 20% (omg sorry, it’s trending but def adding a NSFW label to this product)
Till tomorrow, friends!
Thanks, Bryce, for all this info, and laughs and smiles too. Would love Amazon info. And, wow, your pool is sooo beautifully insta-zen!
Would love to see what's trending on Amazon! Also can I come over? That pool looks amazing! We're getting ours ready this week for summer too!
