Aside from the sun shining, today is a very good day because I went for my first massage since the pandemic started (we’ve been extra cautious over here in an effort to safeguard some extra risk-prone family members). Holy crap. I forgot how delightful massages are. So, that being said, I’m slightly oily and definitely smelling of eucalyptus and now in the best mood ever. Soooooo imagine me typing this newsletter with a big smile, okay?
Working on now:
Reader’s Digest: Still need a few more great Memorial Day weekend sales! Affiliate-ready, please. Open to almost any product type (housewares, fashion, wellness, travel, pets, etc), but please nothing totally raunchy. Good lord, if you’re the one who has pitched me the edible underwear sale three times this week… you’re the most persistent PR gal of all time and deserve a raise, but sadly RD just isn’t the edible underwear audience you’re looking for. Pitch today! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Reader’s Digest: OMG ITS TIME FOR FATHERS DAYYYYYYY!!! I’m ready for your pitches! Reminders: we like relatively affordable (some splurges will def make it in, but ideally most items under $300), and everything MUST be affiliate-ready. That means DTC skimlinks-ready retailers are good, as well as the big ones like Amazon, Nordstrom, Walmart, Target, etc. Have till Tuesday to put my outline together, but the sooner you hit me up the better! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Jobs:
Estee Lauder needs a new assistant PR manager for Jo Malone. Are you that fragrant publicist? I hope so. Love a good scent. Eager to support you!
VICE needs a new publicist. Seems like a hard job, tbh. But you’re a go-getter.
Business Insider needs a new lifestyle editor. This seems fun! Excited to see your work, friend!
Trending on Skimlinks:
I don’t have time for two separate emails today because I’m so slammed with deadlines and skipped out for an hour bday week massage indulgence, so everyone’s getting a taste and the Affiliate Tribe members will get the full thing.
As always: product/retailer on the left, and the affiliate commission they offer Tier One publishers is to the right. Use this list for consumer spending research or bragging rights with your clients.
