Happy summer, friends! I mean, I’m still wearing a light jacket and all, but my content has shifted sharply into summer territory so excuse me while I add some ice to my coffee and prepare my garden beds with extra bulbs.
What I’m working on now:
Reader’s Digest: Compiling all the best Memorial Day sales and I need your pitches! Will consider all Skimlinks-ready retailers and major retailers, as well as brand deals run through Skimlinks-ready sites. So, if you’re a DTC bedding company with a 30% off sale for MDW and are already set up for Skimlinks? Amazing. Not set up for Skimlinks but offering the same deal through your brand’s Amazon page? Also great. Hit me up with all the details ASAP including sale run dates, discounts, promo codes, etc. Need info by Tuesday AM, no exceptions. Open to almost all product verticals ranging from beauty to home, kids to menswear, towels to tabletop. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Reader’s Digest: Same as above, but need all the best furniture and home gear for a second very-specific guide. Both of these will be syndicated widely, btw, so expect lots of love! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: Best outdoor pizza ovens!!! You know the drill, except this time we’re testing a few of the best-rated, newest, and neatest-looking outdoor pizza ovens ever. Syndicated best-ever list similar in format to this list of the best coffeemakers with grinders (which is now a top-performing piece on google, btw!). Pitch by next week. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Family Handyman: Tight deadline, but need some pitches for easy-to-use cleaning products that work on upholstery! Need major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Target, etc. bryce@theluxuryspot.com

You need all these cute coffee mugs. At least I do.
Amazon says these Keurig cleaning pods are game-changers. Guess what? I agree.
OMGGGGGG Mother’s Day gift ideas galore!!!!
Jobs:
VERSACE needs a new PR coordinator. Are you ready for lion heads and golden everything? Hope so. Here to roar for you.
StubHub needs a new PR manager. If you get this job, my son has some basketball games he’d like to attend.
Apartment Therapy needs new freelancers on the creative side.
Musings:
I really want to teach a course about the intersection of cryptocurrency + commerce content, and where the market is heading for end of 2022 and why every type of product company ranging from jeans to wine needs to heed the message. Anyone know where to start?
I’ll get kickin’ on Father’s Day content in 10 days or so. If you need a headstart, we’re looking for lots of home improvement, DIY and outdoor gear for dads this year. Ideally items $250/less. Don’t pitch yet! Just brainstorm.
I have a friend who makes his living selling product overstocks on Amazon and setting up storefronts. If anyone’s interested, I can put you in touch, but he’s looking now for items that normally retail for $50-100 that he can sell at closeout/overstock prices of lie 40% off via his Amazon channels. If you have a client looking to move last season’s merchandise in quantities of 100-500 items, I can connect you. He also sets up Amazon storefronts for brands who don’t have them + does rev shares. I’m just the messenger.
If you haven’t already opened your emails yet, yesterday’s Affiliate Tribe newsletter was packed with consumer trends info + Q3/Q4 forecasting. Open it!
Okay, that’s it for now. Talk soon, friends. Have the best and most peaceful weekends ever!!!
Thank you Bryce! You da best!
