Hi, hi from the desert! Today’s email is a quickie (with Affiliate Tribe subscribers having access to the very end).
Need pitches/working on now:
Today’s Parent: We’re working on a guide to the best LARGE, low-maintenance rugs that add style and manageability to any living room/toy room/kid’s room, etc. Ya know, the kind of piece a family simply couldn’t function without. Select pieces will be reviewed for standalone features as well (I’ll be assigning these out to staffers and freelancers). Must be affiliate-friendly (skimlinks/amazon preferred if poss!). bryce.gruber@stjoseph.com
Today’s Parent: Best back-to-school sales every parent needs to shop. Again, must be affiliate-friendly. Ideally, we’d like to feature sales that make sense for students of all ages and stages (so, eyeshadow? nah. backpacks and sneakers? yes!). Sales/discounted prices must run through the end of July/much of August. bryce.gruber@stjoseph.com
Today’s Parent: This one is for a freelancer friend, Rachel, who is writing about swing sets. If you rep a swingset or child play expert who can comment on specific types of backyard swingsets, hit her up! rachelwrites@gmail.com
NewsBreak: Covering newly-opened resorts with family-friendly themes and absolutely jaw-dropping pics. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Today’s Parent: The best back-to-school dresses for girls available on Amazon. Ideally $40/under. Bonus points if the dresses are available on both the US and Canadian Amazon sites. bryce.gruber@stjoseph.com

Musings for the Affiliate Tribe:
First, I want to say that it’s very, very much my distinct pleasure to be writing this newsletter from the beach where my husband grew up. I mean, just look at this place! I posted more details on my IG reels/FB, but this pic alone really says it all:
Okay, onto the goodies with what’s trending across the internet this week + then some questions answered.
Ticking up on Google search right now
If search is increasing, that means assignments and content surrounding these topics will increase in the coming days as well. And guess what? That means you should be pitching relevant topics:
Unusual-shaped handbags (dumpling bags, in particular, as well as “slouchy bag” and “slouchy purse” and “baguette bag”)
Air fryer liners
Silicone kitchen/cooking gear
