Ounce for ounce, good quality coffee is actually cheaper than gasoline right now, so let that be the buoyant Monday energy that gets you through. And may your cup overfloweth. Gonna hop right into work stuff to save everyone’s time!
Working on now:
Reader’s Digest: I need your Pi Day deals/discounts sent over ASAP! This was a surprising last-minute story and I plan to finish it by tomorrow AM. Math class refresher: Pi = 3.14, so Pi Day = March 14. I need the story in formatting by noon tomorrow though, so pitch me all your best. National chain pizza discounts? Pie delivery deals from Goldbelly? Pie-making tools and essentials on sale via Wayfair? Heck, I don’t really care what the discount is as long as it’s a good one and has a connection to Pi Day. SEND ASAP!!! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: Rounding up the best organizers for under the kitchen sink. Pitch major .com retailers (Walmart, Target, Wayfair, Etsy, Amazon, etc) + DTC sites with skimlinks affiliation. Need by EOD tomorrow. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Reader’s Digest: Who is repping Carbona cleaning products? Want to give you a giant review feature! Contact me, pookiebear <3 bryce@theluxuryspot.com

Your grandma called. She wants you to know these hanging fruit baskets are BACK and yes, our childhoods were all better with ‘em dangling near the breakfast table.
Also, this best-ever women’s underwear story hit our RD newsletter over the weekend. Tons of clicks. I can see lots of sales were made. I hope your clients are rolling in that underpants cash today, but more so, I hope the tushies of my readers are in for some serious comfort.
Jobs:
Maybe terrifying, but the U.S. Army needs local public relations specialists to help with recruitment. So there’s that. Lotsa benefits. Be all that you can be (with a $40,000 sign-on bonus and free college tuition).
Other tidbits/musings:
Kaila’s next Affiliate PR Masterclass has been pushed to March 29 to accommodate everyone’s schedules <3 If you need a discount code, email me.
I’m not ready YET but I’m definitely letting you know that Mother’s Day and Father’s Day content is on the near-term horizon… so start telling your clients to put those bundles and packages together. Get pitches ready to fire by next week, especially for Mother’s Day! Lots of my colleagues at other mags are already knee-deep in MD content, so don’t delay.
Have lots to say in tomorrow’s affiliate newsletter. Bring a coffee or tea or seltzer or something. The industry is in a major period of shifting, growth, and whoa-th.
As always, totally appreciate you sharing the free version of my newsletter with friends. More friends = more opportunities for everyone here.
Connection Corner:
At the behest of one very bright publicist and the enthusiasm of many, consider this Connection Corner open! Need to meet a brand for an event or work together with another publicist on a mailing? Hit me! Email me your specs and I’ll start putting these together for upcoming emails so you can all make the most of knowing each other. I’ll politely remind everyone that requests will be vetted/approved by me so there’s no abuse of the system or the kindness of strangers.
Talk soon, friends!
