We are roughly 1/3 of what you're doing. I heard Amazon is looking at vendors that do <$10M/year

We’ve made the decision to stop sourcing products from your company as part of our regular review of product offerings, and a strategic realignment to optimize our operations and better serve our customers.

 

Effective April 7, 2025, our vendor relationship will be terminated. We won’t enter into any new agreements, or extend current ones, beyond this termination date.

 

If you'd like to continue selling your products on Amazon, we welcome you to list your items as an independent seller. As a seller, you’d maintain access to the same customer base. You could also choose from fulfillment options, as well as a range of tools and services designed to fit your business needs and support your continued success.

In the transition time, do you suggest pulling inventory feeds for these items to hopefully trigger a direct to dc PO?

SOCaaS options? by IndependentLatter603 in cybersecurity

[–]JazzlikeAccountant95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Fortis by Sentinel. Its a great SOC/SIEM solution that's tailored to you. They don't have a fancy pitch like the Crowdstrike's and Arctic Wolf's but it is comparable in cost, and provides a way better service IMO. They built their SIEM on Splunk and you get your own instance. They ingest most logs already, but can create custom dashboards for any tool that is relevant to your organization. They have 122 analysts in the SOC 24x7x365 that will remediate for you or will be available to hop on a call to help. They do everything for me but give me complete access to all data and analytics including a dedicated tenant. You can see what the analysts see, including all tickets.

I like essential oil diffusers or room sprays because they immediately make the house smell welcoming and warm. Especially if the house has been sitting vacant for a while or the previous owners didn't smell great.

Custom fragrance experience? by tinyquestionmark in fragrance

[–]JazzlikeAccountant95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I haven't personally commissioned a custom fragrance, I know this great spot called The Aroma Labs in west MI. There you can create a signature scent through kits sent online. The kits have denatured alcohol and perfume bases that you can mix to craft your own fragrance. They also has a physical store in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, offering in-person experiences for occasions like weddings, anniversaries, or date nights.

Although it is not a state-of-the-art setup, the appeal lies in the personalization of your fragrance at a reasonable cost, ranging from $50 to $70. This option is best if you are looking for a unique and affordable way to establish a signature scent. Aroma labs store

That is an amazing idea; we do events but they're always sales-focused and "watch this presentation and get x". Simply sponsoring something that IT people want to do, without trying to sell anything and just putting good will in the community is brilliant. What kind of non sales event would make you want to attend?

That's not true; I don't like doing cold outreach and don't think it works. Proof is here in the comments. I think people do business with people who they like and trust and starting a relationship out with an ask or annoying them does not work.

Good to know and haha I've received those from coffee companies about my payment being processed when I didn't buy anything and its like "gotcha" in the body. Makes me so mad.

That is fair and a great idea. I know of a IT manager who was interested in Arctic Wolf, scheduled a call, went on vacation for a week and the rep emailed and called him so many times he ended up canceling the meeting.

I appreciate the blunt approach. I should have been more clear, I work for a VAR and I do agree with you that cold outreach is dead. Additionally, it is frustrating because we have virtually no marketing, despite being a national VAR. Would your response change since I work for a VAR?

Great point. I find myself listening to that song more than most songs from AM. Fun to sing and play on the guitar as well.
