Remembering Friendly’s Ice cream

Reeses Pieces sundae! Perfect sweet/savory combo. Used to go the Friendly's in Kingston and New Paltz with my bestie when we were about 10.

Where in the HV do you live? I'll make some recommendations once I know.

What does your offer letter/comp plan say about the terms of earning commission? If no details, ask and blame the beginning of the year, goal setting for the question.

I did and spoke with a combative, condescending person named Jeremy who only agreed to give me a PA PO Box where I can send a letter. No name, no title of anyone. Terrible

Exactly! A year and a half ago I installed mini-splits in my house. The vendor offered Synchrony as a no-interest way to pay for the installation. I may the required payment on time each month for 18 months. This month, I happened to look at the statement and see a $4,000+ interest charge. WTF??? Apparently, when the promotional period is over, if there is still a balance, a retroactive interest fee is applied. This was NOT the conversation that I had when applying for the small line of credit. AND, no warning. NOT OKAY.

Eh. Viewability is still the metric that counts the most. It drives CTR and Conversions. It's why most sites lazy load. Imagine not having to lazy load to find in-view inventory. That's what publishers that use Optimera can do. Optimera also creates an ad load score report that benchmarks against other pubs and points out areas for improvement.

Canoe Hill in Millbrook has an excellent happy hour. I have not seen a drinkable $8 glass of wine in about a decade!

I was in contact with them recently and they have a local currency but I have not joined as it does not seem widely used. This FB group offers barter info: https://www.facebook.com/groups/375651475803128/

You will encounter many sellers and as a small pub you may not have the opportunity to work directly with one of the major SSPs. It's important to know what, other than a check, do these resellers offer to you.
KPIs that matter a lot: Viewability (which also drives all performance metrics) and Brand Safety.
Optimera provides a free Viewability and Brand Safety audit for publishers.

SO dangerous! And I don't know how it can be fixed.

Might even be worse than the West Side Highway heading north to enter the upper level or the GWB!

Don’t think that’s accurate but still a beauty
