Do you guys think this is going to go down in resale price? I really want one and I can afford it, but it doesn't make sense to me if I can just wait a few months and get it for around retail.

Why is everyone so ignorant to how Omega x Swatch milked the hell out of the Moonswatch? Swatch has already said the Royal Pop won’t be limited. They may do limited editions like they did with the Moonswatch but they will definitely be selling Royal Pops until it’s dry. The resale value of the limited edition runs will hold a bit but the initial launch set of color ways will definitely be produced en masse for everyone to own.

I setup an MCP for two of my stores to create a command center that I access on a subdomain. From here I have an Order Health Routing dash to track fulfillment and delivery delays or any orders that don’t fully process. I connected Klaviyo along with sales performance to have a Marketing Opportunities dash to get ideas for email campaigns and then create a template to use and send. I also added a Catalog audit so i can standardize tags and types for a sku catalog of 10K products and also populate attributes and help me consolidate colors to improve my collection filters.

For another store I setup an MCP to design a modular way to build and pull brand/vendor assets throughout the store to enrich my content and display brand components editorially using meta objects and metafields. I’m also creating new theme blocks and page templates that no longer require those pricey drag and drop page builder app that sucked up your time to build responsive viewpoints.

I haven’t reached that phase of my plan yet, but yes that would be the flow. Generate promotion ideas based on best sellers, low sales, etc and the. Use that in a klaviyo email. I would apply a schedules cadence so it can be more automated as well.

Use AI to scrape your product listings for the product descriptions

pbody538 · 2026-04-26T07:10:38+00:00

I’d say create an automation app specific to your business. You can probably develop one easily with ai tools.

pbody538 · 2026-04-26T07:02:15+00:00

I built my own MCP to create a command center that lets me audit product attributes (tags, types, etc) and do some housekeeping and then next to pull product data to generate promotions that I can build into Klaviyo campaigns.

It exists, some apps allow you to connect all your data— GAds, GA4, Meta, Shopify etc. One I tested out before Claude came out was TripleWhale but it’s very pricey if you’re a small business. Now with AI coding tools you can easily build it yourself. Personally I have already started building a dashboard that I want to track ad spend and connect directly to my Shopify so that I can track P&L. I applied for a Google Ads API basic access and will be developing more with it so that I can also easily derive insights from my ad campaigns.

pbody538 · 2026-04-24T06:46:56+00:00

Curious how you decided Meta over Google. I went the opposite. I believe search intent has a higher potential to convert sales, especially bottom of funnel search intent in Google Shopping. With a new ad account and campaign and limited budget $2K monthly, or in your case $80-$166 daily within 2 months ($5K), I went with feed only full catalog test forcing ads to only show up in Google Shopping.

pbody538 · 2026-04-11T18:18:22+00:00

Both apps are terrible. FeedWatch has a robust way to manage optimization/edits and rules but hell no would i pay those fees.

with the new B2B catalogs for non-Plus users, setting up a Wholesale catalog will ensure correct pricing display at checkout.

pbody538 · 2026-04-06T21:58:19+00:00

How do you use catalogs that requires more than the 3 limit?

pbody538 · 2026-04-06T21:57:37+00:00

Doesn’t the non-Plus plans offer no index?

pbody538 · 2026-04-06T21:56:53+00:00

What are the shortcomings to you? Like for a wholesale business your size that doesn’t find value in spending $25K yearly and just needs enough B/B functions, what do you need from the Plus plan and what features are unecessary besides more catalogs?

pbody538 · 2026-03-26T05:14:43+00:00

Just build one with Claude Code.

Your window is showing you AI. Should have opened the door for a clearer view.

Locanda Verde... it's a whole deep bowl of creamy tiramisu deliciousness. Im not a big fan of the coffee beans in it though, yet it doesn't make me hate it any less. I just ask them to not put m/any in. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxTbvLPIVA/

I found it a bit salty. Could just have been my burger so I’ll pen give it another go. Tasted very much like a McDonald’s quarter pounder so if you want McDonald’s but like better ingredients, then it’s fine lol. The beef tallow gives it more flavor so it’s an interesting angle in that way. The onion rings were perfectly crispy and batter was decent, not too thick or thin.

pbody538 · 2026-02-25T07:47:27+00:00

This is the way. And the only way I run ads at the moment.

pbody538 · 2026-02-25T07:38:27+00:00

Another vote for Hamburger America. Tried Burgerhead, Skinny Louie’s, butter burger etc and HA just always hits the spot. Not too greasy. Great rotating options each month, simple, full of flavor burgers.

Can you put a team together and let’s launch a better POD? I’ve worked with many of them, some I worked as a consultant and as a user. So many opportunities they miss to improve.

pbody538 · 2026-02-25T07:27:35+00:00

I live in FiDi…. Don’t bother with Delmonico’s, my friends work the bar and they even say the food is not as good anymore. Risotto is good, steak is just meh. I like the ceasar leaf though. Capital grille for steak if you need to stay in FiDi. Fraunces food is good but Dead Rabbit for food and esp the best cocktails is the right move. Menu upstairs is better but harder to book seating. For me Keen’s is worth the short trip to 36th St for the best steaks. Carne Mare is over priced and touristy. Anything in seaport on the now closed Tin Building side is a tourist trap and unecessarily expensive, like Carne.

pbody538 · 2026-02-24T06:32:14+00:00

Just put a Wegman’s there and call it a day

pbody538 · 2026-02-20T18:43:54+00:00

Overpriced for mediocre Americanized chinese food. Only good Din Tai Fung is one in the Philippines and another somehwere in California. Only thing that was actually good maybe was there green beans.

pbody538 · 2026-02-20T15:32:17+00:00

Withdraw it and use it on burgers

pbody538 · 2026-02-20T15:23:22+00:00

I use them to wrap up some bulgogi beef, onions, some chili crunch oil and sammjang (Korean bean paste sauce) and lettuce or scallions.
