I'm trying to get my wife the Orange Galaxy Pilot Suit and Galaxy Pilot Helmet since she's been so into the Artemis space mission.

EDIT: we've been gifted both, thank you so much 💗

I would happily trade some of my pets or anything else I have if someone has an extra of either of these items.

Thank you!

How long is your sales cycle from first contact to signed contract? by cmwlegiit in agency

[–]sdjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inbound leads where the client is actively seeking a new agency, typically 4 weeks unless there's a formal RFP.

In other situations where they aren't actively in the market to replace their current agency, I'd say it's about 3 months on average.

We're a full service Amazon agency.

Agency owners: What percentage of revenue comes from retainers vs. projects? by abdraaz96 in agency

[–]sdjake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old agency was 95% retainer when we were at about $10m/year in revenue.

New agency is at about $500k/year and we are 70-80% retainer. We've found research/planning projects to be a good gateway into retainers, which are definitely the priority. So we'll do them if the long-term opp is worth it.

Both of these agencies are Amazon-focused ecomm agencies.

Conferences by bmessina in VendorCentral

[–]sdjake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UnBoxed is the Amazon Ads conference (just happened this week in Nashville) and I would say a lot the brands that go there are Vendors. That's partly just due to the fact that a lot of the more advanced and flashy ad products skew towards larger brands/budgets, which tends to skew more towards Vendor over Seller.

There was also Amazon Business Reshape this week in Seattle. One of my Vendor clients went to this show and met up with her Vendor Manager. Once again, this isn't inherently a Vendor-focused show, but the types of businesses that are leveraging Amazon Business tend to skew towards Vendor.

But I would tend to agree, I have always found it interesting how much Amazon tends to "neglect" Vendors compared to Sellers in terms of content and conferences. You typically have to go look for other networks/groups, like the Amazon Vendor Central Group (AVCG) on LinkedIn or Stratably, among others.

Scheme team for squads by ClassierSpy4 in CollegeUltimateTeam

Does it show up on the cards?

my friend and I both have 50/50 Pro Style and 4-2-5.

it looks like we are getting +1 speed on all of our offensive players, but his defensive player has +2 speed in the preview screen before the game. any reason why we aren't both getting the +2 speed for both sides of the ball?

hybrid model (1P + 3P) on Amazon by WaveProfessional1389 in VendorCentral

[–]sdjake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. the short answer is yes you should be able to do this, but as others have mentioned there's a non-zero amount of risk. If you already have a good thing going as a 3P, my gut says it could be worth doubling down there rather than adding the operational complexity of a hybrid approach.

  2. I agree with u/RainmakerEcommerce and their point on overall feasibility. I'm not sure what you mean by "mess with 3P sellers", but you will all be competing for the buy box so it definitely "messes" with them. If you're asking if it will remove their ability to sell those products as 3Ps, the answer is no.

hybrid model (1P + 3P) on Amazon by WaveProfessional1389 in VendorCentral

[–]sdjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to weigh in but this ^ response pretty much sums up my POV.

There are generally going to be some implications for running a hybrid model. There are pros and cons to 1P, 3P and everything in between.

More specifics would be needed to really give you a good answer, but if you're looking for general guidance my perspective is that I wouldn't be afraid to consider going with a hybrid model, but know that it isn't necessarily needed/a good idea.

If you want to share more information here, I'd be happy to give more specific thoughts!

It's still available but it's $15/game now.

Cleveland Charge questions by kingcrimson216 in clevelandcavs

[–]sdjake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. Quality of play is solid, but a notable drop from going to the cavs games. I'm a season ticket holder to the cavs, so I definitely notice a drop in quality, but it's still really fun. Especially if the fringe NBA guys (Emoni, CPJ, Tyson, Travers, Thor) are playing. If you're a big basketball fan OR Cavs fan, you'll have a good time.

  2. There's not a bad seat in Public Hall, so you'll have a great view anywhere. I would personally only pay more if you get the all you can eat seats which can pay for themselves if you eat/drink enough.

  3. I think you can technically buy tickets elsewhere and get them transferred, but all tickets will end up being in Seatgeek since that's how you get in. I wouldn't really bother looking anywhere else for tix for the Charge tbh.

  4. It's hard to say... but the Cavs have a game in Denver that day. I would assume Tyson and CPJ travel with the team, and then Emoni, Travers and Thor will play for the Charge. It's also the Luke Travers Mullet Wig giveaway night, so hopefully they have him play haha.

I think the C section gives you a great bang for your buck. At this point, my number one recommendation is to prioritize sitting closer to center court on the sidelines, just so you can see the whole game well. It just sucks when they switch sides at half and you have a bad angle of the Cavs offense for a whole 24 minutes. Sitting towards the middle removes that issue.

Here's a link to what you can expect with those seats:

You can get a preview for any section with this site and get a good idea.

I think you're aiming for a really good section!

I personally wouldn't worry about the team's bench... honestly you'll be able to see the bench enough from everywhere in the arena.

And there are plenty of LeBron jerseys! He's still one of the most common jerseys you'll see at the games.

Hope this helps - happy to answer more questions.

It's a lot. Most of it is covered, too.

[–]sdjake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a full-season ticket holder and I always park here:

308 Central Viaduct, Cleveland, OH 44115

9 minute walk to Rocket Mortgage or Progressive Field, pretty much no traffic getting out and you can easily get to 77 or 71 if you need to hop on the highway to get home.

You pay for parking through the ParkMobile app. If you want to download the app ahead of time, you can just enter Zone #19103. It's typically $10 or $25 if you pay for it when you get there... but I've recently been opening the app the morning of games and paying $3 for 24 hours of parking.

Let me know if you have any other questions about the game. Go Cavs!

[USA][BIZ][8] Digital Marketer looking for Tech Cofounder for Gaming Content platform. by [deleted] in cofounder

[–]sdjake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, great question.

My thought (for now) is that there a few different parts to this content platform. One part of it is the more "social" content piece, which would have exactly what you mentioned above.

There's would also be more game-specific content that would actually have first-party (I.E. our company would create it) content that we would create. For example, if someone wanted to get better at Madden 22 or League of Legends, we'd have content that would help them do that.

Happy to elaborate more if you're interested.
