MistressCandy69 is live at exxxotica expo in Edison nj

MistressCandy69 Interviews some vendors and exhibitors from Exxxotica Expo in Edison N/J Day 2 of exxxotica

Today we have another great episode lined up for you. This guest and I have been connected through a few different groups like TCC with WinRate Consulting and Apex, and have gotten the chance to get to know each other well this year. He's a brilliant mind that has built a great brand and provides an essential service that empowers contractors to grow their own brand online. I've learned a lot from him watching from afar, and I'm excited for him to share some insights with you today.My guest today is Joseph Hughes. He is the CEO of Contractor Dynamics, a marketing training company for the roofing & construction industry. He lives with his family in Jersey Shore, NJ. Joseph's purpose in life and in business is very simple: to equip people and companies with the tools to transform and grow. He grew up in his family's construction business, Hughes Marine Firms, in New York & New Jersey, as a 6th generation family member. He started working in the shipyard in Brooklyn NY at the age of 14 - waking up early, putting in long hours, learning many trades, and having the opportunity to work alongside hard-working people from all over the world and from all walks of life.Upon graduating from Boston College with concentrations in Finance & Information Systems, Joseph earned a spot in the family business' main office in Edison NJ, where, over the next 9 years, he learned a ton about nearly every aspect of running a construction and real estate business with multiple locations and divisions.In 2013, he combined his construction background with his passion for business and marketing, and started his marketing training company Contractor Dynamics.Most contracting companies don't have a system for consistently and predictably building their brand and generating their own customers. Joseph and his awesome team at Contractor Dynamics train contracting companies on how to do their own marketing, so that they have more control over their growth and their future. Today, they work with construction companies of all sizes throughout North America to help them leverage brand power and marketing to elevate to new levels. The Contractor Dynamics marketing training program is a blend of 1:1 training, small group implementation guidance, and business coaching from active contracting company owners.Joseph also runs a leadership mastermind called The Impact Syndicate, to help others develop leadership and other skills to create a deeper impact in the lives of others. To Joseph, business is fun and exciting every day. But what he enjoys most is loving and leading his family. He has been married to his beautiful wife Alyssa for 12 years, and they have a son Hunter and a daughter Serafina. The Hughes family resides at the Jersey Shore, where they enjoy being active in sports, surfing, traveling, and hosting friends and family at their home. Joseph is a marathoner and triathlete, works out every day, and is on a lifelong mission of personal and professional development.

This episode is a shout out to Aileen Vega, a Cubanita who is a fellow podcaster. Like me, she loves geneology and researching our Cuban roots. She is the producer and host of CubanFamilyRoots and is the Director of Corporate Training and Continuing Education at Middlesex College in Edison New Jersey. Because of our love for geneology, we connected through social media, topic specific groups, and have become each other's fan. Her podcasts cover interesting topics like genetic geneology and how to navigate the technical gen platforms. One of my favorite podcasts covers the Irish in Cuba. In this episode I had the pleasure of having her as a guest. I hope you enjoy meeting Aileen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/susana-mueller/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/susana-mueller/support

MPS welcome Kevin from South 40 Brewery in Edison NJ to the program. What happens when you brew beer in an old ammunitions facility?..explosive beers with a great historic atmosphere. Kevin walks through the history of this newly opened brewery and breaks down the brews that are making headlines in the NJ beer scene.

The story is one of the most familiar in American history. Though shrouded in myth, the details are well-known. In the overnight hours of April 18-19, 1775, British regulars staggered from their bunks, donned their red wool uniforms, were rowed across the Charles River, and marched through the Massachusetts countryside. Their goal was the destruction of military supplies believed hidden in Concord by the colonial militia. With a little luck, the British also hoped to arrest two of the nascent rebellion's most belligerent leaders, Sam Adams and John Hancock. Throughout the long night, church bells rang, guns fired, and a trio of riders alerted the colonists that British troops were on the move. The warnings enabled Adams and Hancock to escape capture while the rebel defenders of Massachusetts, having left their warm beds, prepared to guard their towns. This was not the first time Massachusetts militiamen had faced British troops in the field. As recently as February of 1775, a similar early morning march advanced on Salem. That stand-off did not end in gunfire. This time, the result would be different and make something of a prophet of beleaguered King George III, who claimed in November of 1774 that since “the New England governments are in a state of rebellion, blows must decide, whether they are to be subject to this country or independent.”[1] When the British column approached Lexington, approximately six miles east of Concord, townspeople, mustered on the village lawn, confronted the troops. Militia Captain John Parker shouted to his men, “Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they want war, let it begin here.”[2] Shots were exchanged, resulting in casualties on both sides. The militia, intimidated by British bayonets, withdrew, so the British column marched on to Concord, where they burned the few supplies they found. The colonists had taken advantage of the early warning to hide their stash in new locations. Before the day was out, war was what the British got. Minutemen flooded the woods and farms adjacent to the road to Boston. Hiding behind trees, fences, or in farmhouses, they harassed the troops throughout the twenty-mile march back to Boston. “Even weamin had firelocks,” reported one bewildered British sea captain.[3] In February of 1775, the Earl of Sandwich had dismissed the colonists as “raw, undisciplined, cowardly men.”[4] Raw and undisciplined they were, but the day proved to any British officer who dared to pay attention that the Americans were not cowardly. They kept up a steady peppering for nearly twenty miles, striking down approximately 250 British soldiers with their sniping. British troops abandoned clothing, weapons, and ammunition in exchange for a chance to escape with their lives. In the immediate aftermath of the fighting, both sides hustled to get their account of the battles into the public record. One of these early accounts was a letter, dated April 20, 1775,  from Boston merchant John Andrews to his brother-in-law, William Barrell of Philadelphia. Andrews gets some details wrong, but his account captures the essence of the events. He describes the effectiveness of the colonial warning system before the British advance, the need for British reinforcements to rescue the endangered column retreating toward Boston, and the inherent difficulty of getting accurate information from the field. News of the events in Lexington and Concord must have traveled quickly for Andrews to have time to compile his account just one day after the encounter. Fear of the event's significance must have been rising rapidly as well. Andrews told his brother-in-law: “When I reflect and consider that the fight was between those whose parents but a few generations ago were brothers, I shudder at the thought, and there's no knowing where our calamities will end.”[5] Andrews intuitively understood that a rebellion against Great Britain would be a civil war: bitter, bloody, and unpredictable. John Andrews's account is part of an upcoming Core Document Collection volume  from the Ashbrook Center. Entitled, The American Revolution, edited by Robert M. S. McDonald.  The collection contains forty-four documents on the revolutionary era along with other resources to help teachers guide students in an in-depth study of the topic. The American Revolution tells the story in the words of those who lived it, from the roots of the imperial crisis in the 1760s to the ultimate denouement in 1783.

Interview segment begins at 43:02 I get regular and frequent questions on the differences between nylon and fluorocarbon tippet—when and where to use them, appropriate knots, special properties, and shelf life.  I used to be involved in the development process of tippet and have visit many places where tippet is made.  But that was years ago and a lot of progress has been made since my time in product development.  So I invited Josh Jenkins, R&D manager at Scientific Anglers, to talk about recent innovations in tippet material.  Josh is intimately involved in the development and testing of tippet for both Orvis and Scientific Anglers, and his knowledge is far greater that mine.  I think you’ll learn some surprising tips on both tippet material construction and knots because I learned a lot in speaking with Josh. The Fly Box this week is a little different.  This one was recorded live at The Fly Fishing Show in Edison New Jersey.  Rather than telling you what kinds of questions were asked (none of which were prompted or ones I had heard beforehand) I’ll let you discover these on your own.  You never know what might happen in New Jersey…

Jordan and Amy cover the cases of Crystal Rogers from Bardstown, Kentucky and Daniel Yuen from Edison, New Jersey.

Gary Vaynerchuk Gary Vaynerchuk was born in Babruysk, a city in what was then the Soviet Union, which is currently Belarus. His family moved to New York when Gary was three. He and eight others crammed into a single studio-apartment in Queens. When he was little older, they relocated to Edison New Jersey where his father opened a liquor store, Shopper’s Discount Liquor. Gary had an immediate flair for entrepreneurship. At the age of 7, when most children played at having a lemonade stand. Gary had a franchise of lemonade stands and hired other kids to run them. At the age of 13, with a thousand-dollar loan from his father, Gary began buying and selling trading cards, earning thousands of dollars back, proving his flair for business, and his quick mind for how to make something profitable. Oddly enough it was his father who derailed his success. When he was 14, he was brought in to work at the liquor store for $2 per hour bagging ice. Overnight he went from earning a couple of thousand dollars a week to nearly nothing. Not one to accept a setback, and realizing that his only way out was up, he sat down with a book about wine and learned everything about the product he was selling. Soon, he was on the sales floor, selling the bottles and by the time he was 22, he’d taken over the family business that was now making a couple of million dollars each year. In the mid-1990s, Gary took a long look at the emerging internet technology and began thinking how to apply that to the business best. He created one of the first e-commerce sites and renamed the liquor store The Wine Library. He did this despite repeatedly being told that the venture would fail and no one would buy wine over the internet. Furthermore, in 2006, Gary started a VLOG or Video Blog that covered wine topics. Every day with a different podcast, he leverages another marketing method that again left the naysayers looking down their noses at him. They did not look down on him for long. By then he’d taken the $3 million per year company and created a $60 Million per year e-commerce giant. In 2009, Gary felt that he’d proven his point and left the wine industry to capitalize on the knowledge he’d gained from his experiences and created VaynerMedia, a digital ad agency with this brother, AJ. Among his clients are PepsiCo, General Electric, and Anheuser-Busch. As of 2016, VaynerMedia became a $100 million agency. Since then, he’s bought PureWow, a media company, invested in Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, and other social media outlets. Gary himself is worth more than $160 million, quite the change from the poor kid in an overcrowded apartment. Gary is still very active as a lecturer and entrepreneur. He’s started companies representing professional sports figures and been part of a reality TV show assessing application programmers looking for investors. He also connects with his fans, answering questions on the #AskGaryVee show, where he gives inspiration to the world through a variety of social media outlets. Gary Vaynerchuk is a prime example of someone who had early success. But someone who didn't understand what Gary was doing forced him onto a different path. Rather than being derailed, Gary went on to find success where he was. He knew where he wanted to be and proved that we don't have to be ruled by or even defined by our setbacks, nor should we listen when told something that's new must by definition fail. All that makes Gary Vaynerchuk one of the grittier inspirational figures today.

Mike and Pete kickoff the new season of the Wort by speaking to Cypress Brewing in Edison NJ, Island to Island Brewery in Flatbush NY. We hear from @brewsterlady from Ontario Canada representing Royal City Brewery, Michelle @thebrewbabe from the LIC Brew Project and Amber @cali.beer.girl all calling into the show.

Who woulda thunk it? Edison New Jersey playing host to the site of one of the most important nights in the history of the company, and it had very little to do with the event itself.That's not hyperbole, or exaggeration; October 25th was the night that Gabe Sapolsky, ROH booker since its inception, was terminated from his employment with the company. For those on the outside, it was something totally unforeseen, and even many of those on the inside did not see it coming until it was announced publicly after the fact.Now you get to hear about it from the perspective of a man who was part of the office when it happened with Hagadorn, and from the perspective of the fan in Jeff who found out from a rather surprising voice over the phone. Of course we delve into the show too; Homicide's return to the company, the arrival of the police at the venue, making referees look stupid, snake charming, ankle injuries, and more!It's "Ring of Homicide 2", it's Gabe's last show, it's "An Honorable Mention" on The Creative Control Network & all your fave podcast providers!Oh, and we are sponsored by IVPVideos.com (where you can save 25% off your order with code AHM now)!-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Ring Of Homicide 210/25/08Edison, NJInman Sports ClubDark Tag Team MatchAlex Payne & Ernie Osiris vs. Ninja White & Ninja YellowDark MatchGrizzly Redwood vs. Vin GerardAnything Goes MatchAustin Aries vs. Jimmy JacobsTag Team MatchCheech & Cloudy vs. The Age Of The Fall (Brodie Lee & Delirious)Singles MatchDaizee Haze vs. Jessie McKay (w/Rhett Titus)Non Title Tag Team MatchWorld Tag Team Champions El Generico & Kevin Steen vs. The Osirian Portal (Amasis & Ophidian)FIP World Heavyweight Title MatchGo Shiozaki (c) vs. Necro ButcherSingles MatchBrent Albright vs. Chris Hero (w/Bobby Dempsey, Larry Sweeney, Shane Hagadorn & Sara Del Rey)Six Man Mayhem MatchClaudio Castagnoli vs. Davey Richards vs. Hallowicked vs. Jason Blade vs. Rhett Titus vs. Ruckus (w/Julius Smokes)Singles MatchJerry Lynn vs. Tyler BlackDream Tag Team MatchJay & Mark Briscoe vs. The Latin American Exchange (Hernandez & Homicide) (w/Julius Smokes)

In this episode Jim and Tom break down some news from the week, ranging from the Joker first look, Captain Marvel's trailer and Disney Play as well as other topics. Then they give their thoughts on their trip to Heroes and Villains Fanfest in Edison NJ, and then conclude the episode with three interviews Jim did at Keystone Comic Con. Interviews include: Chris Claremont (Creator of several X Men Character and comic book legend) @chrisclaremont on Facebook Steve Orlando (Midnighter, Bartman Eternal and Crude) @thesteveorlando on twitter and IG. Kevin Conroy (Batman the Animated Series and quite possibly the best Batman ever) The interviews touch on X Men Black, the newly announced Martian Manhunter comic series, and Batman stories.

He had his first major hit with “Shelter from The Storm”, which dominated the radio BDS 100’s charts for more than 16 weeks.His follow up single was a remake of ‘I Won’t Complain’ from the late Rev Paul Jones, which landed him his first win in the 2014 Chosen Voice Awards Tampa FL, as the ‘Best New Artist’. With such phenomenal success early on in his career, it is no wonder that the career of Donnell Isaac has come such a long way in such a short time period.How it all beganHe was first exposed to music when he was singing in the St. Paul Pentecostal Holiness Church Choir at the age of 9 in Portsmouth Virginia. His gift was nurtured in its infancy by his great aunt, Fairfield Jackson, who played a major role in developing his passion for music and singing. Donnell also sang in his family group, The Gospel Swannetts, in the early nineties, and performed numerous song with them, including, “Well Done”, and “Jesus, when Trouble Burdens Me Down”.He was raised in a multi-talented family, which shaped his passion and inspired him to dream about having a real career in music and songwriting. The very first song he wrote was “Happiness Is Just a Step Away", after which he came out with "Never Change Your Heart’s Desire" and "It’s My Season”. These songs are all about empowerment and dreaming towards getting a better life, and he performed them at numerous talent showcases, and charitable events, which includes performing at the YWCA of Newark NJ and Edison Job Corps of Edison NJ, and the Kessler Institute of West Orange NJ.A New Music Star RisesThe music that is created by Donnell Isaac touches the soul and that is the reason why he is so beloved by everyone that is exposed to his talent. Donnell has been performed at numerous big events, which stretch from the south, and include the International Music Festival and Shakespeare Festival in Nashville TN. He is a resident of Greensboro NC, a native of Portsmouth, Virginia, and is a singer, a songwriter, and a self- taught keyboardist.Donnell had a rough childhood, as he was raised in a town where poverty was rampant and drugs were prevalent. However, he credits growing up in that community with teaching him how to survive, and he didn’t let any of this bring him down and channeled all his energy into creativity. He has gone through numerous challenges, adversities, hurdles in life, which taught him how to survive in that environment and maintain his love for music.Making Music for the SoulIn an uncertain world, the refreshing and soul touching music of Donnell Isaac, which is uniquely fused with R&B Soul and Gospel music genres, grows into a powerful genre of music filled with love and happiness. It is music for the soul, which is beloved by all, and that is why the career of Donnell Isaac continues to go grow in leaps and bounds.Now Experience Soul singer Donnell Isaac has gone on an entirely new level with his powerful new single "Loving you” Donnell Isaac brings a sound to music industry that is unique, sultry and melodic.

Thank you. Jason:  [1:06] Soonest Natasha we always like to kick out these interviews by having our guest share a little bit about their background and and how they came into their current roles can you talk to us a little bit about how you got here. Scot And Nitasha:  [1:20] Sure, so I leave here and marketing at Fox I've been off for 2 years now which is been an amazing ride it's been really great to see Nvidia, be part of that tremendous growth that we've seen over the past two years. [1:45] Where in New Jersey part of, companies on Amazon on in Seattle on the content marketing team for Mobile Electronics, both been in the e-commerce and retail space for quite some time it seemed like a natural extension to. I joined by a couple years ago and really excited to be part of the team. Jason:  [2:14] Pretty cool and you have sort of the unique title how did you arrive at that title. Scot And Nitasha:  [2:21] Sure thought of Engagement really has a few different facets, my main focus is really customer retention and so hyper focus on customer really trying to understand how to find the light messages and promotion, for a customer at the right time until about one hundred percent of my focus, an email and push notifications are some of the channels that I meant along with programmatic direct mail and polka Matic display. I'm so if a pre-owned Compass Bohemian title for the customer experience. Jason:  [3:04] Very cool and I always is it I was like it when you invent your own titles so then you can be the the the absolute industry Guru of that title. Scot And Nitasha:  [3:16] Absolutely tell us a little bit more about what you did Amazon, sure so I managed a couple of our Mobile Electronics, Sanders and campaigns and so worked really closely with apple and Nike on MP3 players and GPS watches as well as Garmin and TomTom not going, population in 2010 Pacific or GPS devices, and though many of our on-site popcorn campaigns on the pop form as well as email probably manage over 100, weekly campaigns across multiple different brands and inventors Regal how. What do you think about Nike selling on Amazon since you can work for them on the device side maybe you have a point of view on on shoes. Yes but we home yet actually I'm actually not sure if if not user icon shoes yet but we were the first category with an Amazon to bring them on Direct, we had a relationship with with, GPS devices and so when they launched their campaign with TomTom we were able to bring them on which was really exciting at that point but to bring on the he has a venue one of the first category to do so. [4:46] And then how about a Samsung what did you do over there. I was on the Punic marketing team for tablet and so it's kind of on the opposite end of the spectrum working with Amazon as one of our customers and so Amazon was one of our largest suppliers, of iron tablets on other work today cuz they would Best Buy and Walmart on the channel marketing side. Managed promotions for tablets and this was also in 2012 when tablets, they still are but when tablets are really On The Rise and was a really exciting place to be at that time. Then see if it boxed for two years imagine you seen some pretty crazy growth were you like me were you in the first handful of employees. Boxed is only a couple years old right. That were about three years old I'm almost four actually and I started when we were almost. I would say and since then we've. More than quadrupled so tremendous girls were already running out of space at our third office and so it's been a really exciting ride to you there from you know the very early days. Free Colts and then does your role change or you've held the same role and just kind of taking over more and more pieces. Yeah I started in this little a lot of what I've done in the past really like me to. [6:23] Focus on being gagement in particular and so if I go so slow I've been taking on more over the past couple years and I also have a, rebagg ball and thunder marketing for work very closely with many of our Brands and suppliers that box as well. So so imagine boxed has like a typical retail that category teams and all that kind of stuff and even relations you guys have a fun center or is that, you don't do any of your phone that it's kind of 3 p.m. or something. No we do have our own system in it and you have 4 at Sears across the country and so we recently just launched our fourth in Dallas, a few months ago International in the contiguous 48 states. Are these kind of Amazon 1.2 million square feet kind of Caesar these are iMagic pile of it smaller a little bit smaller that we're pretty close. Jason:  [7:29] Nice and for listeners that maybe aren't totally familiar with box but I what's the how do you describe the the value prop with the elevator. Scot And Nitasha:  [7:38] Sure, and once on the last where the online mobile version of your wholesale Shopping Club but we don't have any membership fees and we have free shipping so anything that you normally go to the Wholesale Club on, and spend your entire Saturday shopping we will deliver on average in two days you and all your books eyes. As favorite. Jason:  [8:07] Don't you imagine the answers both but do you feel like are you primarily trying to take visits away from, Costco and Sam's Club so you're getting people to recreate that brick-and-mortar experience online or are you you trying to take visits away from Amazon or maybe Prime Pantry. Scot And Nitasha:  [8:26] I think it's Holloway coexist with all four, Costco fans and DJ's they don't have a strong online presence if they're putting a lot of focus on and so we also are targeting Millennials that may not necessarily, not on the ferry started shopping at his Wholesale Club yet and so. City dwellers and Millennial moms for example are really a huge Target of ours and and. A new that we can coexist with all four of these other retailers. Jason:  [9:06] Got you in what are the things that somewhat unique about the club stores that some listeners may be very familiar with and others might not is they tend to have different product configurations then art. Typically sold. [9:21] At what grocery stores or or even that are sold in Amazon Pantry so you know you might have A4 pack or an 8-pack, on a grocery store shelf and you might have 104 count in the club club store so we tend to call those Club packs is boxed primarily offering Club packs is that, are you getting the same configurations or something in between what's the. Scot And Nitasha:  [9:44] Yeah so we primarily focus on Club packs or the Bahamas you and so we work very closely with our suppliers on, customized packaging Pacific to eat, but still you know what's in the Fun Pack. Jason:  [10:01] Got you and is it has it been difficult like I I know traditionally in the old days Costco has a lot of Leverage I mean you know with a very small store account there the second largest retailer in the US. [10:14] I feel like they used to have these. These kind of draconian vendor agreements where they were the only ones that were allowed to carry a particular configuration so they had exclusivity on this card packs art are you finding it that's less true today or are you you getting. [10:29] That's like like a slightly different version of Quebec or how is that working are you. Scot And Nitasha:  [10:33] Yes yes, spell largely true what we do is negotiate a slightly different variation or size count for the econ version and so we wouldn't necessarily get a soda. cut exact size but we would have this form or variation different packaging specific for us. Jason:  [10:57] Got it in in in general is are you finding like is a big part of your value proposition. The value of the products that because they're buying, Club PacSun you're encouraging them to get a bigger cart that you're able to offer really aggressive pricing or is it the convenience and not having a slap all that big stuff from the store and to the car and all those sorts of things like what what what are the primary things that you think are really driving consumers to use you. Scot And Nitasha:  [11:26] I said was definitely convenient but I would say that's probably one of our, biggest differentiator is and trampolines that are not having for Lego these bolt size 3 six packs of paper towels home especially for myself living in your, I need to go around the corner to CVS every other day for items but I can just buy one time and had to deliver and open Venus was definitely one of our biggest value Problem by overall, we don't strive to be the cheapest prices online but the value of having the Club Vive, RX delivered to your door and not having to pay the annual membership fee is huge Michael. Imagine you being an ex Amazon person and you guys are in the kind of cpg category with a lot of your offerings what did you think about the whole Whole Foods Amazon acquisition any thoughts on. Hey I thought it was brilliant and it was 1030 now. Solution they haven't really nailed down the flash category I'm gone fast food. Growing but doesn't have the brand yet and so I think this really helps them and help them gain credibility within the fresh-faced and I'm usually beneficial cuz. [13:00] Because Whole Foods generally have a ton of presence of any and digital and for listening they're really going to help each other and. Smart across-the-board. [13:14] And then um the Amazon does have an offering it's it's left I found a lot of people don't know about it and it's kind of under serve but it's the Prime Pantry, and it seems like that kind of is there trying to solve, yeah kind of some more problem you guys are with a very different kind of a mechanism I've tried it before and it's like this weird gamification of fun the box and it's like hard to connect. So it's a lot of work it felt like to kind of like Phil the boxing and going to optimize it. You feel like you guys have a bit of a white space from Amazon that they haven't really solved the what you're doing or is there some overlap. Yeah it's a tough I think so I think Prime Pantry and doesn't it's like you mentioned has a brand awareness, have a very unique brand effect and the fact that we only focus on full and so that's her name differentiator from you, time pantries yet Enough full disclosure I'm a customer we will use it at my office so we have a startup and. Yeah it's the food is great for for that. My family is not quite big enough to eat it that much but booked through the guys have that it works great in an office of 20 people you know we get our and then ordering is is really nice to see you guys have done a good job of. Be able to reorder things. Jason:  [14:38] And for lizards that don't know Scot goes through a lot of snacks so that that's that's a meaningful. Scot And Nitasha:  [14:43] They were perfect for you, and B videos is the flying a huge focus of ours as well and so he's a pretty significant portion of our business that's dedicated to start up like yours. Jason:  [15:01] Nice I want to dive just a little bit more into how how you're interacting with Brands and how they view you the one thing on that last question I actually think you're. [15:13] Prime Pantry is almost the opposite of you write like the pantry is really. [15:19] A way for Amazon to sell the small packs and entice the customer to bundle enough small packs together that it's cost effective to ship them. And you're you're selling the big packs which are the things that Amazon normally is willing to sell as eaches even even on there. [15:36] They're the normal website if you will but. Honesty Bee Gees I think one of the interesting things that happen is when when Amazon announced the Whole Foods deal all the immediate talk is how that affects retailers right and you know who which retailers are most likely to be disrupted by by this new Force but I feel like there's been this, the secondary realization, did it's really a big wake-up call for the cpgs that may not have had very much focus on digital right so your. Your Procter & Gamble are Unilever or you know Kindle car for those folks, you know less than 1% of grocery is digital you know you're overwhelming largest customers are predominantly brick-and-mortar and so you know while you're starting to deal with digital it's for a tiny part of your business and now suddenly. You have the threat that that I can a very significant player could be disrupting your category with digital and so I wonder, like do you see that that will you know potentially make some of your your brand Partners more digitally Savvy and maybe more open to, trying things digitally with with folks like yourselves like I could almost imagine that that's a favorable trend for you. Scot And Nitasha:  [16:54] Yeah absolutely and I think we've started to see that Trend over the past few years to the fact that many Brands now have a shopper marketing team but are largely focused on digital, I live in joy tea of my contacts that I have you, contact conversations with our phone that Shopper marketing team and their. Much savvy are there in they were you know. Four or five years ago and I'm so I already started to see that Trend shifts and I completely agree I think especially with this whole foods deal it will continue to grow in that direction and more. Jason:  [17:38] The absolutely, you don't want of the interesting things insert a traditional Shopper marketing there there's a lot of tactics in addition to getting the product on the shelf that are commonly used right like so there's lots of merchandising in Coop and Brands paying for. And positioning in sampling in and we see some of that, on on the Amazons in Walmart's of the world is that something that boxed is doing today in terms of like offering digital promotional opportunities for for brands or is that something you're you'll consider as you you advance. Scot And Nitasha:  [18:13] No it's actually something that we are already offering which we probably started about a year-and-a-half ago and so we probably, oh and enjoy these are real estate on both of our site as well as our ass. And we called many of the placement of virtual and caps and so no at a play on the freaking water and cat food but, definitely in English. And excitement and engagement over these placement over the past year as well which which continues with that trend of Brands moving becoming more more digitally body. Recool the one of the the trends at Costco I don't know about the other clubs but they have the Kirkland brand which is which is their private label and. And I don't know where it started but it's become quite popular and they sell Auntie mall and that's primarily what they sell is that private label. I think Amazon is actually sells Kirkland it's odd it's kind of taking a life of its own and it's one of the they sell more Kirkland online than Costco does. Los customer you guys I really like you guys have a similar offering called Prince and spring maybe tell us a little bit about the rationale of that and how is that going. [19:33] So if the really started off with just paper towels and toilet paper so two in the fact that he's package good that everyone needs an Zen, there's huge opportunity there and really being into stop there and our category that's really dominated by another down even the Sherman and so we started that. A couple years ago and has expanded the printing spring assortment free significance and it's a huge Focus for the company the team has been. Growing pretty rapidly and now we offer everything from toilet paper to flushable wipes to hangers and most recently it was only just launched, coffee and so both ground and whole bean coffee all Source locally. And it's if it's not stopping there we're watching chemo and moving into the food and beverage States as well and so is definitely a huge Focus for us. And I know she have one of things we love in our office is K-Cup coffee and but it's quite expensive in and noticed your private label is almost like half price of, what other offerings are which is which is nice. And it and it tastes good, okay on the so Jason and mentioned you know the brands and in the things do they eat. [21:09] How do you navigate having that private label when you're also trying to get the sharman's in the bounties on the side I met you the good news is you're not the first kind of. Company to do this so I guess it's pretty well-read and ground for him. Yeah I really just increases over all share with in that category we haven't seen any kind of libation going either way and so again you know I think there is. There are products that are recognizable that you would always want, I'm to partner with and and a sore on our site but if we can offer a different selection a different place with wood, in terms most likely Target a different type of customer your that's really are our strategy that. Jason:  [21:58] Got it so I love the fact that you're you're competing with traditional clubs. In the digital space because I fear going to talk about Costco in particular like they're very admirably retail or they do a lot right so I'm really not trying to pick on them but I freakin called them the biggest digital Luddite in the retail industry. I think it's very overt like I think they've just made a strategic decision. We don't want to be digital we don't want to give the customer any reason not to visit our stores and why lie. [22:33] Can kind of understand that sentiment like ice you know I and I suspect most of our listeners on the digital podcast probably feel like that somewhat short-sighted but In fairness to them it hasn't really shown up on their balance statement yet so. But what's interesting there model is sell stuff at the lowest margin possible they're super aggressive on price and their primary profit driver is those Club memberships. You guys obviously aren't doing the membership and that's one of your value props is get those Club packs and get that convenience without the membership. Bed so I presume you have to make more money selling the goods and then you have this this really inconvenient cost that we all struggle within e-commerce which is shipping. So [23:23] Like do you guys have any strategies for keeping the the shipping costs under control I mean I know it feels like that's a ever-increasing. Cause we talk a lot on the podcast about the fact that e-commerce is growing at like 20 to 30% and the shipping guys capacities growing it like 8% and so there a. They're constrained commodity and what they're doing is there charging more for their service as a result. Scot And Nitasha:  [23:48] What does, we offer free shipping on all orders over 49 so that definitely helps with the shipping fees and then on top of that the majority of our orders, the average order size is 9 - 10 items so we are stuck up service our customers are. [24:19] Play higher than an Amazon sample or the typical or sides or just one or two products are order which does largely affect shipping but because that were able to eat shipping costs low. Jason:  [24:33] Gotcha and I guess one of the things that somewhat surprised me. [24:40] Based on your category in the types of items that customers get from you I almost would have expected to see some sort of subscription service and I know Scott mentioned you have really convenient reorder service but if you guys ever you know. [24:53] Like is that an over decision you made not to do some scription and says that something that could be in the roadmap what's the scoop on subscriptions. Scot And Nitasha:  [25:01] Potentially be on the road that is something that we have considered especially for certain items but. Customers into typically reorder like baby next absolute spend baby products for subscription type of service and so that only something like thinking about. [25:21] I may be remembering this wrong but when boxed first launched my recollection is was kind of a mobile app only kind of a thing and then later the desktop was added and again maybe I misremember yet, but kind of curious about that mix of of mobile and desktop, again I kind of like the desktop version cuz usually I'm doing it when I'm at work and I can kind of like, see the product better in that kind of thing but any interesting insights you can share what you guys have learned there. Definitely the launch of the mobile app for mobile first and also. Attack company first and so the majority of our employees are actually on the tax team. The innovator and improving Dorothy experiences while I was excited. And so we launched shortly thereafter. The first years mobile is the majority of purchase it. And the letters how many of our customers prefer to shop through the source of the app the app is really is a convenient option I personally love using the app for me order items, simple to put process reorder and so I think, you're having both options really great for a different use cases. [26:57] And then you know I mentioned earlier and you said this is kind of growing part but the kind of a b2c and B2B element. Did you guys start leaning into the B2B when you kind of saw how people were using things or or tussle bit more about that kind of how that came to be in in anything you can share on mix or anything would be interesting. Stressful that continue growing our business. Meet by the natural extension of epoxy started as a beauty popcorn but because you are stuck up service and deliverable and our own office manager or just the front, LIRR employees I really am from cartoons and truly, is our employees love the snacks in the Beverages and we need the paper towels in the toilet paper it just seemed like a natural extension and now that team has been curling pretty, pretty quickly as well for the past year the huge Focus for us this year and in 2018. Yeah I imagine that it's kind of where we also use you guys for a funeral off the office supplies again the kind of packaging is good as is that kind of where, those got out at imagine before you saw the business side there wasn't a lot of the office stuff. Right yet you continue to add a lot more selection within the office based off as we start to it as we continue to build out that part of our business. [28:33] Wrinkle. Jason:  [28:34] I love that strategy like the more Tech Guys you higher than more snacks yourself. Scot And Nitasha:  [28:39] Very true it's hard to keep snacks in stock at our office. Jason:  [28:51] Hopefully that permit person has a good promo code. Scot And Nitasha:  [28:54] Exactly. Jason:  [29:02] So going back to the very beginning of our conversation reengagement like one of the. [29:09] The huge challenges for all online retailers in particular 84 PurePlay online retailers is, customer acquisition right and I think of sort of the big big player and in the space for the last couple years has been Jet and you know they famously spent, a fortune on each customer in terms of active acquisition cost what's your strategy around acquiring customers and driving that customer value are there any particular tactic sure, you're relying on and any that have been predicted successful. Scot And Nitasha:  [29:44] Sorry we pretty much, across the board in terms of acquisition and retention but specifically acquisition-related focus on TV we launched our first, ad campaign, the beginning of last year and then we launched another one towards the end of the year I'm working on the 3rd right now as well at Subway has been really. I'm really surprised MC Market and so really you know building on the Branded dolphin and having that constant exposure in key markets and then print has been used for us in terms of acquisition so, somewhere to check that is invested a time and direct mail and print we're also focusing quite a bit on that in terms of opposition. Jason:  [30:35] Done at night I can majun Subways particularly clever because you know one one large segment of Shoppers that have kind of excluded from the the brick-and-mortar club folks are our folks that don't use that car. Scot And Nitasha:  [30:49] Exactly. Jason:  [30:54] Yeah so it's interesting you just mentioned a lot of a sort of old-school old-world advertising techniques and I almost wonder in some ways. For Pure digital play like you know your tendon running a lot of companies that are predominantly doing digital marketing if you know some of the. The print stuff could potentially be less crowded these days and so the I don't know the signal-to-noise ratio for that kind of campaign could almost be better than it used to be. Scot And Nitasha:  [31:20] I agree and that's what we're seeing as well we still have a huge focus on digital Facebook it's probably one of our largest and channels in terms of opposition but. Agreed and turn the prince and then even some of some other channels that are starting to come back that aren't necessarily a saturated such as SMS. Is also accused opportunity more suffering gagement but. I do see a trend of some of these older. More mature Channel coming back and playing in a very saturated space which is digital right now. Jason:  [32:01] Yeah have you experimented with any direct mail I that that detention I guess is another one is those mailboxes are a little less full than they used to be. Scot And Nitasha:  [32:10] Yeah we have actually up until I say about a year-and-a-half ago really focus on really use direct mail for acquisition purposely targeting a specific, Tor zip code and planning our campaigns around that and then we started, staying programmatic direct now on and this was a brand-new way to rain gauge with friends were really excited to touch with and so we started talking with with a company called pebble. Jason:  [32:45] Until what what is pebblepost doing for you. Scot And Nitasha:  [32:49] So we didn't micholi at 35 thing with them at to be engaged with, you think I unsubscribe from our email and go up until that and if the only way. Really engaged or engage with current customers with email or push campaigns or display programmatic campaign and so this was really exciting opportunity to, customer that had unsubscribe from our emails I wear either unengaged from them or didn't like the content, and Shannon promos and Deals if they were still active on our site, and so how probable works is if a user within our specific segment. I'm sorry sight but downstairs and doesn't convert within that session I will postal actually trigger ascend, I'm at our postcard or catalog to that user within 2 to 3 days and it's extremely relevant and targeted. He started targeting users 8th on what products are what category is actually viewed when they did visit the site and it's completely different, customer they essentially then either too we send email to which is also a very saturated space. Jason:  [34:08] For sure and I guess what I love about that is it it it's almost like analog retargeting like that you're at you know what, it's their heads Fades retargeting but but via that that analog channel that the you know is potentially a little less saturated that's brilliant, like you mentioned course email is is very saturated but generally when I talked to folks that still is one of the better Roi tactics for them I'm assuming email is still in your mix as well. Scot And Nitasha:  [34:36] Yeah yeah you know this is one of our additional in terms of retention and so I'm still still. Going to be a huge Focus for us I don't see that changing anytime soon but then again you know a good email campaign may get 20 to 30% open rates right over so even 70% users on the table that were unable to engage with info, when you think about the number of impression that you get from a physical piece of mail. Not only two eyeballs but depending on how larger household is because I get a multiple Impressions on a daily basis if you're like me I leave mail sitting on the counter for 2 weeks, are we by the time. Convergex that amount of exposure is incredible and. Target's a completely different user than those who are very email so good. Yeah I think blue apron's a Believer I'd get something from those guys like every every five minutes from from email. Jason:  [35:54] Yeah I think they're actually just looking to step up the the advertising spend is there they're trying to preserve that IPO. Scot And Nitasha:  [36:02] Call. Jason:  [36:06] One of the things when we talked to folks about the efficacy of their their digital campaigns and particularly email like the big Trend you go to any of the shows these days and you know you throw a rock in your hit 30 sort of personalization vendors, and it seems like you know the the big the big pitch is always personalization on those marketing channels is that. Something you're experimenting with is that working or overhyped or what's your what's your POV on that. Scot And Nitasha:  [36:33] No I think that's a huge Focus for us and something that we have in focus on for quite some time is really. Affiliate emphasizing, a one-to-one customize messages creating triggered messages they found customers havior or purchase Behavior I think that is, Chris Lyons messages and 101 customize messages that we can send that, that is our Focus night and definitely something that have a person and direct now is also helping out with. Just imagine visiting our site and going to our baby category and for some reason or another you don't have, and upconverting with another question but then three days later you received a postcard in the mail and the content is all babies focus with navy at 20% off discount any baby item on site. And I think that opportunity there is tremendous in terms of customization. [37:41] Quinn and you guys are actually doing that or that something you're doing up for it we are doing currently. So you have that level of of targeting and whatnot in the mail program. One thing I know you guys do as you have boxed bold which I think is your cash back program and then you have a loyalty program total bit about those and what they're geared towards. [38:07] Bacco program is our partnership with Emma and so if you aren't a customer and you make a purchase on Fox with your AMEX card, you automatically given golden box full which is free shipping. And 3% cash back on all orders so for any regular customer or Montana? I'm a class program is 1% cash back on every single order and so the more you order from box and more. Cash back you get and then a mess up my little get 3% cash back. In the free shipping it just lemonade to the the $50 threshold or how does. And then said so as a shopper it's kind of interesting it kinda reminds me to Chatta although it doesn't have like the sum of the jet elements because you know when you're first starting your kind of like, I can't tell if I'm going to save much and it is you kind of go though you just saving it feels like you're saving more and more than like and I was just paid on my NX I didn't really realize I was into some of their special thing, yeah time to get through you realize you actually saved quite a bit is that that tensioner. Explain that rational so it's a little bit different than that where the more you ask the car somewhere you're saving, our cash back program is based on the total part value so if you're sending $100 in the order then you're going to get $1. [39:46] So you can see it anytime in your account and so the more times you purchase was box you build on your cash back value. Jason:  [39:58] Interesting like one of the challenges with those kinds of value props. And when it's there's almost a little bit of gamification and you're certainly like driving customer lifetime value with the dollars back but I guess the downside is. You know a customer super price sensitive about one item and they log on your website and they look at the price of diapers and they go somewhere else and look at the price in the. The total savings may not be reflected in that item priced it does that work against you or. Scot And Nitasha:  [40:31] I'm sorry I think they're a lot better value popsci we offer letter. Different art differentiators but you have so we may not if you, don't have it the cheapest price on say it's more about the experience I would say we should we offer to free samples on every order so it's somewhere to go wholesale, shop in Carthage Area 3. A lot of people go just for the samples so we've kind of levitated that online so you can choose to free samples on every order you'll get the 1% cash back on every order on, free shipping or no membership see if I think all and all the customer experience really speak for itself, and then not to mention I don't know if you receive battery if you notice it in your box. But we also have handwritten notes, to every customer that I was just too so there's a nation with personalized S5 to our entire order earrings as well. Yeah I seen that kind of borrows from the chewy folks today I don't know who started it first but they were always well known for them yeah. Jason:  [41:41] Scot Scot has a giant collection of postcards that same and you guys order a lot of Oreos. Scot And Nitasha:  [41:46] Call podcast research those for them the Mondelez episode. Jason:  [41:52] Exactly. Scot And Nitasha:  [41:53] Oh yes we've done a Facebook live with it with model eating Oreos so and said I love you. Jason:  [42:02] Very cool I'm sad to see their stock went down based on the Amazon announcement talking about the impact on cpgs. [42:12] Yeah but I'm glad you mentioned the sampling cuz that feels like untapped area for a lot of e-commerce players I'm imagining. The sampling is one of those areas that you're able to use as a shopper marketing program for your Brands is that true. Scot And Nitasha:  [42:27] Yeah, a huge part of our current marketing strategy with our suppliers and and they love it because it's a great way for us to testing products and so for considering a sorting a new item, stumbling program is a great way to see how our customers will respond to it and then we could also be engaged and put those customers after the fact and send them offers on the full size items, we do I said or some I am based on what they've actually chosen to add the car, and a kind of potential there and you're offering, products that are new to the platform or just even leave I wasn't as limited-time offers or so you're a big focus and comes over sampling strategy. Jason:  [43:17] Yeah and so this could potentially be controversial but do you work the your private labels into the sampling program as well. Scot And Nitasha:  [43:26] Especially when we launch a new product and that's one of the first places that I will want to watch it as is the other sampling program. Jason:  [43:36] Yeah I love that tactic again it just, there you know so many boxes are going out right now not taking that opportunity to introduce that customer to other high-margin products that they could potentially get addicted to seems like a real mess for a lot of players so I love that congratulations. Scot And Nitasha:  [43:53] Yeah. Thank you I absolutely agree especially for a brand that many new customers haven't heard of other don't know much about a great way to introduce it to them. [44:07] Cool one thing I thought was kind of a little bit of a non sequitur I was navigating through the site looking at different categories and of the, one that really stuck out as being an unusual was hotel and travel with, what's that all about. Last week and end of the following, today this is something that our partnership Cena's been working really hard on it and we're really excited about it at all so seem like a, a natural extension for box, I still have our vacation packages and now our customers and can go on and and really find some of the best hotel deals I played around with that and I haven't found better deals for for many of the hotel but that I was searching and so. A great. Please our customers I think of a natural extension of the business. So your Skype now getting a new variety of non-physical kind of stuff. [45:19] Yeah if I see if you're on Boston you're looking as backup for your home or your business and why not be able to book a vacation and at the same time and so. Skyler really excited about this and they don't I don't think this I think this is the beginning of a much larger partnership. Jason:  [45:42] Very interesting you don't I'm curious so we talked a lot about your business today we talked you know you're in a category that's, I would characterize a sort of digitally immature and so you know you're an advanced digital player in a in a space that that seems like it's just on the verge of getting disrupted if you jump in your time machine and look forward to your two, you know how do you see the the industry in your category changing do you think it's going to look a lot like it looks now do you think it's going to change dramatically. Scot And Nitasha:  [46:17] What I think with the time by we mentioned before especially with the Whole Foods acquisition I think, more and more brands are going to invest more dollars into digital and we're already starting to see that now are at the econ, your arms of specific brands are growing larger and larger and they have a lot more, and as well and so I see that really being a huge opportunity over the next year or so so really, incident and create a new and exciting opportunities with some of these friends, one thing that I think that I went really love about working with fox, is the fact that we're so small and then bowl and we're willing to Casting things and new features and so we've actually created features for a brand based on some of their preferences, and though I see that continuing to be a trend machine shine over the next year or so. Jason:  [47:21] Very cool III suspect that as as you know the brand start getting really serious about digital alike as we see some consolidation of you know there's a very long time grocery at the moment and brick-and-mortar grocery. Anna. [47:37] You know it feels like there's almost this bifurcation that you're going to potentially benefit from that like the traditional grocery store is getting really disrupted because it's it's starting to be really driven by fresh and organic. And you know so so folks are looking for. One experience to get that really fresh stuff and then once you have that really fresh stuff you say are you know what's the most convenient way to get all the rest of my. My goods in so it almost feels like. [48:04] You know where I used to do everything as a One-Stop shopping at Kroger now I'm starting to see people you know that are. Going to all the or Trader Joe's or Whole Foods for their they're fresh and then they're relying more on club or. You know are are big online friends for for all of those replenishment items. Scot And Nitasha:  [48:25] Construe. Jason:  [48:29] Well nitasha congrats on your success so far. I think that's going to be a good place to wrap up because it is happen again we've perfectly wasted all of our a lot of time. So when a remind the listeners that they're always welcome to continue the dialogue on our Facebook page and of course have you liked this episode we'd sure appreciate a review on iTunes if you didn't like this episode just send an email to Scott. [48:55] Nitasha thanks very much for being on the show and joining us. Scot And Nitasha:  [49:00] Thank you so much for having me as a pleasure to hop on the podcast you guys are building in wish you guys nothing but the best. I thought I think you sound like. Jason:  [49:16] Until next time happy commercing.
