Summit Creative’s Post

Happy Friday, fam! Thought it would be fun to talk gear for a minute. If you’re interested, here’s my latest purchase and why I made it. Every once in a while, I like to upgrade my equipment so my production quality continues to trend upward. Usually it’s a new light or a new mic and, this time, it was a new set of wireless mics. I’ve seen influencers and creators of all kinds use these small box mics, but I’ve never had the desire or budget to try one. On Black Friday, though, I ran across a lower priced version that had really good reviews and decided to give it a shot. It’s called the SYNCO G2A2 Max. While the Rode and DJI ones are $300-350, these were $150 and came with a few more accessories as well. The sound quality isn’t EXACTLY the same, but for my purposes, it’s everything I want. I’m always on the hunt for a perfect blend of budget and quality and these guys fit the mold. What do you think after listening to the audio? Worth it? Also, y’all want me to start sharing some of the gear I have? I always do a bunch of research before I buy so it’s fun to share what I’ve learned. I’ll link the mics in the comments in case you’re interested (fair warning, though, they’ve gone up to $190 since BF). Can’t wait to talk about it! Have a great weekend fam 🤟 ___________ Enjoy this post? If so, give it a thumbs up (or a heart if it really hit). And be sure to follow me, Daniel Brenneman 💛 so you learn how to become memorable and referable by turning your narrative into your niche.

Over the years, Record Store Day has become an integral part of our brand’s success. Not only does this event drive significant revenue (we’re talking 25% of the entire year), but it also introduces us to countless new fans from across the nation. RSD is all about the fans. It’s about letting them know you have what they are looking for. They may have no idea who we are, but thanks to Google they’ve found us, and are eager to spend. We can’t pretend that RSD is just an in-store experience anymore, Instead, know that there’s so many fans out there who don’t have independent record stores in their area. They must relying on post-event opportunities to secure a copy of whatever release they are dying to have in their collection. This is where Pop Music has found tremendous success. Our event this past April saw 600 online orders placed by fans across the globe in the first hour of what we call ‘RSD Online’. This is the day after the event, where we are permitted to sell remaining titles online. This has become as big as the event day itself, to the point where I’m buying quantities knowing full well, that the audience for these titles goes beyond my four walls. It’s all a gamble. The event this week in particular, is extra risky with the postal strike as shipping options that fans have come to expect are more costly based on alternate carriers. Will the desire outweigh the expense, only time will tell.

A beer, a soda and an apple. The favourite superbowl ads of all time - as voted by the people. After the Superbowl extravaganza is over, we asked the Amercians what was their favourite Superbowl ad not of 2024 but of all time. And the results are - predictably - stunning. But they also differ quite significantly from this year's ads. Which makes you wonder, how long the class of 2024 will have an impact?

BLACK MARKETING ? Despite the prior announcement that tickets for Coldplay’s concert on the 18th and 19th jan 2025 would be available through the official sales partner, BookMyShow from 22nd September. many of us experienced significant technical issues as the ticket window opened at 12 p.m. As soon as the clock struck 12, BookMyShow's servers began showing errors, and those attempting to purchase tickets from various cities were unable to access the platform until 12:12 p.m. By the time the site was operational again, all tickets were sold out, leaving many of us stuck in the waiting room. Shockingly, just moments later, tickets appeared on other platforms like Viagogo, being resold at 3-20 times the original price listed on BookMyShow. This blatant example of black market ticket reselling and unethical practices deserves urgent attention. Such fraudulent behavior calls for a thorough investigation by the relevant Indian authorities, and Coldplay, as a partner in this event, should condemn these practices that exploit genuine fans. It is imperative that the government audits these ticket sales, cracks down on illegal reselling, and ensures accountability for such unethical practices. #StopTicketScalping #BlackMarketTicketing #ConsumerRightsIndia #AntiCorruption #TicketFraud #ColdplayIndia #ChrisMartin #ColdplayTickets #ColdplayConcert #StopOnlineFraud #ViagogoFraud #BookMyShowScam #FightTicketScalping #ColdplayFansIndia #BlackMarketing #ConsumerProtection #AntiCorruption #TicketScalping #BlackMarket #ConsumerRights #FightFraud #DigitalRights #StopTicketScalping #ColdplayConcert #StopTicketFraud #OnlineFraud #FairMarket #AntiBlackMarketing #CompetitionCommissionOfIndia #EconomicOffencesWing #EnforcementDirectorate JagoGrahak India CCI India Admin @dir_ed @cbi_india @consaff MAHARASHTRA POLICE TIMES @MahaPolice Maharashtra Cyber @PMOIndia @PMOMaharashtra

👀 I built something fun with my friend Justin. Did you know? Major retailers like Target, Walmart, CVS, and others offer thousands of dollars in “virtual” manufacturer coupons through their loyalty programs (CVS ExtraCare, Target Circle, etc..), but there's a catch — you have to manually "clip" each one before you check out at the store for the savings to apply. Most people don't have time for that, leaving money on the table every shopping trip. That's why we built The Clip Club. It's simple: 1. Create an account (takes 15 seconds) 2. Link your loyalty accounts (45 seconds, tops) 3. The Clip Club automatically clips EVERY available coupon for you, every day, and loads them into your loyalty accounts 4. When you're checking out in the store, just enter your phone number at the pin pad like usual. And that's it! All the savings will apply automatically. 🤑 🏪 The Clip Club is already live at 20 major retailers including: • Target • Walmart • CVS • Walgreens • Publix • Albertsons • Safeway ...and we have many more coming soon! No more scrolling through endless coupon pages or forgetting to clip that $5 off deal. We handle it all automatically. It’s free for the next few months as we test out the product, so try it out at theclipclub.com, and ping me if you have any feedback / store suggestions!
