Ty

Did anyone else have an issue with downloaded locations on GoSpot today for Ty? Mine still don’t show even after contacting the scheduler.

I did. I tried updating it and it still didn't do the trick. So, I deleted it and downloaded it again and it worked perfectly.

I did the same. Did not download until 12:30 pm my time. I had a day planned out. So I have an unplanned day off.

Sometimes an unplanned day off is good, and sometimes it's bad. LOL Did you get it to work?

Yes I did! I have 117 store first visit so I have my route mapped out so I can do other projects in between. I just had to adjust the route. I like to Sundays because the traffic not as bad in the cities.

117 stores! You are a warrior!

I don’t know about that but I gets it done. My second visit only have 79 locations. Thank you ❤️

I am not too far from you. I have a lot as well. I actually want more. My second part of the month is about half.

You have a full time job!

I saw a Ty spinner at an airport snack store at ATL tonight. And then had to wonder who made it look so nice and organized!

Many of the ones I have seen lately are very low on stock. They must be having trouble getting people to do them.

Have you all asked for more than the base $12 on these? I did my first one today and I was confused on if the majority were med or small so I counted them all the same.

I can see why shoppers/merchandisers do routes of these shops. Once you've straightened up the display(s), the next time is easier. I generally do bonused ones and earn my pay. But I have one with another merchandising job in a small town which makes it worth the work.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Yes. I get $20 a store as a monthly route and then I'll pick up others that get to $25 or $30 if I have time.

For the most part, 90%+ of the stuffed animals on the round displays will be size small. There is a size guide on the front page of the guidelines. Might take a measuring tape next time and measure a few different sizes on the display so you can quickly spot them next time.

Once you see a medium(or a large) you will definitely know. If you aren't sure, then it is a small.

I merchandise and do gas station audits full time. I make my routes work for me. I make a great deal amount of money and very flexible.

I see a lot like that then the location be on my next month route lol.

They generally offer more in big routes. I’ve been doing the majority of the same ones every month since October. I refuse to do them for less than what I get paid in a route. I do however scoop up some f the bonuses ones if it’s in an area i am in.

I did my first TY shop this past weekend. It was on the board for $35. Pretty easy. Items are on an end cap, and they had no backstock or displays to set up. No one to speak to about placing an order.

I very rarely see them listed and never in my county and I live in a well populated area. The ones I do see are at least an hour from me and they only pay $10.

This is the going rate ($10) for our area in central CA also. I have done them for $23 but only after waiting and waiting for the scheduler to reply to my emails stating that is my fee. Never have I seen them for more than that. They increase by $3, then $3 then, well you get the picture which takes FOREVER to get to a decent fee.

The TY shops in my area rarely get above $15, and the available shops are usually south of me by at least 10 miles or so. I'd like to scout 'em in advance to try and get an idea of how much time / effort they'll take, but at this point it's not work that legwork.

cmrgray: are your fees the same $10-$15?
