Here's the counterintuitive truth: Sometimes, the "boring" choice is the smartest one. That tried-and-true CMS or programming language? It might just be your ticket to long-term stability and scalability. Why does this matter? Because today, agility is everything. The wrong tech decisions can anchor your business down, while the right ones propel you forward. Don't let FOMO drive your tech decisions. Focus on your business goals, not fleeting trends. Ready to make tech choices that actually serve your bottom line? Let's talk. Quarry's expertise cuts through the hype to deliver solutions that grow with you.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 - 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟱 Backend Work: Web Development & more The not so fun stuff...let's begin! Once you have your product idea validated, you're going to be going through the outreach process with manufacturers. Once you find a few that suits your product needs, you'll get those samples & narrow it down to a final manufacturer. Then you'll go through the design process we discussed about last week. During this time, you should be working on a Shopify webpage, or hiring someone to build a nice landing page for you! Again, places like Fiverr, Upwork, and Dribbble are all great, affordable places if you're not tech savvy. I build my website myself! Check it out here: https://buff.ly/3M8Z2iB While you're doing that, you should be working with an agency or freelancers on the logo designs & final tweaks to your graphics, A+ content, & other storefront and web design projects. That's it for today! If you want to see more of my brand journey, shoot me a follow here @tonafba for more content & tips/tricks like this!

Why Your Startup Is Failing: You're Chasing Product-Market Fit the WRONG Way! 🚨 Nick McEvily Take: Product-market fit isn’t something you "find"—it’s something you consistently create. I recently spoke with Nick McEvily, Fractional Product Leader, and his perspective changed how I see product development: 💡 Without human validation, you’re building tech in a vacuum. If you can’t find people to talk to about your product idea, you won’t find people to buy it either. The solution? ✅ Treat validation as an ongoing process, not a one-time event. ✅ Test small, gather feedback, iterate - then repeat. ✅ Understand your buyers as humans, not just "users. 👉 Founders: How much time are you dedicating to real conversations with your market? #strategy #techgrowth #startup #businessstrategy #product #marketfit

If you’re buying CTV at a cheap CPM, you’re going to run out of quality inventory at this stage of the election. You simply won’t be bidding enough to stay competitive in a late money marketplace. That’s why our dynamic pricing structure adjusts based on election timing and market competitiveness. As we get closer to Election Day, we need to spend more to win high quality placements and cut through the noise. A recent study we conducted at DSPolitical concluded higher CPMs and lower frequency was more likely to persuade voters than lower CMPs and higher frequency. Cheap inventory simply doesn’t deliver results. You get what you pay for.
