Occasionally a post on Daring Fireball reads something like this:
After being sold out for months, the upcoming sponsorship schedule at DF is unusually open at the moment—especially this week!
I don’t sell sponsorship, I sell me, but at the highest level we both trade in what we might call perishable inventory;
- A hotel room not sold on Monday night can’t be sold Tuesday.
- John can’t sell this week’s sponsorship next week.
- If I don’t bill today I can’t catch up tomorrow.
I’ll be back with some more thoughts, but for now, I’m just letting this lie.
