Join Artsy Catsy's Catvisory Board!

Hello everyone, it's Ivan, Information Technology Director at Artsy Catsy. I don't post often because I'm totally occupied with designing and implementing our upcoming e-commerce website, ArtsyCatsy.com. Quite frankly, it's going to take more than one meezer geek to accomplish this task, and I'm running WAY behind. So Fracas, our Vice-President, and I had an idea. Let me bring Fracas in to tell you about it so I can get back to my bits and bytes:

Hey there, Fracas here, a bit wiped out from all the work around here! As VP, I'm in charge of market research and megatons of other stuff, so I told Ivan our new web site needs to be designed by the people who will visit it --- CAT LOVERS! --- not just by a geeky meezer and a couple of crazy human artists! So here's the plan:

I'm forming a 30-member Artsy Catsy Catvisory Board, and I'm here to invite you to participate! I promise to make it fun, and I'm throwing in some incentives. Everyone on our Catvisory Board will receive:

* an ArtsyCatsy.com Gift Certificate for $25;
* the pride of knowing you helped cats in need by helping Artsy Catsy succeed (we donate 10% of all proceeds to organizations that help cats in need)
* our eternal gratitude!

There are only two requirements for you to join our Catvisory Board:

1) You love cats (or you are a cat)
2) You have made purchases from two or more e-commerce websites.

I also promise not to overwork you. Here's what you'll be doing: From now until September (when we plan to launch our website) I'll periodically ask your opinion about elements of the website and/or our products. I may sometimes email questions to you, and sometimes I will post an assignment for you on our blog. Your very important input will help us make decisions about color choices, design elements of the site, products to create, services to offer, etc. It will also help prevent us from making fools of ourselves!

If you would like to join Artsy Catsy's Catvisory Board, just send an email by Monday, June 18 to ArtsyCatsy AT Yahoo DOT com, and provide the following information:

1) What is your full name?
2) Name two or more websites from which you have made purchases.
3) What payment method do you most often use for online purchases?
4) If you have designed a blog(s), please tell us the URL(s).
5) If you have ever designed a website(s), please tell us the URL(s).

That's it! And remember, we will be selecting only 30 members for our Catvisory Board, so get those emails to us by Monday, June 18!

Exactly, Samantha, Tigger & Mom! An e-commerce site is any site from which you can buy stuff.

Hi - We would be willing to give you any help we can... but we do not want anything in return. Our human builds websites and knows some "tricks"... we can't wait to see what is up your paw sleeves! This is exciting!

Everyone: You don't have to know anything about designing websites to be on our Catvisory Board - Getting advice from cat lovers in general is what we're after! As long as you can say, 'I like this better than that' ... then you're perfectly qualified to be on our Board!

My human has sent you an email--well I insisted. I'm the one with taste around here.

Mr. Hendrix said...

wow Fracas & Ivan, you look tired. I'll bet you are working hard. Time for a nip break. Maybe some fresh water or tuna juice would make you more alert.
We sent an email to you!

Hi Artsy Catsy!! We are way behind on commenting... we have a lot to catch up on! 1. We are glad you got your site back! 2. Happy Peace Day. 3. We say Bravo to your beans and neighbors for helping those Bees!! That sounds like a lot of work, but really important work! 4. We won't be able to join your advisory board because we can't be counted on to check blogs regularly or even our own email account... but if there is anything we can do for free, we would be happy to help!!

Thank you forrr visiting me on my new blog. I only rrrecently discoverrred catblogging thank you to my cousins Kimo and Sabi. I can offerrr honest opinions at rrrandom times--because my beans have 3 little beans (does that make them beanie babies?) and they trrravel often. I do love to take photos if that helps?

As I said in my email, I think this is a fabulous idea. :) Getting user feedback at the design stage is usually very helpful, if at times frustrating. ;)

Donny and Marie and Casey said...
