Back from TNNA - Indy

I got back late Monday night and have spent the last two days getting caught up.

The response to the Marketing Edge has been fantastic… beyond my wildest dreams, in fact.

I have always been confident about its usefulness and I feel strongly that it could be the key to survival for many of us in these challenging times. I was immensly gratified that many of the retailers saw the potential immediately.

I am setting the Retailers site up as a two tier membership site. The software is being installed even as I type. I hope to have the site go live by the end of this week.

Membership will be vetted, since I don’t want non-professionals involved.

The timing on all of this has been remarkable. I explained about the importance of using a double-optin email system on Friday. On Saturday, one of the retailers who had taken my class stopped by the booth to tell me that AOL is blocking her show report emails!

I had been going to put up the info quickly but now I realize that the problem has started so this will some of the initial info I put up.

I want to get the Retailers site up and running and then I will start on the Designers site, probably at the end of the summer.
