Travis:
I agree the new site is more difficult than the old one, but we are moving from a Yuga to a BMW. Many more options and benefits. It's like getting a new cel phone, it will take a few weeks to get the hang of using it. But when you do, you will wonder how you ever lived without it and never want to go back.
As for the posts, most of them were very old, before we took over the StorageTreasure's site, and tried to simplify it. I think in time, people will like it. Hopefully, but what do I know. Feedback from sites like this tell me more.
As for George's suggestions last week, most were in development currently, but one was not which we have added to our development list. Thanks for the suggestion.
Are you sure you're the person that owns Storagebattles? Cause you sound like a complete idiot. I just find it hard to believe a person that built a decent company, is so out of touch. Who's feeding you that information, it's not the customer and why are you listening to them.
1) Does Amazon, Ebay, or any other marketplace charge the "BUYER" a "FEE" to "BUY"? They all charge the "SELLER", there is a reason for that, do you think you're smarter then those companies?
2) You overpaid for StorageTreasures, people already know the current goto place for auctions is "StorageBattles.com" You already built up brand recognition. Don't be silly and change that - All the facilities already know what to put in the Public Notices.
3) Retire the StorageTreasures site and gimmicks - Cut your losses, it didn't work for them, that's why they were eager to sell.
4) Just make some minor enhancements to "Storage Battles" - Stop using Javascript to re-redirect the post back and allow users to right click on a link and select "Open in new tab" (Should take any coder, like 10 mins)
5) Stop randomizing the order of the auctions - It makes me lose track of what auctions I seen and didn't see. This way I don't miss something I didn't see. (Should take any coder, like 10 mins)
6) That's it, that's all you need to do, 20 minutes of work, everything else is simple and easy. Then all you need to do is get more facilities signed up and grow that business and get 10% from the facilities. All you do is invoice them once a month and collect a check.
7) You then only need a website admin, a billing person, a developer, and a sales team. Everything else just get rid of.
