RE: Wish I had known!

Since this promo had a late start, will the next promo begin October 1st or later? The ones of us who have already done all of the shoe reviews possible are curious. Does epinions have promos every month usually?


Fair question.

I read the Member Center post to say this "Sole" promo was good through December, so is it then understood that there are no "other" monthly promotions other than this one between now & then?

Actually, we're back-dating this a bit because it took us a while to get this going. Per the rules, we're counting shoes reviews dating back to September 1st. So if you wrote a shoe review (yes, it has to be in the shoes category - http://www.epinions.com/Shoes), we'll count it towards the promotion.

Thanks for the interest!

Can you backdate to July???

I've been here over 3 years, and there was some promotion or other every single month since I've been here.

Of course, that's not a guarantee of future months.

Dang newbies . . ..

Why back in the day we had to walk uphill both ways to publish our reviews..!!

...and we didnt have no fancy bold and italics and link help to git our reviews done.

We just did 'em and we was glad to have somewheres to put 'em..!!

RE: SAPing Shoes

*not* a CL ---->

but I am fairly sure Beauty and Wellness cannot add shoes/clothing.

(I don't think anyone can)

I think it has to be something "in" the database.

There is no Shoes/Clothing/etc option to even "ask" for in Wellness and Beauty.

*edited to note I see someone posted above that they asked Almar, which is probably the best solution ... I just know being a titleholder in W&B we can't have shoes added currently :) hth!


Almar advised me to go through Wellness and Beauty. I sent in a SAP...although neither SAP form had shoes...we shall see...I haven't heard back yet.

Bops Mom and Shantel are going to have their hands full if it's on them!

I'm confused

I thought the shoe category fell under sporting goods. That's where all of my shoe reviews live (all two of them).

thanks to Kimm for pointing me to this thread :)

1) our old SAP form did not allow us to add anything in shoes/clothing/etc. The new one does :) The majority of shoe listings on the site are from vendor feeds, etc. But with our new and improved SAP form, yes we can now add shoes.

2) The shoe SAP's do come to me, I've already added a couple today

3) I think this is a really cool promotion! I'm glad everyone is getting involved... just go easy on me LOL! Maybe if you send one SAP at a time.. then write that review before sending the next SAP, please :) That way everyone can get a turn.

I will keep up as best I can. I will go ahead and tell you that I will be out of town on Saturday so don't panic if you don't get something back right away between Friday night and Sunday night.

If you have any questions you can email me at SHANTEL575@yahoo.com

Shantel

Edited to add: since the SAP form is not Shoe friendly... you are welcome to email me the information directly at the address I listed above... and in the subject line put "SHOE SAP" (haha)

Please include:

1) Name of Shoe, including the Brand
2) URL to the manufacturer's website (shoe listing)
3) URL of a photo/image (should end in .jpg, .gif or .img)
4) Price

In the snow. You have to walk uphill both ways in the snow to publish your reviews.

Don't leave out the rest of it.

I will be sure to submit an SAP Saturday morning and the panic when you haven't added it in an hour.

Always doing what I can to hinder. :)

As an aside, it is possible to walk uphill both ways to get somewhere. If you walk over a hill (up and then down it) to get somewhere you'd be walking uphill both ways;)

Totally not related to things but...

you'd be surprised that people actually do get in a tizzy if it's not back to them in 5 minutes :)

That was only on the good days, when it was snowing.

Usually it was like hurricanes and tornadoes and floods and pestilence and stuff like that. Them was the good ol' days..!!

Ummmm... Yeah I guess people were concerned about backdating but ummmmmmm...

You could have a promotion targeting reviews of lunar backscratchers towards the end of the month and backdating it still wouldn't really make a difference.

Why not backdate it to (say) the start of Summer or something like that?

They aren't brand name shoes and aren't listed in the database. And the one pair is so old, it isn't a style that is sold anymore anyway.

There are lots of products on Eps that are 'so old ... and not sold anymore.'


H3ll, my auto for the similarly focused car-review promotion (remember that one peeps..??} was a 1984 model.

I doubt if anyone is reading reviews looking for feedback on a twenty-year-old-plus used car. (Although . . .now that I look I see it has almost 140 outside visits and a few cents in IS ... wow.)

We actually do have to walk uphill both to and from the elementary school from our house. Its a straight walk on one street, but there is a hill in the middle. So I guess technically we are walking uphill and downhill each way.

I've added a couple already myself. You're all free to e-mail me the info for shoes, too and I'll do the best I can. bops_mom@hotmail.com

I really need to re-do our SAP forms. They are sadly out of date when it comes to our new and improved SAP from Epinions.

Don't let a brand hold anyone back. We can add even if the brand isn't "listed" as our new SAP form is really different from the old one.

But we do need an image so you'd have to come up with that.
