e-mail in card preview
Sep 20^th, 2009, 11:49pm

Would it be possible to have a 'Contact this artist' link on the card preview page?

Most of us state that we would be happy to customise the card, but for a customer to request this they have to click on the not so obvious link to the store and then find the contact this artist link, meanwhile needing to remember which card and card id it was.

It would be much simpler if a customer could directly contact after viewing a card, and for the e-mail to include the card title/pid in the subject line.

This might result in a few more cutomised card sales?

Interesting idea. Perhaps it should say "Do you like the card but need the front text modified for your unique needs ... contact the artist."

There could also be a "This artist has XX cards like this in this category," with a link to this card set or perhaps replacing the displayed thumbnail cards on the left with the cards just from that artist.

Along the same line, there is no way currently for a shopper to comment on a card via the card details page. They can only do it when seen as a thumbnail, oddly.

I also think some brand recognition could follow if our Back of the Card Artist Icon is show on the card details page rather than just an "Image by" store link. Why are we even using "Image by" vs. "Card Designed by" anyway?

Excellent idea, Tom. I really like 'Card designed by' much better than the current 'Image by.'

I'm very pleased that this has been implemented; thanking you for the great suggestion and GCU for putting it into place in such effective fashion.
