Comment about Newest Cards
Feb 19^th, 2010, 10:57am

Hi,
I have a comment on the New Card section that shows up on the home page. It seems there are rows of the same new cards with either different names or ages, etc. I would think it would give more artists more exposure for their new cards if you limit the same card to one or two. I also think if a customer wants to see the new cards they might get a little annoyed if they have to go through pages of the same card that they aren't interested in. Just a thought! Thank you!

p.s. Awesome artists on GCU!

Jan

I think if you look through the posts nearly everyone said the same hehe

I still like the idea of us self controling so we can hit a button that shows only one multiple, the rest just go in the store, we choose the main one, the rest file away nicely, shoppers like the design they will follow the link, but not sure how or if it could be implimented, just sounds cool

I hope GCU can put this idea to the top of the list. It wastes so much space. There's GOT to be a better way. Friends of mine say they just log out when they see pages of duplicate images... and that is not a good thing.

Anyway, I do agree with everyone, it is a complete turnoff. Rosie Cards.

I agree with seeing all the duplicate cards!! It's a turn off.
I don't know computer/ technology...... BUT.... it could be like shopping online at Nordstrom, you see a dress you like, some words under it that say "click on image to see more colors" and the ta-da all the same dresses come up in all available colors.
Maybe the same could be done with the cards. Under a card image it could say "click here to see all options available with this image" .......... and ta-da there would be the zillion duplicate images with all the different verbage.
Maybe? Huh

I totally agree with you, you put my thought - that I had no idea how to put to words- out here, I was flipping trhough the "new card" and I got kind of irretated for seeing so many of the same - beautiful - card with just a new text. There are so awesome designers here and we all do desirve some space when our "new cards" are approved. Thank you for bringing this up.
