Has it gotten slow?
Mar 25^th, 2010, 1:34pm

Is it just me or has things slowed down around here? My store views and clicks and sales have been doing well for me (better than last year same time) but now things have slowed down to a crawl this week.

Doubt if this has anything to do with it but my card approvals have also slowed from around 5/6 days before X-mas to 6/7 days around January - now 7/8 days. Everything is really slow making me nuts.

Just wondering how is everyone else was doing?

I know I still have a lot of cards pending but they have been being reviewed fairly quickly. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my name out there. Mikki

Welcome Mikki!

What great cards you have! I'm sure you will do really well here. I wanted to give you a link to some great info by one of GCU's best selling artists. Within this Squidoo lens, down at the bottom, she lists links to some other lens where she speaks to marketing your GCU store and cards.

Good luck to you!!

Hi All - Good to know it's not just me. I sold 1 flipcard when GCU 1st debuted the program haven't sold any since.

Welcome to GCU - Mikki - Love your fat b'day cat card.

I know I also need to work on my marketing...trying but it just seems unnatural. Just started on Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/dtdelosh we'll see if it helps any.
