Requesting Card Category Additions
May 15th, 2010, 9:26am
 
Hoping for some new category additions Smiley
 
What do you think of.....In Collections/Vintage...suggested sub-categories
 
Collections-vintage/Animals
Collections-vintage/People
Collections-vintage/Places
Collections-vintage/Floral
Collections-vintage/Objects
 
Also in Collections/Animals...sub-categories...
 
Collections-Animals-Dogs/Major Breeds (badly needs division even adding a purebred or mixed section would help a bit...  
....this category has over 6,000 images all jumbled together and would be very hard for shoppers to locate dog type as it is now).
 
there are 2,300 images in Cats Category. I'd like to suggest at least dividing it into...(or perhaps breeds)
Collections-Animals-Cats-Wild
Collections-Animals-Cats-Domestic
 
Collections-Animals-Birds-Parrots (Other breeds would be super too, but figured this was one of the larger image groups)

Hi Jacqueline,
 
I brought this up before and was told to try search this category.  Which works pretty well if everyone has their key words in line.
 
for example,
go to collections>vintage
then put animals in search box and be sure to check search this category
 
or
try Collections>animals>birds
and type in parrots and, again, be sure to check search this category
 
works well most of the time,
Kati

Hi Kathleen, thanks for feedback on this.  
 
I hope this is not the case here, and that this section will be organized the same as the other categories/sub-categories on the rest of the site.  
 
I agree using a keyword to search the category would find most of the correct images if we all used the right keywords when uploading (but I think we all have our own ideas on what is correct, so that may be a bit random). But by that logic we shouldn't have any sub-categories in any of the other main categories either and just toss it all in to the top level and let the customer search for our cards with the keyword tool.
 
for example in... Collections/Animals (there are a multitude of sub-categories under here, so those sub-categories should not be there then and we should just use the search tool to find what you wanted in the 19,380 images). Which I think would be a daunting mess.
 
 
Hi Tanya,  
 
Thank you for the link to the category suggestions area. I will go post it over there Smiley
