Taking Longer for Card Approval?
Oct 3rd, 2010, 5:54pm
 
Is it taking longer now for card approvals? I have had some cards waiting to be approved for quite a while. Seems the wait is longer than it used to be.

I plan on 2 weeks and just keep creating.  You'll go nutz waiting.  I try to plan on creating cards for holidays at LEAST 2 months ahead of time.

Good advice Linda, I've been creating about 1 month ahead and I don't think I'm giving myself enough time.  This only leaves me two weeks before the holidays occur.

Combine the 3 to 4 month lead time it takes for search engines to index and find your cards...cards should be created at least that amount of time in advance of a holiday.
 
Just giving you some Google facts  Grin

Wow, thanks Doreen. I think I'll have to start organising myself a little better.  Perhaps I better get into the Christmas cards now.

I add between 5 to 10 cards every day, but they are getting approved in dribbles. So they are getting further and further behind with my cards and I now have 57 waiting approval.  Sad

Too bad it does take so long to approve the cards.  I really appreciate what they do and all the help they offer but wow... long waits.
 
Just sayin,

Indeed!-It takes awhile. I have also noticed that often it means something will have to be changed in the categories for instance! Smiley
