Online database survey – The results
In our April newsletter, we asked for your feedback on our online databases, the databases that provide the data and images for your “Add Auto” screen. We created 5 surveys, one for each database, and asked you to rate a list of
possible problems, choosing from “Not a problem for me”, “Could be improved” and “Yeah, this sucks!”.
We’re happy that a lot of people took the time to complete these surveys. We received 3,251 responses! Thank you all for you help!
The full survey results can be found on our blog.
The Collectorz.com promo babes
Remember CeCe? CeCe is the superhero babe featuring in our Comic Collector banners, on the website and of course in the program itself. Check out this blog topic for more info on her!
We love having CeCe around, so we decided to give her 4 friends, each representing one of our software products:
- Gemma for Game Collector
- Mickie for Movie Collector
- Becky for Book Collector
- Kacey for Music Collector
All five characters have been created by Loopy Dave
You can expect the 4 new babes to appear on our website and in our banners soon.
