ShopID: All For His Love

How long have you been a shopkeeper?

I have been a Shop Keeper since March 2007, but I have been a CP member since August 2006 and had only been purchasing my own things!

If you listed a basic shop or did not list a shop in your bio, do you own a premium shop?

Why were you inspired to run for CafePressVoice?

I was inspired to run for CafePress Voice because I’d love to chat and meet other SKs as well as make CP a better place. I’d also like to see some new products that I get a lot of requests for and I know how well represented the CPV team is!

What do you feel the CafePressVoice program is all about?

I feel that the CafePressVoice program is about listening to everyone, taking their requests and opinions into consideration and then acting upon them to make CP a better place.

What do you feel are your qualifications that would make you an effective CPV member?

Some qualifications I feel that I have that would make me an effective CPV member are my Graphic Design background (both self taught and formal classroom teaching) as well as my eye for design and creativity. Also, I am a good listener and team player, but I can be a leader when necessary!

How much time are you willing to devote to CafePressVoice responsibilities on a weekly basis?

I’m willing to devote at least 4 hours per day (28 hours give or take per week) to the CPV responsibilities. I would say that I am addicted to my laptop as well as my cell phone, both of which I can do anything to assist the CPV team.

What, if any, previous experience do you have working in a “committee” setting?

In high school, over my four years, I was secretary, treasure and president of my Student Government.

If elected, how do you plan to communicate with shopkeepers in order to understand their concerns and keep shopkeepers informed?

If elected, my ways of communication are limitless. I have many instant messanger programs as well as email directly sent to my phone. Also, I will make a page on my store to keep other SKs informed of things that are allowed to be released to them. If necessary, I can also have phone conversations with other CPV members.

If you are elected, what is the number one thing that you would like to see implemented or changed concerning each committee’s mission:

If elected, the number one thing in the following comittees that I would like to see implemented or changed are:

Shop Management- Possible bulk uploader and better/easier organization of the Media Basket

Merchandise- I’d like to see new, more “updated” products as well as additional colors in existing products.

Name the top three things that you would like to see changed at CafePress.

Top three things I’d like to see changed at CP:
1) Bulk uploader of some kind implemented and integrated into the site
2) Larger array of colors and updated merchandise
3) An “intermediate” board and information for the SKs who aren’t newbies or super advanced, those in the middle

Name three things that you think CafePress does better than its competitors.

1) Quality and quality control - customer service and the way it’s represented.
2) The fact that they give us “templates” to use for products, others are guess and test.
3) Explination and ease of navigation and use of shops and products

Name three things that the competitors do better than CafePress.

1) Better selection of products
2) Upload method
3) Models used and the oprion to select which ones used to represent products

If you could pick one new product, what would it be?

One new product that I would like to see CP introduce is an intimate - BoyShorts!

Knock our socks off- tell us anything else that you think is important about your campaign.

I feel being as young as I am, I am better able to represent the “younger” demographic! Being in college, I’m able to understand what college, high school and even middle school aged students would like to see!
