I'm new so I feel weird speaking up but then not because some members really go out of their way to welcome.
So many fabulous ideas! I really think some of the members should be recognised for what they they do here, maybe discounts given or such. There's a few that I see all the time and they answer questions and they review and they definitely drive traffic here.
I love this website, my sex life and marriage has gone up and up, you really are the sexual happiness people. I found you guys through the reviews. I had never owned a sex toy and I was nervous, the people who review each purchase really helped me a lot. Some forum members I was excited to see posting, "oh! It's you! You helped me buy the Mia 2.." (Yes, I am a dork)
I'm sure you guys are aware of who they are. I don't want to say names in case I miss someone..
I love Sum Sub's idea but he's unfairly clever so... ๐
Competitions would be wonderful, the prize being a discount code or some such, but, and I know I'm being picky but sometimes you get a code and it expires in 72 hours but you get paid in a week..
Maybe the code could be activated when you want it? Would generate more interest I think. The more user friendly a competition is, the more who enter.
Lots of us are not on Twitter so forum based would be great.
Also, I love the idea of code for forum members, you could even make sure it's only seen by active members by starting a thread with the code and the dates available in it at random days and times.. ๐ค
I think it's lovely that you ask what the members want (which I think I can refer to myself?), it really shows a level of commitment to the customer which is a sadly lacking in most business models and definitely this type of business I would say.
I think it's also wonderful that you can join without making purchases, that's amazing. I purchase off the au Lovehoney and I don't even know if that shows up here but it doesn't matter, no one asks for a proof of purchase, all are welcome, I think that is part of what of what makes this company great.
Anyway rambling! Just excited to see what the future brings!
