Title: New Feature Suggestion for Vendors:
Post by: anonymart on January 23, 2013, 05:49 am
Buyers have a favorite button that allows them to keep a list of their favorite vendors, for easy access.

It would be great if the same feature was created for vendors. It will allow us to keep a list of our favorite customers so we can message them easily to inform them of sales etc..and to give special consideration to loyal customers..

This is a wonderful idea. Kind of like a personal vendor Whitelist

I approve 100%

We always want more tools to satisfy our customers :)
I was also thinking about a feature that could allow vendors to "move up/move down" listings, making it easier to organize the listings well. At this moment, you cannot move a listing so sometimes it can get confusing, anyone for this?

Yes I would love that feature as well....If I could I would reorganize order of my listings. :)

So it's a mailing list? i just want to clarify exactly what you want. Because it could be 2 features. A whitelist for vendors that they control(trusted/friendly buyers) and then a seperate mailing list feature for sending out offers

Exactly! It really would end up been two features but if not that it would be nice to at least be able to click on favorite customers screen name from the whitelist so that a message window opens up but this way you have to send a message individually, one by one. I prefer the two feature idea though.

Yeah i feel the two feature thing would give vendors more freedom on who to send offers too. The whitelist is for buys that went off without a hitch. The mailing list is for people you REALLY like

I like being the horse of a different color so here goes; I can only think of one bad thing about this:

Let's say a vendor gets busted and the cops log on to his SR account. Yes yes, it's far-fetched I know. But anything that makes it easier to link buyers to a particular seller might have unintended consequences. Not just cops, but anyone that can gain access to his vendor account. They can now easily see all of his favorite buyers (large purchasers) and possibly get them to divulge location info or otherwise fuck with or scam them.

Other than that, hey it's probably a great idea! In fact, forget I mentioned it.

They have a transaction history just like we do. That problem wouldn't be amplified with this suggestion, so no offense but that concern is irrelevant :D

I had a feeling I didn't think that one through too well.  :p   This being the case, I now think it is a capital idea! :)
