Just looked through responses again. It seems to be the voting that people don't like too much as well. Another way of determining popular artists - if that is still something we want to do - is just by monitoring which artworks are viewed the most often. It would therefore, be less like a 'talent show' as I think someone referred to it.
Sorry, I'm still just so shocked!

Shocked!
Hey,
Claire you poor thing - hope you feel better soon.
I have just looked at some of the survey responses. Ouch, their is one preson in particular who is extremely harsh. Do you think it is worth circulating another email? I don't think it was made clear in the original email that we would be providing advice and sending out a newletter on upcoming events etc. Or, maybe it is worth rethinking our intention to charge a subscription fee. Maybe we should just be focusing on advertising as our source of income. It seems to be the money that has generated the most hostility. It might do us some favours in our report if we admit that we had originally intended to charge users but after sending out a survey, we decided against it. I'm really not sure now.
I know this is only a theoretical project but I feel really offended by that one person's comments. Is that silly?

Apologies
Morning Ladies,
As you may have noticed, I'm not at uni today - I have had the stomach bug from hell over the weekend and didn't get much sleep last night. So, apologies for being absent.
However, I have managed to write up my section of the report, which I will email to you individually. You will see that two chapters are yet to be completed - "Market Research" and "Start Up Costs and Capitalisation".
Carly, I noticed that you had included the questionnaire to SLADE in your section - does that mean that I shouldn't include it as primary market research? Also, I have been tracking the results on surveymonkey.com - 818.8% said that they wouldn't pay our subscription fee! There are some REALLY negative responses as well - do you think we should still include them? Or, should we just be economical with the truth?
As regards the Costs, I have emailed Claire Warwick and am awaiting a reply.
Hope you guys are ok - sorry again for not being there.

My section
Hi,
I've written up something for the business plan. It's over the word count but I thought it would be better to have too much than too little and I can always edit it. I've left it as a Word document at the moment. I'll email it to both of you and you can read it before tomorrow if you have time and tell me what you think - too vague? stuff missed out? etc.
Hope you've both had lovely weekends.
See you tomorrow,

Just a thought . . .
Hi Girls,
I've just been reading back through the blog before I start writing up my bits and pieces for tomorrow and I was following some of the links I put up to similar sites. I think this one may interest us:
http://www.latest-art.co.uk/
It might be worth mentioning in out report/business plan as a potential source of mutual advertising. It's aimed specifically as London + Brighton/SE England and it's targeted at our sort of market. Might be a good way of generating publicity?

emails
Hey,
Just to let you know I've emailed Slade with the survey.
Also, might be good idea to email Claire (tutor Claire) re. specific pricing issues.
Can't remember what we said about uploading 3 images for free. But thinking about it now I'm not sure that's a good idea as wouldn't mean people could just keep changing the images they display without actually paying us anything?! On the other hand it is a good incentive . . .
What do you both think?

A few queries...
Hi Girls,
I'm in the process of writing up my portion of the business plan and have a few things that I want to clarify:
- Ilia - are you doing Competition? If so, are you looking at the pricing schemes of other websites? It's just in the Costs section it seems like a good idea to compare.
- Did we agree that users could upload 3 images to their portfolio but after that they had to pay the £50 subscription charge?
- Do you think we need to give actual figures for the cost information?
