- what: ICQ dialogue between Bubba and Woozle
- Discussion resumes 2 days later.
Bubba 2/7/03 2:31 PM Yes I think that getting the Flores domains would be a good thing and then we could do more of a complete package for their merch. We'd be their online rep for their merch and get commissions on wholesale orders placed through us. woozle 2/7/03 2:44 PM I sent a follow-up email... got ...floresart, but ...flores is tied up somehow. woozle 2/7/03 2:45 PM I just signed up for eFax... about to test it. Bubba 2/7/03 2:45 PM did you get alexanderflores.com? woozle 2/7/03 2:46 PM it's tied up woozle 2/7/03 2:46 PM as I was saying woozle 2/7/03 2:46 PM (both in the email and just now) Bubba 2/7/03 2:47 PM thought it was just flores.com that was tied up Bubba 2/7/03 2:47 PM reading woozle 2/7/03 2:47 PM no... I was abbreviating woozle 2/7/03 2:47 PM got ...floresart (meaning alexanderfloresart.com) but not ...flores (meaning alexanderflores.com) Bubba 2/7/03 2:48 PM what about floresart.com? woozle 2/7/03 2:49 PM didn't check Bubba 2/7/03 2:49 PM I know its a long one but this is their name theartofalexanderflores.com Bubba 2/7/03 2:51 PM find a really short one like taaf.com and redirect to the long official name Bubba 2/7/03 2:51 PM or taoaf.com woozle 2/7/03 2:51 PM if we had more time, we could get several, set up redirects for each, and log the traffic -- then keep the ones that got substantial traffic. Bubba 2/7/03 2:52 PM are you in netsol rt now? woozle 2/7/03 2:52 PM no woozle 2/7/03 2:52 PM sending a fax to myself woozle 2/7/03 2:53 PM gotta go for a bit Bubba 2/7/03 2:53 PM k i'll check taoaf the tao of alexander flores because the first step to zen is appreciating beauty Bubba 2/7/03 2:55 PM taoaf.com is available woozle 2/7/03 2:55 PM a domain is generally not worth anything unless it is (a) extremely obvious or (b) advertised. alexanderfloresart is (b) and alexanderflores.com is (a). The others are kinda random, seems to me. woozle 2/7/03 2:56 PM back innan hower Bubba 2/7/03 2:57 PM would we not do a little ad blitz to get us noticed for being the flores portal Bubba 2/7/03 2:57 PM it would make sense once people saw the words The Art of Alexander Flores as the title woozle 2/7/03 4:04 PM if we had an ad blitz budget, sure. We don't. Bubba 2/7/03 4:26 PM I was thinking just like $50 w/only Flores related wrods Bubba 2/7/03 4:26 PM or words woozle 2/7/03 4:28 PM not worth the trouble; overture's a PitB Bubba 2/7/03 4:28 PM have you checked to see if the two other shirts Les Hewa ordered are here woozle 2/7/03 4:28 PM notchet woozle 2/7/03 4:28 PM will import woozle 2/7/03 4:29 PM downloading efax's fax viewer... apparently they send the faxes in a proprietary format Bubba 2/7/03 4:29 PM I'll do a check on the #'s for Flores inquiries on Google and Overture Bubba 2/7/03 4:30 PM whuzz proprietary format? woozle 2/7/03 4:30 PM can't view it with any other program Bubba 2/7/03 4:31 PM is that bad? woozle 2/7/03 4:32 PM it's a nuisance. woozle 2/7/03 4:32 PM Means you can't see the faxes in your email program, you have to detach the attachment and load it in the efax viewer. Bubba 2/7/03 4:32 PM yes that does suck woozle 2/7/03 4:33 PM I'm investigating other services Bubba 2/7/03 4:38 PM before we get to far into this year like we did last year, I'd appreciate it if you'd do a monthly accounting of the 80/20 breakdown and then - merch costs to find profit I'm not seeing. woozle 2/7/03 4:38 PM ok woozle 2/7/03 4:39 PM was thinking the same thing Bubba 2/7/03 4:39 PM I'm OK w/it going to keep us afloat and I'd like us both to see it Bubba 2/7/03 4:40 PM was the eFax thing to satisfy the getting the orders to the suppliers in a form they can deal with? Bubba 2/7/03 4:43 PM are they being sent to both of us? Bubba 2/7/03 4:45 PM is it the official fax # for RH woozle 2/7/03 4:46 PM the fax thing was cuz we keep getting aborted faxes at the number here... I'm thinking they're probably from customers... but it would be nice to be able to get updates on discontinueds again from LB/MT, and if fax is how they want to do it, I guess we'd better support fax. woozle 2/7/03 4:46 PM (blinkin' philistines.) Bubba 2/7/03 4:47 PM Chuck Ell woozle 2/7/03 4:47 PM The efax # was an arbitrary phone # they assigned me. I haven't listed it online because I don't think I'm going to use it. Bubba 2/7/03 4:47 PM kmp woozle 2/7/03 4:47 PM I have set up an email address for faxes to be sent to, and once I have them working I will have it redirected to office@vbz.net which goes to both of us. Bubba 2/7/03 4:48 PM k Bubba 2/7/03 4:48 PM ewl woozle 2/7/03 5:27 PM in answer to your earlier Q -- no other shirts needed to pull. Send Among the Pines ASAP (I had hoped it could go out today). Thx. Bubba 2/7/03 7:01 PM did I ever tell you that the color of the hypertwins background is the color my bedroom was when I was 15-18? woozle 2/7/03 7:43 PM S says "mine too! and it was a color i specifically selected..." Bubba 2/7/03 7:50 PM that she selected for her room or you selected for the site? woozle 2/7/03 7:50 PM she selected for her room, but it's her fave color (more or less) & that's why I chose it Bubba 2/7/03 7:50 PM kewl Bubba 2/7/03 7:51 PM Jess is using my machine to check her email so I'm away for a minute woozle 2/7/03 7:51 PM k Bubba 2/7/03 7:51 PM brb
