what to do if a blogger requests old items? Like, a flexi skirt and sculpty accessory? Now, to be fair, both items still sell well on MP, with positive reviews...so on the one hand I know people are
attracted to the items. but on the other hand...if people who don't know my brand see those items on a recent blog, will they automatically assume my whole collection is outdated?
Some stuff may be still valid, only because it is a sculpty doesnt mean it's gone bad now.
Mesh is just a different way to create it.
yeah if it was just the sculpty notebook i wouldn't question it...but the sculpty book along with a flexi skirt...im afraid it will send the wrong message. but i dont know if im over thinking it.
its this skirt and notebook that she asked for
I guess your blogger has some specific photo in mind.
personally, i wouldn't do it. after taking such a long break from content creation, it's important to re-establish your brand as back again and new and fresh
if that blogger really, REALLY needs that specific skirt and notebook, she can buy them. or you could send her the notebook, but not the skirt, and explain that while you keep it on the MP due to customer
demand, you'd rather not have it featured in a blog post as it's not indicative of your brands' current orientation. with prettier words.
(and that's speaking as someone who's been working hard for years to change some of her brand image .. that stuff sticks!)
jackalennui: thank you...that was my thinking but...i just wasn't sure if that was a good enough reason to say no to blog coverage. i needed a some second opinions, thank you both.
(i still get people raving over my pre-sculpt / sculpt stuff. you don't want that. you don't want to be "elymode who makes that awesome flexi skirt"
and i know that the people who buy it, buy it FOR that reason...it moves, it's flexi (and i admit i miss flexi sometimes lol!) but you're totally right.
There should be flexi mesh!
I know, the LI is going to endless with all the features ...
LL should just limit the LI per item, period.
flexi mesh is actually my #1 dream feature.
Creator's choice then if she wants it with tons of triangles, giant textures, shiny, flexi or with materials.
i miss the days when i could move my pose stand right before grabbing a photo and get my hair and skirt moving in the "wind"
I mean, mesh already moves with the body, so it's not impossible. It's just adding the physics ruleset, too.
ely_eilde: yah, now you need to buy a "blowing in the wind" hair.
Flexi is such a nice feature for machinima... without it everything is just static...
why doesn't the person just... buy it O_o
is the blogger perhaps a kid avvie? they have a hell of a time with clothing because not many make mesh for kid avatars that aren't td avvies, so they are sometimes stuck wearing old system clothing and sculpts
nimil: well she sent me a generic blogger request, and i said that i dont just add bloggers to my list, but if she would like a specific item to blog id be happy to share it...and thats what she requested.
yeah so now i dont want to seem like a bitch by being like oh, you can't have that...but, i think i have to consider my brand first.
