As mentioned previously I’ve stopped tracking version numbers. This post highlights a few of the features that went live about a week ago.
Blog Friendly MobDeal Widget
This has been one of the most requested pieces of code in a long time. A lot of you like the main MobDeal widget but wanted something that would fit into a standard blog sidebar (The main one is MREC sized).
Well Chris pulled the current widget to bits, squashed all the elements down as small as he could and put it back together.
You can configure it for yourself and get the source code here. If you have any problems please do email us or use the feedback forms on the site (we may not be able to fix it but we’ll try).
Answer Comments
Questions & Answers have been a great success this year but when we launched we left something out – comments. In the case where an answer merited a bit of feedback the only way to add to the conversation was to post an additional answer which was confusing things a bit. So now if you’re feeling inclined to feed back on an answer just hit the “Add a comment” button.
Leads / Bookings in the Extranet
On the Extranet menu we’ve added a new section called “Sales”. You can now access all leads and bookings that have been made on the site in the last year at any time.
Both Leads and Bookings have a few simple flags to help you manage them. Rather than go into both in detail I’ve shown just the lead list below. Each line in the list is clickable through to the booking or lead shown. This is the same lead and booking details page that opens up from the confirmation emails we send.
We’re gradually adding a lot more functionality into this area to enable you (if you’re a supplier) to manage your interactions with Wahanda customers as easily as possible. If you have some ideas on how we can improve it please do let us know.
The last few release have been very much focused on delivering a major new piece of functionality, namely the ability of any supplier working with us to log into the site and update their details, add and edit products and generally manage their site presence.
This is such a big thing in and of itself I’m going to write a separate blog entry introducing this new application. As such this post is just a quick update of some of the smaller things we’ve added over the last few weeks.
Leads Improvements
Leads generation (offer products) has been really growing in popularity over the last couple of months. As we find out more from you (our suppliers and customers) about what works and doesn’t work we’ve been incrementally adding features.
Date / Time Capture
If you have an offer which is very time dependent (e.g. a free session) then you can now specify that you require this info on the product. When we see this option we add a new field to the leads form and make it required.
Multiple Venues for an offer
If you have an offer which is applicable at multiple venues (also good for free sessions) we know automagically include a selection field and ask the customer to tell you which venue they are interested in visiting.
Confirmation of Leads
This is a feature to try and help track our leads a bit easier. Similar to how we track the fulfillment of vouchers we now ask you to confirm when you’ve received a lead. This means we can assure our customers that their requests are being dealt with.
We’re going to add these to the venue management tool soon so you can keep an easy track of the leads you’ve received (if you’re a supplier).
Therapist Gender Filter
When you’re doing searches for therapists you can now add a filter to the results to limit the therapists to a specific gender.
