RE: AIS Website

["Lynn" <irislynn@willitsonline.com>]

Greetings,

One comment, I know that I have always avoided "surveys" of any kind, I'm
just too busy.  However, I like the idea of trying to find out who visits
our site and how they found us.  How about saying something like "Tell us
how you found us." instead of "survey", which always sounds like it will
take a long time to do with multiple questions.

I love this idea of an AIS members only website featuring info on the
affiliate clubs.  Something to think about for the future.

This topic alone is one great result of having AISDiscuss...I agree with a
lot of the comments that answer John's questions...we need to make the
website sell the advantages of AIS as quickly and easily as possible and we
should always be changing it with new pictures and information...

One comment came up about not knowing who is going to the website and
why...Perhaps we can ask them... Maybe add a link to a "survey on this
website" or a link to a "survey on the products and services of the AIS".
This could give us instant feedback on how the site and AIS is doing.

As an incentive to joining the AIS I think we should also advertise the
advantages of the AIS Members Only website...

This may be a little further away from the main focus of the AIS, but should
we have a link that takes people to "what are the activities of affiliate
clubs"..what are the exciting reasons to join a club and particularly THIS
club..

Thanks John and everybody...

Jill
