Help Us Make SR Better!

Hmm...I'll have to think about this, but the first thing that comes to mind (and I'm sure I'm in the minority here) is fewer contests which rely on completing surveys. I'm sure it's just coincidence, but I can rarely qualify for surveys during these contests and sometimes there just aren't enough surveys available.

I like contests where everyone has somewhat of an equal chance (posting things in the forum, scavenger hunt, etc.).

Will think on this some more...

Honestly, it is NOT a coincidence. We run them a lot when we see that survey numbers are low and we need to give them a boost. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The more traffic we send, the more surveys that the companies tend to give us.

Good feedback on the contests!

Maybe weekend contests where you only have to complete 2/3 day to be eligible? More people would have a chance. 5 can be tough sometimes.

I loved the Holiday contest last year, can't wait to hear the details for this year.

I would do more surveys if i could take them on my phone. By the time I am done working on the computer all day, I have a hard time sitting there longer for surveys. But I realize that is not up to you but up to the survey companies to "app" them.

More freebie offers. I know others hate them and they don't credit well but it is still nice to try them and when they credit it is exciting. It gives me one last thing to try to reach my daily goal when I run out of surveys to take.

This.
More or less email? More "special" e-mails, but could we opt for weekly coupon e-mails?

Smartphone apps or mobile site (would you use them?) I am unsure what I would do with an app, but maybe a Sunshine Mobile site that connected to a barcode scanner when you're out shopping

Changes to the way contests are run Since you asked, I'm not a huge fan of the finish x surveys contests. But I <3 any other contests....

Other merchants you would like to see...LL Bean, Cashback for Amazon (LOLz)

If we could somehow click that we needed non-Flash surveys, I'd be more likely to try on my iPad.

I'll definitely see what we can find out from the survey providers in terms of mobile surveys.

As for mobile shopping, I was actually telling SG yesterday that I think we need an easy way for people to be able to price compare while they are out shopping. Not sure if we can do barcode scanning before this holiday season, but maybe UPC entry at a minimum. But I like barcode scanning as well!

One thing that frustrates me is the product search. It never seems that I get relevant results or current results. I'm not sure what could be done to change this but often times I just use google, clear cookies, and then shop through SR once I find a merchant with it.

Same here!

Could we add a Tweet/FB this button to forum posts? I've seen it on other Vbullitin sites. (I'd like to tweet, say the movie tickets and Borders posts).

I'll ask SG. It might just be some kind of plugin that we need to add. Hopefully a +1 as well!!

As to the product search, I concur 1000%. We've got the data but it seems like the search algorithm is off. Let me talk to SG about that one tonight as well. I don't use it myself very often!
