Five Major Updates On The Way

DateLine | TagVillage

We are very excited to announce there are five major updates coming to the site in the near future. According to our CEO, the time is upon us when tagvillage will begin to move from an infancy stage into a growing, thriving, maturing business. During the month of September, 2011, the site will move from a speculative market for Tag Traders into an actual product marketplace and advertising platform. We are now only days away from selling real products, generating real advertising revenue, and attracting entirely new types of members to the site. So, for all of you who have been working to build your Tag inventories, and patiently bearing with us as we developed our software, your reward is on its way!

We truly appreciate the support each of our members have given us. We know the Beta stages and initial Bazaar stages have been at times boring and painfully slow. So, we want you to know how much we appreciate your support during these times! You are very important to us. We could not exist without the initial members who have given us their support and energy as we launched and tested our programs. So, because of your support and help, we want to reward you and help you take your tagvillage business to the next level!

As many of you know, there are 2 major keys to success with tagvillage. The first key to success is referrals. The second key to success is a great inventory of Tags. In order to get great Tags, you must have Credits. So, we want to help you. We also know many of you want to refer new members, but need some help. So, we are about to help you with this as well! But that is not all. We also know many of you would like to become true partners with us and have been asking if you can invest in tagvillage, inc. and own a piece of the actual company. So, we are about to offer this to you as well! Over the next few days, many things will happen and we hope you are truly happy!

What new things can you expect on the site?

1. High Yield Member Investment Plan
Ever since the launch of tagvillage many members have emailed asking if they can invest in the business and actually own a piece of the company. We truly appreciate our members and wish to offer you an opportunity to be a true partner. Therefore, we are announcing a brand-new High Yield Member Investment Plan. You can actually own a piece of tagvillage, inc.

2. FREE Credits Special
In order to buy Tags, you need Credits. In order to get bids you need Credits. Since we are about to offer Items in the Bazaar, you will want a lot of bids. So, we are going to help you! In the next few days, a special will appear on the site and will run for a few weeks. For every $5 in Credits you purchase, we will match you with 1 FREE CREDIT! Watch for this special to be live on the site very soon.

3. Pay It Forward Program & Special
In order to attract new referrals, it would be nice to offer them FREE CREDITS! So, we are announcing a new "Pay It Forward" Program. In the next few days, a special will appear on the site and run for a few weeks that will allow you to give FREE CREDITS to your new referrals. For every $5 in Credits you purchase, we will give you 1 FREE Pay It Forward Credit you can use to attract new referrals! Watch for this special to be live on the site very soon. In addition to the free Pay It Forward Credits, you will have the ability to exchange Credits for Pay It Forward Credits and grant them to new referrals. So, you will have a nice program for attracting referrals.

4. Tag Bazaar Changes
Every change mentioned in the past news article (Bazaar Enhancements & Time-Line) will be live on the site within the next 14 days! We are almost finished developing each of them. As they are finished, they will be released live on the site. So, watch for each of these changes to appear over the next 14 days.

5. Items In The Bazaar
We know you have been waiting. So, we are happy to announce the Items platform is almost ready to go live on the site! There are a few small details that remain to be finished. They will not take long. Our developers tell us the Items platform could be ready within hours. We are running final tests and fixing final issues. Therefore, we are prepared to state that Items may appear in the Bazaar any time now. They may appear in a few hours. Or they may appear in a few days. The development team guaranteed our CEO that Items will be live in the Bazaar some day between September 1, 2011 and September 10, 2011. So, get ready. Watch the Bazaar. They will appear any time now!

In addition to the Items in the Bazaar, you will start earning actual Tagvertising commissions! So get ready! You are only days away from seeing the true benefits of Tag ownership. Why do you really own Tags? To get Tagvertising commissions. So, here they come!

We hope you like all of these improvements. Within days, you will be able to buy amazing Items as low at 0.10 Credits each! You will be able to buy Credits and get Free matching Credits. You will be able to offer your new referrals FREE Credits to test the system. The Tag Bazaar will have major improvement. And finally, you will be able to invest in tagvillage, inc. and become a true partner with us in this business! Get ready, tagvillage is about to grow up a whole lot, and very fast!

Bazaar Enhancements & Time-Line

Tuesday, August 9, 2011 - 8:30 AM

A Work In Progress

With every release of a new feature on tagvillage we introduce a stage, collect data, listen to feedback from the members, and then enhance. Once that stage is functioning properly and the membership appears to be happy overall, we move to the next stage. Since the launch of the Tags portion of the Bazaar, we have been reviewing data and listening to feedback from the members. As a result, we are making several improvements to the Tags Bazaar. Sometime this week, the following changes will take place:

1. Auctions Page Sorting
We are going to change the auctions list page into a sortable list. We are adding buttons at the top of the page. These buttons will say "Live", "Pending", and "Ended". If you click the "Live" button, you will only see the auctions that are live and taking bids. If you click the "Pending" button, you will only see the auctions that are upcoming. If you click the "Ended" button you will see the auctions that have cancelled, sold, or closed from the Buy It Now feature.

2. Limited Live Auctions
We are going to set a limit to the number of live auctions at one time. We will start with a low number and increase with time as our membership grows and activity within the Bazaar grows. Therefore, members will only have a limited number of Tags to bid on at one time.

3. Pending Auctions Queue
We are going to make a page called "Pending Auctions". On this page, all upcoming auctions will be announced. There will no longer be a "Starting Time" counter. Instead, each Tag will be placed into a queue on a first-come first-served basis. When a live auction ends, the next auction in line will begin.

4. Limited Number of Tag Auctions Per Member
We are going to set a limit on the number of Tags a member may place into the Bazaar at one time. This number will start low and increase as our membership grows and activity within the Bazaar grows.

5. Name Your Own Reserve Price
We are going to add an option for members to name their own Reserve Price. For example, you may have a Tag for over 200.00 Credits and you want to sell it. You may decide you would take less than 200.00 Credits for the Tag. So, we are going to allow you to name your own Reserve Price point.

6. No Reserve Price Auctions
Some members may wish to take a chance by running a Tag with no Reserve Price. We are introducing a new type of auction to the Tag Bazaar. If you wish, you can place a Tag into the Bazaar with NO RESERVE PRICE! In this case, the Tag will begin in the 30 second count-down stage and will continue until the timer reaches zero. We will still limit the number of timer resets, but it will be controlled by a different formula that respects the sellers and the bidders.

7. Feature Tag Auctions
We will announce a special Feature Tag Auction into the Bazaar. This auction will begin in the 30 second count-down stage and will continue until the timer reaches zero. There will be a reduced limit on the number of timer resets that will make these Tags very desirable.

We truly hope you appreciate the improvements we are making. We think all of these enhancements will make the Tag Bazaar more fun, more active, and more rewarding. Our goal is to complete most of these updates and release them by the end of this week. However, as with all development situations, we will only release these changes as we complete the programming and testing of each one.

We are sure most of you are wondering the all important question. When will Items be live on the Bazaar. We are very close to completing the Items portion. Due to the data and feedback from the Tags Bazaar, we have been making some improvements to the Items segment as well. We truly hope to complete all development and testing for the Items portion this week. Our goal is to release Items into the Bazaar by the first few days of next week. However, as with all development situations, we will only release these changes as we complete the programming and testing.
