Black Cherry recently uploaded an artwork that started a dialogue between me and Lady Anime79 of having a greeting card feature on the site. I was wondering what all of you thought of this idea.
We could have a certain section of the site where people could select a greeting card and type a customized message. A link to the greeting card on the website would be sent to the email address that's provided. You wouldn't have to be a member or anything to use it, you just simply fill out a form something like this:
To Name: Jon
To Email: [email protected]
From Email: [email protected]
Personal Message: Hi Jon, Merry Christmas! Hope you and the kids and the wife are doing well.....
You get the idea. It would be on a page of the site without the navigation on the top and bottom. The page would be pretty sparce. Just the artwork, the message, advertisements and a link to the main greeting card page. I picture the image being on one side with the image on the other instead of the message below the artwork. I've liked the idea of anime, and specifically DBZ, greeting cards but never really went anywhere with it.
Lady Anime79 was suggesting it as a new feature for the site but I don't want to do this greeting card thing if it doesn't work similar to the way I've described above. I don't want it to be a thing where a member uploads artwork like normal and then has a special greeting card form they fill out or something. People can already do the "Email this page to a friend" thing. I want the greeting cards to be completely separate from the artwork and allow random people coming to the site to select any card and then email it. Quick and simple. Of course, underneath the greeting card artwork would be a link to the artist's profile page on Paper Demon. Oh, we could have Paper Demon greeting cards and Red Curtain greeting cards! oooh the possibilities with Red Curtain greeting cards. We have to come up with a clever name for the cards though. Greeting cards is too generic. These cards are special! They are in most cases anime. "Paper Demon card" "Paper Demon Greeting"? I dunno...
Your thoughts, comments? :ponders:
