After a lot of feedback from bloggers we made some new improvements to Tomoson.com.  The biggest complaint was the lack of “To Do” dates.  When will a promoter approve people, ship, ect…  We listened and added the dates shown in the image below.  As these dates get hit people are notified via email so the blogger and promoter will know what’s going to happen next.

If you go to any promotion on Tomson.com you will see these new additions to the promotion profile page.

——-Dates Added ——

Bloggers Can Apply From: These are the dates bloggers will have the opportunity to apply for the product review.  At this time promoters will be gathering bloggers for preapproval or auto-approval.

Final Blogger Selection Date: If there is a preapproval stage this date is the day the promoter will select the final set of bloggers to be approved or denied.

Product Ship Date: Date the promoter will be shipping all products to the bloggers.

Review Verification Time: Shows how long a blogger will have to use and write a review on the product.

Thanks again to everyone providing feedback making Tomoson.com better, and as the great Tracy Morgan once said:

“Live every week like it’s shark week”

After hearing some comments about the Tomoson logo we wanted to make a blog post to see what the rest of you thought.  Originally we made this logo but we got feed back that it was too boring and wasn’t any fun.

ORIGINAL LOGO

Next we worked with our graphic designer and came up with two other logos based on the feedback.  We made this logo because it had a unique icon that symbolizes increased sales when using Tomoson.com.  Obviously it also looked like a T but we didn’t think the obvious needed to be stated

INCREASED SALES LOGO

The third logo was coined the fun logo.  If you look at any of the large websites out there you’ll see they don’t make things too fancy.  They use a unique font and brand one of the letters, facebook.com and twitter.com are perfect examples of this.  This lead us to the logo below which is more fun but simple like we wanted.

TOMOSON FUN LOGO

Internally we liked the fun logo best (that’s why you see it on the website) but we want to hear from you the pre-users.  Please comment on the blog below and let us know what you think.  Even if you don’t like any of them please tell us and give some constructive critisisum.

As Derek Zoolander and Hansel said, “It’s a walk-off”

The entire concept of Tomoson.com is to give away free products to bloggers and have them write reviews on them.  When the blogger writes the review they normally link to the website where the review came from.  Since studies have shown readers trust bloggers, it’s more likely a positive review will lead to a sale on your website.  The link also serves another purpose helping increase your search engine rankings with a backlink.   The more backlinks you can gather  the better according to search engines.

Since Tomoson.com helps you get more sales and more backlinks we’ve added a feature allowing the blogger to have a contest giveaway with the product he/she just reviewed.   The benefit to the promoter is he/she will get double the backlinks and double the exposure to a positive blog review.  Bloggers love it because they can gain more readers with contest giveaways.

First off we want to say a huge THANK YOU for your feedback, and please keep it coming.

Due to this feedback we will be removing the requirement for a password when bloggers apply for a promotion.  The reason behind the password was to capture the amount of followers bloggers have on their Twitter profile.  We realized that bloggers do not feel comfortable giving out this information so we will be removing it before the site launch.

If you don’t know what feature I’m referring to please sign into your Tomoson.com account.  If you don’t have an account click here to register for free.  Once logged in click > bloggers at the top > find promotion > apply to review product and you will see this information below.

We will be removing the password requirement but we will be requiring what the bloggers Twitter account is, so promoters can see how many followers a blogger has.  This is critical information to a promoter and this will keep highly qualified promoters with great products coming back.

If you have any other feedback for us please click here to submit it.
