What DoStuff's Doing: CELEBRATING!

No comments:

Weeks 12/5 - 12/19

'Tis the season!  We have all earned our time for celebration and rest given how hard we have been working the past few weeks.  Read on for news of our latest redesign improvements, platform fixes, 2ND BOOTCAMP with Dallas and Seattle, as well as our holiday plans.

Redesign the Rad Reindeer

Because if the Redesign were a reindeer, it would totally takeover Rudolph's role to guide Santa's sleigh into the future.

Oh heeeyyyy did you all hear that Do512 and Do312 launched officially?! We'll start 2014 off with soft launching our California cities, DoLA and Do415.

Our Dev team did some superstar stuff these past few weeks related to redesign , some of which was mentioned in our previous posts.

One BIG change was made across all your sites as a result of our A/B testing: smaller event cards on your listing pages.

See the test results below:

As you can see, Variation 1 as representative of the smaller cards didn't test significantly better, but many of you felt strongly about it aesthetically. So it is now live for you all!

Another BIG improvement is specifically related to BIG ON SALES or how ticket on sale info displays. Instead of the "BUY" button on the event card or page, the button will display the date that tickets go on sale or, if day of, the time.* You can checkout Do312's Big On Sales list to see how it looks.

*This information is scraped or entered under Ticket Info on event pages in Admin. Want some help getting a Big On Sales list set-up? Let us know!

Here are some additional redesign improvements and fixes:
  • You can now delete/remove photos in the Manage Photos modal in Admin.
  • We shrunk the width of the Search box when opened so it does not overlap your logo.
  • A "Contact" check is included in the event creation form so users can let you know if they are interested in running RSVPs or advertising. 
  • Error pages will now direct users to contact your subdomain email, such as do512@do512.com.


Re: RSVPs

We've made quite a few fixes to RSVPs given your feedback, so it deserved a section unto itself.  Here is what we've completed:
  • If you elect to uncheck "Send confirmation email?" in the RSVP setup, a confirmation email will not send.
  • You can customize additional text RSVPer receives upon confirmation in the "RSVP confirmation email" field.
  • "Affiliation" entry works and saves for RSVPers.
  • You can set an RSVP passcode to lock events.
  • 21+? appears on all RSVP/Giveaways modals default checked.
Look for more RSVP upgrades (anyone requesting email customization?) we're going to prioritize Episode 5 beginning in January!


Bootcamp: Do206 and 214!

That's Seattle and Dallas, respectively. These two new terrific teams joined us at DoStuff HQ this past Monday and Tuesday to learn all that we could cram into the two days about what it takes to make build a Do community in their cities.  

Check out their class photos:


Do206


Do214


One Big Happy Graduating Class!

Do206 plans on launching in January, while Do214 will launch later in the spring! We'll keep you posted on their progress.

Sales Part-ay

As those of you who participated on Michael's sales call learned last week, we have good conversations happening and ideas in the pipeline.  Look for further upcoming updates regarding Goose and AB.

Also, SXSW! Get those ideas out there and begin you planning.

Happy Holidays!!!

As mentioned in an email Kristin sent out, we are planning on taking some R&R over the holidays weeks so that we can come back for 2014 refreshed and ready to kill it. (If you need anything support related that is urgent, simply label it "URGENT" in the subject line.) It's been a big year, and this next one is going to be even bigger!

We at DoStuff are all planning on time with friends and family. Some of us are travelling, from New Mexico to Florida to NYC! 

The first full week of January, DoStuff will regroup to close Episode 4 and start Episode 5. We look forward to filling you in on the details of our plans for global domination once we've strategized sufficiently.

Until then, we hope you all enjoy the season as well and take it easy!

Redesign UPdate: IMPORTANT Image Changes, Follow Artists, and Ongoing Event Fix

No comments:
The following improvements are important to review as they may affect your work flow AND may have been something you requested!

Image Changes

We apologize for any confusion regarding appropriate image dimensions.  We've changed some of the necessary dimensions and want to make them clear.

Hero -> Photo

The space formerly known as hero and now the photo has been resized for not only events but ALSO artist, venue, and user pages.
  • Dimensions: 1200x450 
  • The photo is automatically cropped to center faces

A reminder about how EVENT photos will be chosen:
  1. Manually added*
  2. Headliner (top artist) photo
  3. Venue photo
*This is currently by default BUT you can request a specific scraper fix to input scraped images as the "photo" as opposed to the poster.

Poster

Posters show below event description on event pages.
  • Dimensions: at least 450 w, no height requirement
  • Posters less than the required width will not display

A reminder about how EVENT posters will be chosen:
  1. Manually added
  2. From scraper

Search Results/Latest

The images at the top of your Search Results and Latest pages now display your default photo.
  • Dimensions same as all photos! 1200x450

Header

The header across the top of your site has not changed, but just to lay out all image specifications:
  • Dimensions: 1200x125

Justin created this handy dandy visual to explain it all:

User Image Guidance

Many of you noted that it was not clear to your users creating events the difference between a photo and a poster. As an answer, we input guidance directly within the event creation process.  Check it out!


Other Sweet Fixes

  • You can select to "Follow Artists" in the event activity feed.
  • Ongoing events now show their FULL date range until they are officially past.
  • You can now see your new site in all its splendour on older versions of Safari!

Redesign UPdate: Event Image Changes

No comments:
To improve how you manage event images on the new site, we have made a couple changes.

Hero to Photo

The image formerly known as the "hero" is now the photo. The photo is chosen in the following order (so if not the first, the second and so on):
  1. Manually added
  2.  Headliner (top artist) photo
  3. Venue photo
Where the photo displays:
  • Top of event page 
  • Background of the event card on the listing page

Poster as Poster

The poster is still the poster. It is chosen in the following order:
  1. Manually added
  2. Scraped
Where the poster displays:
  • Below the event description on the event page

For an example, check out this event: http://donyc.com/events/2013/12/12/dj-uestlove-presents-bowl-train

  • Photo is ?estlove's photo as headliner
  • Poster is Brooklyn Bowl's poster

Management

You'll notice a "DO NOT USE" space in the event "Manage Photos" modal. Don't use it! It was part of the transition as we made these changes.

The photo going forward will NOT be a scraped image. This is an incentive to have good headliner images and improve band content!

The poster is intended as a space for the text posters that venues use for shows. Some venue calendars you scrape may show artist photos and appear redundant in that space. If you don't want a scraper to pull in images for this reason, request a fix to the scraper to ignore them (please be aware of whether you are requesting a fixed to a shared network scraper).

We have also now made it easier to edit event pages on your site! If you haven't checked out the little pencil icon in the bottom corner, do so! You'll be able to delete images from the front-end event edit page as we want to make this an easier place to make changes as you check over your site.

A/B Testing: Win Button Stats

No comments:
Check out some recent stats for how the button changes are doing.

Variation 1 is the test with the more visible "WIN" button.

Both ONLY include users that did not enter the site through an event detail page and did not stay on the site for more than 30 minutes.




The test is continuing, and we'll keep you posted as to the clear WINNER.

A/B Testing: Win Button!

No comments:
We thought you all would be interested in learning the latest A/B test we are running regarding user engagement on the new site! We've changed prominence and positioning of some of the call to action buttons.

What We're Testing:


  • Reordering the buttons on listing page hover and mobile from "ADD + BUY + WIN/RSVP" to be "WIN/ RSVP + BUY + ADD"
  • Changing "WIN" to read "ENTER TO WIN" on the event details page
  • Showing by default WIN and RSVP buttons without hover

  • On mobile listings, showing WIN and RSVP buttons on the bottom of the event card




Where We're Testing: 


  • This is currently showing on 50% of Do512 traffic.

How We're Testing: 


  • We are looking at ALL metrics, not just whether more people click the WIN button.
  • Those metrics include whether this new placement
    • Cannibalizes clicks on other things
    • Changes time on site, pages/visit/bounce rate

We'll keep you posted as to how this test compares to the current design. Thoughts or questions, comment below!

Do512 and Do312 LAUNCHED!

No comments:
Yesterday, Do512 and Do312 launched officially with the new site. While every metro team has worked hard in the transition process, these teams had large audiences, plenty of partners, and history to turnover.

To mark this historic moment, Kristin shared these images of evolution:
          
Original Logo

V 1.0

       
V 2.0

V 3.0

V 4.0

V 5.0




















































How far we have come! Who knows where we'll be in another few years. To see the whole trip down memory lane, check out the album.

Featured Venue Widget Update

No comments:
You asked for the Featured Venue Widget to be more customizable, so we input the event photo as the background image.  And we were just so excited about it we couldn't wait for a longer update to tell you!

Check it out:


If you find this makes the actual listing harder to read, you can work with your designer to make it more legible.

Note: The image selected for the widget is the event photo* not the poster.

*Going forward, we are now calling the "hero" the "photo" so as not to be all design jargon-y and confusing. More image updates coming your way soon!

What DoStuff's Doing: Redesign Rally and Start to the Holiday Season

No comments:

Weeks 11/19 - 12/4

Time has flown these past two weeks here at DoStuff HQ! And it's only going to speed up for all of us as the holiday vortex - the week of Christmas through New Year's - nears. Despite time for travels, turkey, and taking it easy last week, we've still been pushing hard. Read on for all that DoStuff has gotten done and some of what we plan to do regarding redesign, new metros, and programs!

Redesign Rally

We are in the final stretch of finalizing the redesign and getting everyone transitioned to the new platform.  Do512 and Do312 soft launched this past Monday and will hard launch this coming Monday. That's 75% of our sites nearly transitioned and includes our pioneer metros! This is HUGE and would not be possible without the hard work that everyone has put in to make it happen.

Thanks so much to everyone for their ongoing efforts to make the site the best possible site it can be. We appreciate your insight in our Opportunities project. This past week, we prioritized all fixes and improvements to push for closure on the majority of redesign related work.  

Some of the most recent improvements that are currently live include:
  • The band lineup now appears at the top of the event activity feed and links to all band pages.
  • We clarified "Follows" in the event activity feed.
  • HTML descriptions now work only for users set as Promo Users for site security reasons. 
  • We improved event descriptions to be slightly more customizable and include line-breaks.
  • Day + date are now shown at the top of the homepage, and day + date headers appear in search results.
  • Promo User's can be set to "Auto-redirect" so the user will bypass the Promo User page and be taken directly to the most recent upcoming event voted on by the Promo User.
  • Mobile UI has been streamlined, and you can upload a mobile-specific logo.
  • COMMENTS from Featured Reviewers (scraped comments) are now visible. Check out how this looks on DoLA.
  • POSTER images now display below the event description.  See this example on doNYC.

Some of the most recent fixes include:
  • The Spam Bot question now appears on the event creation form so that users can successfully add events!
  • When opening to "View More" events on a user page, the page no longer displays repeating events.
  • When editing your user profile, you can now change your password.
  • Promo User lists now can be set to sort events by popularity.
  • We've optimized the backend for your site to run even more smoothly with more traffic.

Important note regarding IMAGES:
  • Since we slimmed down the hero area, the ideal height is now 450px.
  • We are defining the image designation and will clarify any current confusion soon!

As mentioned in the last Redesign UPdate, we are A/B testing certain design elements given your feedback and user feedback.  We are currently testing slimmer events on listing pages. See the comparison:

We'll judge which is preferable based on time spent on these pages, bounce rate, and user actions.

We also continue to update documentation with what you need to know regarding these improvements and the redesign overall.  Check out our latest addition of AD SPECS guidance.

New Metro News

Do617 (Boston), Do416 (Toronto), and HazDF (Mexico City) are rapidly moving toward early 2014 launches with progress made on the partner, content, and design fronts.  Do617 continues to break early Twitter follower records. Check out Do416's social efforts on Facebok and Twitter. Stay tuned for HazDF's social debut.

On December 16th and 17th, DoStuff will host Do206 (Seattle) and Do214 (Dallas) for their training bootcamp!

Conversations with new markets are happening with potential partners in Philadelphia, Vancouver, Montreal, Calagry, Denver, Detroit, San Antonio, Milwaukee, and Portlands - that's Oregon as well as Maine!

Programs and Partnerships

The Macallan campaign wrapped reporting and the Eric Andre Adult Swim promotion came to a close. Nokia is running smoothly ahead.

On the potential programs side, we've been having good discussions with brands from Pabst to Pandora. More info to come!

SX! Start thinking about it if you have not already.  We sure are.

Miscellaneous But Noteworthy

  • We're working to finalize more documentation regarding Promo User page customization. 
  • We are also working on Tortuga and Big Ears festival. 
  • The new newsletter template is nearly finalized. 
  • Guestlist app is moving toward completion! 

DoStuff Stuff

Our funding conversations went well the past few weeks and will continue after the holidays. We are moving forward in conversations to expand our current team so that we can better support you all and continue to grow.  

We are planning on transitioning from Episode 4 to Episode 5 in early January.  We're pushing through all tasks under the "This Episode" heading in the Opportunities project and also on all of our ongoing projects. We will definitely be informing you all how the final stretch goes and what our priorities are the upcoming episode.

We hope you all had wonderful Thanksgivings and are enjoying the start to the holiday season!
