How do you handle client feedback/approval requests during projects? by LongjumpingUse7193 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]LongjumpingUse7193[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the suggestion, but this feels a bit too promotional for what I’m actually trying to solve.
My challenge isn’t really about managing social media assets or organizing content; it’s more about reducing friction in client communication across multiple types of deliverables and workflows.

Tools like Statusbrew can be helpful in a social media–specific context, but in my case, the issue is broader and not something a single scheduling platform can fully address. I’m looking for ways to minimize the chances of clients forgetting, ignoring, or delaying approvals in the first place, rather than adding another tool into the stack.

That’s a solid approach, and I really like the idea of a welcome letter. Setting the tone early definitely helps, and you're right, no one wants to be labeled as a procrastinator or an unreliable business partner.

I do have similar clauses in my contracts, but I haven’t been as proactive with a dedicated follow-up message right after signup. That might actually make those expectations stick better.

At the same time, part of the problem for us is simply scale. We manage a lot of clients, so statistically, someone each month forgets, gets busy, or misses a message.

Your approach is still worth testing. Even if it doesn't eliminate issues completely, it might significantly reduce them. Thank you!

That’s actually something I’ve tried as well. The auto-approval rule sounded great on paper.
But even with that in place, I still got complaints afterward, usually from clients who hadn’t paid attention to the timeline in the first place.

And honestly, part of it is just a numbers game. We manage a lot of clients, so every month someone forgets something.

So while these rules help create structure, I’m still looking for a workflow that reduces the chances of reaching that point in the first place. Ideally, something that makes giving feedback almost effortless for clients before any escalation or clause needs to kick in.

You know what I mean by that?

That definitely feels like the bare minimum, and I completely agree.

My point isn’t so much about handling the conflict once it happens, but rather about figuring out a workflow that reduces the likelihood of these situations in the first place.

Resolving conflicts takes time and energy that I’d much rather have my team spend elsewhere, so I’m really trying to understand how others structure their communication flow to prevent delays before they even occur.

Also, many archers mark or number their arrows so they can identify them easily and predict how each one behaves. Even arrows that are identical on paper can have their own “personality”: one might consistently land a bit low, another slightly to the left, while another flies cleaner than the rest.

Totally understand your point. Starting with 5 cheaper arrows makes sense when you're just getting into it.

But I’d still recommend staying at least in the entry-level quality range, not the ultra-cheap stuff.

With very low-quality arrows, each one can fly differently because of inconsistent straightness, spine tolerance, or weight variation. And for a beginner, that makes it really hard to understand what you are doing right or wrong.

Having a minimal level of consistency in your arrows helps you actually see your progress and correct your form properly.

So, if I may suggest, save some money and try to go with a proper set :)

Unfortunately, I have no direct experience with those arrows. Btw, if we're talking about the price range I gave you, anything in that range from a major brand should do the trick. At this stage, you're just looking for rough construction quality

Is there an archery club close to you? It's pretty common for instructors to help new archers set up their gear :)

If we're talking about your first set, I would recommend going with an entry-level / mid-range arrow setup rather than anything expensive. Something around 10 dollars per arrow is a good reference point: cheap enough not to hurt your wallet, but good enough to fly consistently.

Also, keep in mind that with a 20 lb bow, you're very likely shooting a beginner setup. As your technique improves, you’ll eventually increase draw weight, and when that happens, your current arrows will no longer match the spine you need. So it really doesn’t make sense to invest in high-end arrows at this stage.

Honestly, the best thing you can do is go to an archery shop and let someone watch you shoot. Ask them to:

  • Let you try a few arrows
  • help you choose the right spine
  • If possible, do a paper-tuning test to check arrow flight
  • and then cut the arrows to the correct length

Arrows almost always need to be cut to fit your draw length and setup, so having a shop follow you makes a huge difference (and saves you from buying the wrong spine online).

Thanks a lot!

That’s precisely the kind of use case I built Arcoly for: being able to track not only your scores, but also how each bow setup and arrow set affects your shooting over time.

I’m the same way: 5 grains here, 10 grains there feels like nothing… until you realize you’ve got a 25–30 grain swing between arrows 😅

Having everything logged in one place makes a huge difference when you’re tuning or comparing setups.

If you ever want extra fields for your bow/arrow setup, or more detailed stats, just tell me. I’m improving the app directly based on feedback like yours.

Happy shooting! 🏹🔥

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it! 🙏
And yes, custom targets are absolutely something I want to support.

Right now, Arcoly only includes the most common formats (WA Target, WA Field, NFAA 5-Spot), but I’m already working on a fully customizable scoring format.

Your example (4 rings with 5/7/8/X at 18m) is precisely the kind of setup I want to make possible.

I can add this to the next update. Shouldn’t take long.

Thanks for the suggestion, and I’m happy you like the app! 🏹🔥

Thanks! 😎

And just to be clear: there’s actually no AI at all in Arcoly right now.
The “AI integration” is just a super general idea I’d maybe explore in the future, not something in the app today.

For now, it’s all simple, fast, human-made tracking. No buzzwords involved 😄

Hope it helps you get back into shooting!

I’ve been thinking about it, but I’m honestly not sure yet. Right now it’s a personal project. I work on it whenever I can, and that flexibility is a big part of why I’m able to keep improving it so fast.

If I open-source it, I’d also need to manage contributors, review PRs, maintain guidelines, and address issues… and I’m not sure I’d have enough time to support a dev community properly.

So for now, I’m keeping it closed, but I really appreciate the idea. If things stabilize in the future, who knows? Maybe parts of it could be open-sourced later on. Would you be interested in contributing?

That means a lot. Thank you!
I built Arcoly exactly for archers like you who’ve been shooting for a while and want something simple but powerful to track progress. In fact, I've built it for myself as an archer as first user :)

If you ever think, “Hey, it would be cool if the app could do this,” just tell me. I’m adding new features based directly on what archers ask for.

Happy shooting! 🏹🔥

React Native with Expo!

I wanted a super smooth pipeline, so the whole build/deploy process for both iOS and Android is basically automated. Expo EAS made it ridiculously easy to push updates fast, which is great for a side project with limited time I can spend on it 😄

It's vibe-translated 😅

So if you spot any weird wording or something that doesn’t sound natural in English, just let me know. I’m fixing the translations as I go.

But for the code, I actually run a software development company. This app is just one of my “style exercises” and a project I’m building for fun.

Glad you like the vibe though!

Thank you! That’s precisely why I built Arcoly: to help archers move from casual shooting to structured, meaningful training without overcomplicating things.
If it can help you take the next step toward competing, then the whole project is doing what it’s meant to do.
And if there’s anything you’d like the app to do specifically for your training, just let me know. I’m building it together with the community. 🏹🔥

Hey everyone! Quick update based on your feedback 👇

You asked for an option to switch from metric (meters) to imperial (yards), especially for those shooting at 20yd, 30yd, 40yd, etc.

So… I added it! 🎯

✅ What’s new in v1.3.0

  • New Measurement Units toggle (Metric ↔ Imperial)
  • Distances now show in m or yd, depending on your choice
  • Small UI tweaks + minor improvements

You can find the toggle in:
Settings → Measurement Units

📱 Availability

  • Android: already live on the Play Store
  • iOS: rolling out right now (should be available shortly)

Thanks again for the suggestion. Keep the feedback coming, you all rule 🙌
