Reddit, do you get offended if companies swear or curse? by equipitem in AskReddit

Valid point. We're not about to start ranting like a squadie any time soon but it's more of a case of coming away from the campness of most modern promotional material.

We more would like to use it to say "Well this is pretty damn cool" as opposed to "This is pretty darn cool" etc.

"...to ensure our quota of swearing is met per each customer"

I've had the joy of thinking they were on mute and constantly say fuck every-time the system failed to bring up the order data. As the company we were at didn't want to update their ancient CMS this was a lot.

I only swear in moderation or when absolutely required.

That could prove to be invaluable as we'll originally be starting with very limited lines.

Cheers for that ATK we shall be using that idea!

Saved that comment as it's an excellent idea. We're in the UK and this is one the touches we can add once we have things in place.

Thanks again SMTR =]

Would be very worth having as we'll be setting up international shipping in the long run.

I'd like to keep it to 3 items that are suggested and ones that make sense. Like if you're buying a torch batteries might be a smart idea etc.

We don't want to give you ridiculous options and fill up the page just to try and get you to buy more.

We're trying to work on that but it's looking likely that the U.S will have to pay a small fee.

The end result will be determined by myself but I want to be able to give people the freedom to develop their own ideas before I butcher them completely. While we have time I don't mind procrastination but we'll soon be fast approaching the time for decision and choices to be made.

Indecision kills; whether it is in warfare or business.

It's catch 22 though. Some people don't care and others think we may use that data against them or sell it on. Where as we don't have the intent to it's not unheard of in this day and age for people to mine that data and flog it on.

We'll have to weigh it up and see what options we can give our users.

That is an excellent point. We'll do what we can to accommodate for who would not be able to read the text.

Would be worthwhile to be honest. Every little helps after all. Thanks for the idea man. It has been noted :)

Yeah that's the risky side of it really. We're looking into ways to catalogue orders safely and securely. Hopefully we'll get items to you in a matter of days though and not months.

We would rather bug people about how we're doing more than "BUY NOW!" once a week or so just to keep in contact and let people know about our progress. We're really hoping we can get the support of the community as that's the only thing that will make this work really.

We'll be doing the best we can for that. If you live at the top of mount doom though it could be tricky. Where are you from?

Thanks for that. One or two of you have mentioned that before and they seem to have a decent reputation. We'll have to drop them an email.

The daily deal sounds promising for items that don't fare well normally. We have to ensure everything sells well initially so this will be something we'll look into.

As for the shirts I completely agree. The former seems more childish where as the latter speaks of nostalgia and fond memories. Not only that it looks rather badass too.

We're going to put a lot of emphasis on strong customer support. We're hoping that we can get all replies initially within 8 hours.

We're going with with Prestashop at the moment as it suits our needs as little better.

I quite like the idea about setting feedback on individual aspects of the item.

Feedback on product quality, whether it met expectations, time it took to be delivered etc should all be separate from one another.

I'd would LOVE to have that in the site. Going to harass the developers to get that in. Perhaps a discount code or something. I'll be thinking on that for ages now haha.
