Lazy Ipsos Scheduler

April 30, 2024 07:36PM
Whomever is scheduling for the Famous Highway visits SUCKS!

The solicitation emails arrive with the available states listed randomly and with no clickable links.

I think there is only one of their schedulers who alphabetizes the states. I think its a pain for the shoppers.

Try clicking the state listing, I think that worked for me last week.

The link is at the bottom of the list of shops in each state, but in some emails it's invisible. I think that the email is formatted on a computer with a dark background. I know my computer and my tablets offer me a dark background all of the time when I set up something new, I don't like it.

Not for me.

Just got two more. The only clickable link in each is the Unsubscribe at the bottom of the page.

Mine are gray type on a white background, so no contrast issues.

I see the same emails with no links, I also seem 10 emails at a time from this scheduler with tons of overlap and no apparent rhyme or reason for sending 10 emails that probably could have been 1 or 2. But, effective communication to IC's isn't IPSOS' thing. We all know this. Sigh.

I've gotten a few with no shop lists and no links except the unsubscribe link. All of the emails I've received with shops listed by state have an invisible link in the usual place at the bottom of each state's list of shops. I just hover the cursor over the blank space and click. I've never gotten an email with state lists that didn't have links, though I do like it better when I can actually see the links..

I sit corrected.

The invisible link thing is just beyond stupid. There is no logical reason to apply such a "feature".

As posted elsewhere, my M. Ed. specialization is Online/Distance Learning, so best practices in presenting and collecting data in online environments.

This ain't it...
