Engage and make side money

Hi everyone,

One of our projects in 2018 for both TigerMedical.com and TigerSupplies.com is to get our blog sites filled up with a constant stream of strong content value. The main goal of a blog site is to get it ranked high on Google and ultimately bring authority and higher ranking to the site the blog page links to. The way its done is by providing targeted, keyword rich information value to the reader online which will make them read the complete post and share it on social media platforms.

Get involved for extra $$...

We figured, who more then our own selves know better our products and services, so it only makes sense to give all of you the opportunity to be involved. We will offer anyone in the company that is willing to enhance and exercise their writing skills to provide this much-needed item for us, and we will compensate you for the work as appreciation.

Opportunity... 

Alongside earning some extra dollars, this is not only an opportunity to enhance your writing skills, but also add some spice to your work, and moreover, an opportunity to provide additional value to the company and the better your posts perform the more of an asset you become.

Guidelines

1. Read up: In order for you to be good at this you will have to learn the basics of creating good blog posts. The more you read about the more advanced you will become. Here's a good place to start.  
2. Minimum text: 800+, preferably 1000+
3. Topic: We will allow you to choose whatever topic you wish, Product, Service, or random news or information targeted to the websites customer base. You should first make sure we don't have a blog on that topic or if we have already but you want to make it better. 
4. Run it by your manager: If you have an idea of a topic, first run it by your manager to see if he has any ideas of feature point to include or maybe advise something else. 
5. Comment: Once you start working on a topic, comment on this blog post below about the topic you're starting to write about. 

Compensation

The company will pay you $25 per blog post with a maximum of 4 blogs per month. As your page will reach a total of 20 shares on social media you will be given additional $5 per post. We will monitor the post and should your posts attract a lot of good engagement we will raise your compensation on a case by case basis as your value grows. 

This is a test project and your comments are welcome, we hope that you take advantage of this and make it work together.  

Thanks, 

Josh Rosenthal

Ongoing and scheduled updates Q1/Q2 2018

Hi everyone,

As we entered 2018, a few bigger developments are in the works and are ongoing right now which I wanted to update you on.

1. Inventory Management System Switch

The first one on our list, of course, is the switching of our years old MAS inventory management system switching over to a new system called Acctivate. We're very excited about that, as we hope for our process and system to be greatly enhanced by it.

Some of the things that will change and for the better;

1. Combined Company: TS and TM company will be combined into one company separated by branches and categories. This will help for sure with Adir inventory. 
2. No Posting: In the new system, posting is not required. As soon as the order is shipped or received it's completed and inventory is updated. 
3. No more pick sheet printing: Warehouse will print and ship from whatever shows system ready to ship. (also more control of shipments to be on hold etc.)
4. Better returns process.
5. System notifications: System will auto send out a notification to the parties involved in a transaction/document about certain updates. 
6. Documents upload: we will be able to upload document reference to a PO, SO or invoice, for example, customer PO copy, vendor quote, etc.  
7. 3PL EDI connection to Berks warehouse.
8. Website integrations: The websites TS and TM will be integrated and with more direction than before. 
9. Marketplace integration: we will eventually have most marketplace selling channels integrated. 

At the same time, it will be a learning curve for all of us getting familiar with a new system and we're hopeful that we can pull this through together with you for the better future. We are expecting this to launch for Q2.

2. Website Update

We will be redesigning our website end to end this year to give it a fresh feel, we will add new features that will add to the shopping experience. For a glimpse of our new product pages see here

3. Website Email Update

Website email notifications sent to customers will see a complete update, both in design and in features. We hope to give more info to the customer and thereby avoid customer service issues. For a glimpse of our new email design see here.

4. Shop by Brand

Shop by brand pages on the website will be redone and restructured with specific manufacturer categories, tailored to each brand individually. This will be a navigation enhancement.

Your comments are welcome and would be greatly appreciated.

Keeping you in the loop,

Josh Rosenthal
