Sole Based Promotion?
I know I'm not the only person wondering here, but as it is now past the official middle of the month, I'm curious as to when we will know what the promotion is. While I love Epinions with all of its bugs, glitches, and other assorted hyjinks, I've been discussing through emails with other Epinionators when we could expect an announcement of the sole based promotion. Perhaps Almar could let us know what to expect.

You had to do it, didn't you. Just when the bad puns and rhymes were no longer running amok...you had to stir things up.

RE: Sole Based Promotion?
Maybe the "sole" promotion will be announced on the "heels" of the recently distributed August IS/10-4-10 earnings? |

RE: Sole Based Promotion?
Well...it looks like soles for Souls is the promotion. Good. Its been nice getting something to line my own pockets the past few months...it will be nice to help others before the weather starts getting cold. I guess I need to rummage through my closet for some shoes to review. I did my running shoes last December....hmmm...I am due for a new pair...

A General Thought
It seems that the Shoe section is a mess. And it is unlikely that any IS will be earned given the fact that the shoes I clicked on were all "review" reviews. I was looking for the shoes on my feet right now...which are not in the database.
I do not know who to send the SAP to, because the shoes do not show up in a particular category. I have emailed Almar and will post if I get an answer. If this promotion is going to work, there is a good chance that many items will need to be SAPed.

I was just going to pipe up and say the same exact thing. But, looks like you did it for me.

I think it may be Wellness and Beauty. Typing shoes generically generated a drilldown from that category. I would have never guessed that one.

It is Wellness & Beauty. There are also shoes in Sporting Goods, but it's my understanding that only shoe reviews written under Wellness & Beauty will participate in the S for S promotion. So if you need to SAP, direct it to W & B.

That is interesting because I just read a review by dlstewart on an internet shoe company...I wonder if she (or the charity) gets credit for that one.

Oh, that's just Great, Not...I just wrote a shoe review August 28th.........seems to me this is not going to go over well for the general epinions population since it's hard to find the right shoe to review and as for me I wrote another one 2 months ago...I don't buy too many shoes these days...;( |

Wish I had known!
I've posted a shoe review or two or three...
I would have saved them! I did post one for this month so there's $5.00 for the cause! Guess I'm going to have to go out and buy some more shoes to review.
ps. I have earned IS on my shoe reviews. Granted not much, but better than zero!

RE: Wish I had known!
Actually, we're back-dating this a bit because it took us a while to get this going. Per the rules, we're counting shoes reviews dating back to September 1st. So if you wrote a shoe review (yes, it has to be in the shoes category - http://www.epinions.com/Shoes), we'll count it towards the promotion.
Thanks for the interest!

I have never written a shoe review and don't see that changing. I rarely buy new shoes because I have so much trouble finding ones that fit right and are comfortable. I only have..hmm..maybe 4 pairs. So I won't be participating in this promotion.

We have a variety of name brand shoes for all seasons but I have only found ONE (or was it two?) in the database--which I did review. I could have sworn that I was told shoes could not be SAPed. Or was that something else? |

Since this promo had a late start, will the next promo begin October 1st or later? The ones of us who have already done all of the shoe reviews possible are curious. Does epinions have promos every month usually? |

RE: Wish I had known!
I've been here over 3 years, and there was some promotion or other every single month since I've been here.
Of course, that's not a guarantee of future months.

RE: SAPing Shoes
*not* a CL ---->
but I am fairly sure Beauty and Wellness cannot add shoes/clothing.
:-)
(I don't think anyone can)
I think it has to be something "in" the database.
There is no Shoes/Clothing/etc option to even "ask" for in Wellness and Beauty.
*edited to note I see someone posted above that they asked Almar, which is probably the best solution ... I just know being a titleholder in W&B we can't have shoes added currently :) hth!
