Well, I've been mega slack on the updates - sorry!
I will try to get in the habit of posting an update literally every single day to keep you connected to what's going on in the office.
Many of you may have noticed a spike in HSC forum use... this is incredibly exciting for ATAR Notes, who, as a community, have been working towards building a NSW forum community for
over 5 years - since the site URL name changed from vcenotes.com to atarnotes.com
We made a breakthrough last week during the HSC lectures. We showed every single HSC student our forums, and told them that if they started posting in NSW, they could have something similar. And they responded! They are also in the middle of an exam period at the moment, so their motivation is peaking haha.
As for other things AN: lectures were a huge success. 29 VCE session, 22 session in HSC - every single one of them completely free. a huge success.
We are also changing distributors and cleaning up our processes on notes delivery. Previously, the delivery process was manual. I downloaded the orders into a spreadsheet, sent them to the distributor, who sent them to his employee(s), who packaged the notes and sent them out.
In changing distributors, we have managed to get a process where the distributor gets a notification when there's an order, and sends stock out immediately. This should reduce our shipping time from 3-5 days to 1-2 days. It's costing us a bit more, but 100% worth it to ensure people get their orders extremely fast.
Moderator applications are imminent and from here on out will be frequent.
We are also setting up a new area of the forums for new members to learn the ropes, read the rules, and make their first post... That will become visible to you soon!!
All in all - exciting times at AN, and I'll make sure I keep you updated so you can share in the excitement, too
