Hey Guys, It's Brett (Page 16 of 17)

Sorry, what weekly newsletter are you referring to?

Thanks,
Jim

I don't mind them, but wish there was more news content and less of the merchandise promotion. On occasion they border on, "Hey let's try to sell the new Joe Bonamassa necktie and matching handkerchief, include a news tidbit and call it a newsletter."

I'd suggest 2 separate mailings. How about sending out a newsletter that's a true NEWS letter. Then on alternating weeks you could send out something like a "Joe B Online Store Ezine" that advertises featured products and a weekly special or something.

Just an idea.

Agree.

well I think I figured it out at least a little. i think the orginal email or something about this made it seem like maybe something different in my head?
The website link to 'about' in one place takes you to a page saying you need to update your browser, so that is part of the confusion. On a different page when I clicked 'about' it took me to what it was about.
So basically the scannable code on the shirt should take you to the website page that talks about that shirt design, not your own personal web url as I kind of thought it might.

my next prediction is that there is a 50-50 chance Brett will come tell us about the Earth Day shirt (part of proceeds donated)

I would also agree. An excellent idea. It seems the more stuff I see in the store, the more unlikely I have become to buy any of it.

Ok, this can't continue.

Jam on Brett's last appearance here was on Jan. 27. Numerous questions have been asked since then. I have written to Larry on three occasions now asking for clarification about Brett's status, and have received zilch in reply. I have asked Troy to remind Larry. Nothing.

Meanwhile, there is also a long thread on Bonanation on FB on exactly this subject, the total lack of communication from the office (excluding Troy, who is here for forum IT-related issues, not for everything else). Many different people (almost all non-forum) have expressed their frustration there about a number of different things - the most important of which right now is the official confirming of Australian dates and the sending out of pre-sale info to Oz since tickets go on sale there this week!

If Brett is no longer at J&R, can someone else please take on the updating of this topic?

If he isn't, can someone else kindly come and perform the same function?

Can Larry start responding to his mail?

If not, can someone else take over from Alexis?

If not, can Alexis come back?

I just got an email from brett@J&R regarding the new DTTD video, FWIW...

Thanks for that input, at least we now know that he still works there.

Maybe they're all just very busy. I have no idea how many people work at J&R but with everything going on right now (current tour, S. American tour, Australian tour, the acoustic shows, email blasts etc etc) I'm sure they're busier than a port-o-potty at a peanut festival.

They're all doing the best they can and maybe we need to lower our expectations a bit.
