Behind the Scenes

Some notes about what I’ve been up to this last week.

• Memindia writing: in gearing up for the opening of the CMR store, I’ve been working hard to see that there’s a somewhat respectable amount of inventory in the store to browse (and purchase!)
• Store set up: I’ve opened an account with a company called Modular Merchant, an ecommerce provider that specializes in digital download delivery and subscription services (two the cornerstones of the Memindia model I’ve created). I’m excited to be working with them and think it quite possible that launch will happen on schedule IN ONE WEEK!

Memindia Launch Schedule

Launch Day:

Tuesday, August 25, 2009!

In the meantime, I will be filling the Free Samples section of this website one Memindia a week between now and launch on the following schedule:

First Free Sample: posted Aug 1.

Second Free Sample: posted Aug 4.

Third Free Sample: posted Aug 11.

Fourth Free Sample: posted Aug 18.

Then one week thereafter, the store launches with the first Subscriber Memindia download available as well as a limited initial inventory of individual Memindia for sale.

E-Newsletter Starting

Catholic Media Resources now has an account with Constant Contact, a very reputable email marketing company, to help get the word out about CMR and all its products (like this one: Memindia) and partners (Soul Play).  I’ve begun setting up the account over there and have added sign up boxes in the sidebars of all three sites.  If you’d like to hear periodic updates from me about what CMR is up to or would like to receive the e-newsletters from one of the more specific lists (Memindia Previews and Soul Play News right now), you can do so through that sign up box.  Of course, feel free to go crazy and subscribe to all of them! The first emails from those e-newsletters should be going out in next couple of weeks.

Progress Update

Sorry I haven’t posted anything here in a really long time. I have been working and hope to launch here very soon.

Reality Check

Just in case anyone’s actually reading here this soon (since I’ve done zero promotion on this site yet), I just wanted to let you know that my new launch goal is the end of April.  Easter is just too ambitious.  Being still in the learning phase of things, I’m noticing that everything takes longer than you expect when establishing something new.  I will keep updating here as quick as I can, but have to complete some large audio/video editing/mastering projects first.  I rather like the fact that I have way too much to do for the time I have.  Daunting and exciting at the same time!
