The CK Daily – We need your feedback!
Happy Friday, folks! My family drove through the Great Smoky Mountains this week, and it was a fun drive! We were pleasantly surprised to see how much the leaves had changed colors, and the scenery was beautiful! I hope that you’ll get out and enjoy nature this weekend!
Jason and I have written over the past few months that we are transitioning our website to a new platform (the technical term is eCommerce platform or ECP for short). We are close to being done and would like to have a few of our customers experience the site and provide us with feedback before we go live. If you’d like to be one of the first to experience our new site, reply to this email, or you can reach me directly at [email protected]. I’d love to hear your feedback!
Have a great weekend!
Chris
