When you put together your scrapbooking team, you choose members you believe will fulfill all of their responsibilities, get tasks done on time, play an active role in team discussions and activities, and hopefully having some fun scrapbooking in the process.
Then real life sets in and before you know it, one member has trouble remembering just what she’s agreed to do this month, another forgot she was supposed to write that blog post, you lose track of which member has created what layout for which kit, and you spend more time just trying to get everyone on the same page and keep your business running along smoothly than you do actually designing or scrapbooking.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an easier way for you
to help your team members do their jobs?
Whether you need a fast & convenient way to get the message out to everyone on the team, an organized way to assign and keep track of tasks, or an effortless method for reminding everyone who is supposed to do what and when, our Team Scrap Assistant Online account may be just what you need… and you can try it risk-free because the first month is FREE!
Our Small Team Scrap Assistant Online account provides you with a shared team workspace for use by your Team Leader plus up to 15 team members. Through our customized project management platform, you will be able to coordinate deadlines, task lists, product information and more with the benefit of having it all linked together through the magic of technology.
That means …
… you will be able to create a project file for any goal or group of assignments that you like, such a specific kit or month. Within that file, you may then:
- create checklists;
- list individual tasks and assign each one to a specific team member, which will then show up on the member’s printable calendar;
- utilize whiteboards where you and/or your team members can create task sign-up sheets, list ideas, write posts or make notes, all of which may be revised & updated by everyone on the team;
- communicate with your team via a forum-like discussion board;
- attach layouts, photos and other documents to each item.
… you and your team members will have access to your information anywhere you have access to the Internet, even via many mobile devices such as the iPhone, Blackberry, Android and others.
… you’ll be able to easily keep track of team progress within the workspace. As tasks are completed, members can check them off the list so that you can see they are finished. You can also subscribe to individual posts, tasks, whiteboards, etc. so that you receive notification every time an update occurs… or subscribe to the RSS feed for the team activity log for updates on everything that occurs in your workspace each day. Members will even receive an automatic reminder email one day before each task deadline, as well as on each due date.
… your members can be on multiple teams (no limit!) and have all their information from all of those subscribing teams available to them in one central location. The best part is that all of that information from all of those teams is visible only to that member. Members can even view or print out personalized assignment lists filtered by due date.
What all this really means is you’ll spend less time managing your team
AND your team members will have an easier time fulfilling their responsibilities
… freeing up more time for, you guessed it … scrapping!
Frequently Asked Questions…
Why is a Scrap Assistant Online Team Account more useful than my existing store forum or message board? Our workspace provides the convenience of your forum PLUS several other benefits, such as grouped project files, editable whiteboards, automatic reminders to individual team members when a due date is approaching, mobile access, individualized printable task calendars and perhaps the biggest benefit for any of your team members who participate on multiple teams… the ability to see all of their team-related responsibilities in one organized, easy to manage location.
What’s the difference between an individual account and a team account? An individual account can have ONLY one member (the subscriber), whereas a team account will have a Team Leader PLUS multiple members up to the level stated in that account.
How is being a Team Leader on an account different than being a regular member? Every account has one Team Leader, which in the case of the individual account is the person holding the account. The Team Leader in each type of account is the only person on that team who is able to create a new project file for that team. Team members on that account are able to add items to that project file, including images, comments and other information, start discussions and create or edit whiteboards.
Can I have an individual account and be part of a team account at the same time? Yes, an individual can have both an individual (private) account and be a part of a team account at the same time, though individual membership is not required to be part of a team account.
If I’m a member of a team account, why might I want an individual account too? The individual account is designed for individuals who want to track their own individual information for projects related to a team that is not a member of Scrap Assistant Online or for members who want to have the ability to create new project files, task lists, etc., for themselves for their own personal tracking.
How do I pay for my account? Once you subscribe, you will be automatically billed via Paypal each month as long as you remain a member. Team accounts are purchased and managed by the Team Leader or the Designer for whom the team creates, who will then appoint a Team Leader.
Are there any charges or fees to the individual members of a Team Account? No, purchase of a team account covers the full cost of the members included … there is no additional charge for each individual member of that team to participate in that team’s workspace.
What if I decide I no longer want to be a member? You are welcome to cancel at any time by dropping us a line at kristin@scrapassistant.com with your name, email address and username.
Empower your team by helping them get & stay organized!
