It drives me crazy that I can never tell if I am constantly changing my website for anyone! I really want a counter at the bottom of the page that can tell me if anyone is even visiting!! Who would I e-mail at HO to suggest this? I would love to be able to know if my strategies were working to drive people to my website, even if they don't place an order!
 
Go to CC, Managing Your Business, Home Office Contacts, Home Office Emails, Pampered Partner and Web Support. Send an email through CC and let them know. I think it is a great idea, too, so I'll send one as well. The more people sending in the same suggestion, the faster it will be added!
 
I'll send one, too!
 
I had a ton of people do the same last year! I will do it again as well i think it is a great idea.I would love to know how maney people acually go and look !
 
I just sent one too - great idea!
