once gold member always gold member?

**fireboomer** · #1 17 Jan 2003

Hey Grant and Susan,

Been wandering around the Souk pages a couple times already. Really want to become silver or gold member.
But I am wondering (mayby the info is out there and I missed it...), if I buy an article as gold member, do have to keep paying the gold member price to keep that honourfull status? Or is it seen as a one time deposit?

Btw: how is the Souk doing? Any numbers known?

Pieter.

Hi Pieter

Sorry for the delay in responding to your query, it slipped through the cracks in the chaos while we were draining the swamp (how's that for mixed metaphors?)

The membership status is intended to be valid for one year, but we're not 'enforcing' that rule, since it is a voluntary membership anyway. We appreciate all the support we get. So you need not worry that we will ask you to turn in your Gold Member t-shirt at some future date.

And if you want more than one t-shirt, you only have to pay the membership fee once.

As for the Souk results, they are somewhat seasonal. I plan to give the Souk a major upgrade, both to add new products which CafePress now lets us offer, and to make it easier to navigate since they are offering better software to do that. I will strive to make that happen in April, which hopefully will give sales a boost.

Don't forget you can also contribute via good old-fashioned cheque or money order. Here's the link for details.

Thanks
Susan
