Re: Advertising in the Files?

[Guest guest]

Hi Judy,

I hope it's okay to advertise our company on CI Hear. I've been a member of CI

Hear for a long time since before I got my CI in 2005. I used to be on here a

lot, but lately I've been more of a lurker. My wife and I started our company

last month and our hopes are that we can provide high quality products at low

prices to the hard of hearing, including CI users, and people with low vision.

I hadn't planned on advertising on CI Hear, but when I logged on yesterday, I

saw that other people were advertising on here. So, I felt it only fair that we

advertise too and give people another place to check out. I am part of this

community and this group helped me so much when I was considering getting a CI,

that now that I've started an online store, I only wanted to give back.

Thanks and Hugs,

Stan

Hi Stan, I don't have anything to say about it. Alice, our moderator is the one

who should approve it and if she thinks it's okay, that's fine. I guess there

is other advertising on here, but they seem to be more like resources with

choices rather than outright selling. Since I'm a moderator for other groups

which don't permit selling, I notice things like this. However, I go with the

flow.

Hi Judy,

Thanks for your comments! I agree with you completely about Alice making any

decisions about whether our link should stay or not. I'd like to think of our

store as more than just another place to buy things. My plans are to continue

adding things, like one of the feature articles, in which I talk about my CI.

My hope is that our store will be a place for anyone to feel welcome and maybe

learn a little about CI's and hearing loss. In fact, if Alice would allow it,

I'd like to put a link to on our site. Like I said, this site and the

wonderful people on here helped me tremendously when I was comtemplating getting

my CI. (I'm not sure I could have done it without you! A few members went out

of their way to help me decide whether to get my so called good ear or my

totally deaf ear implanted!)

I need to comment on this. is correct. Advertising is not allowed in

the group messages, in the list files or in the list links. I'm sorry that this

might be offensive but if you give it thought, you will understand why that rule

is necessary.

Thank you Judy for pointing it out as I don't catch them all and thank you

for your message and removing the ad that was posted.

For the group - a special thanks for your understanding.

Hi Alice, , and Judy,

Removing my site from the links is not offensive to me at all and I fully

understand why you don't want it full of ads. When I saw the links listed, I

didn't realise that they were only resource links. I clicked on a couple and

saw advertisements for products and assumed it was okay to add my site. I only

wanted to give back to the group for all the help the group gave me when I was

thinking about getting a CI. Please accept my apology.

Sincerely,

Stan

P.S. My CI, which was implanted on 24 February 2005, is still doing great. I'm

no longer lost in a hearing world. (Just lost. LOL) Alice, thank you for

creating . In my honest opinion, I believe that it is the best site for

impartial information on CI's and a great site for CI users.

P.S.S. , I still would like to have a cup of mocha with you some day!

Stan,

Good to hear from you. You could create a small sig and put your link

in there. Many people do it but some put a novel in the sig. Usually

several lines of all their online contacts...Skype, Facebook, Twitter etc.

Way too much.

I still live in bewport so give me a holler. I love mochas and its the

time of year for them!

Stan,

There is no need for apology. I totally understand what happened.

I'm very glad to read that you are still doing well with your CI. I know how

much it changes your life. Many thanks for the complements. I'm glad the list

can reach out to those who need it.

Hi ,

Glad to hear from you also. I'm surprised you still like Mocha's! LOL

Thanks for the suggestions. If I'm ever down that way (Newport), I'll

definitely give you a shout and hopefully buy you a long awaited mocha.

Unfortunately, I haven't been to Newport in several years. Maybe, I'll have to

add it and mocha to the 2012 calendar. Oh wait, you said it's the time of year

for them! (Oh, oh, I'd better add it to this year's calendar! <smile>)
