Over the past three months, we’ve been listening intently to all of your comments and suggestions, and most importantly, we’ve been incorporating it. I wanted to look back at some of the improvements we’ve made based on your suggestions:

• September 26, 2007: New Feature: Project and Time Tracking
• September 12, 2007: New and Improved Preferences Page
• August 15, 2007: Geting New Business and Managing Leads
• August 10, 2007: Invoice printing and other improvements
• July 22, 2007: Affiliate Program Launches
• July 13, 2007: Invoices Include .pdf Attachments

I wasn’t until after creating the list that I realized that we have been pushing at least two updates to the service per month. I’m not sure if we will keep up this pace, but we’ll certainly continue to listen to your feedback and take as much action as we possibly can.

Thanks again for your support.

While doing integration with other service providers, we realized that we did not have enough room in Settings area to manage partner credentials and settings. Therefore, we have updated the settings page and in the process, hopefully also improved its usability. In addition, this update also includes minor bug fixes in printing.

Now your customers can easily refer your business to their friends and family, and allow you to track these referrals. You can optionally add a link to invoices that your customers can click on to refer your business to their friends and family. They can also choose to send you these email addresses for tracking purposes.

In addition, when you log-on to your account, you’ll notice a new section called Leads and Referrals. This is where you can track and manage your leads. Moreover, if your customers choose to you send you the email addresses of the persons to whom they have referred your business to, they will automatically be added in the Leads section.

Many of you have expressed the need to print invoices. While SimplifyThis had printing capability, it was not really of the quality that you expect from SimplifyThis. We have been working for some time to make printed invoices look professional. Today, we have updated the application with better print capability. From now on when you print invoices, they will be properly formatted with appropriate page breaks.
In this update, we are also making two minor changes in invoice:
(i) Invoices will no longer add “Please make all checks Payable to” note. Some of you told us that you would rather add payment instructions yourself. You could do so in the bottom note area.
(ii) Invoices will now include customer’s contact name as well as business name, if there is one.

If you use SimplifyThis and are happy with it, we would appreciate if you can tell your friends about it. You will help them with the best invoicing application they could find, help us in spreading the word about SimplifyThis, and help yourself by getting a generous revenue share as a token of appreciation from us.
