All plans need to take baby steps to reach their full potential. As said in the past it would be nice to magically wave a wand and have all the changes happen at once. Unfortunately coding takes time and each new features needs to take its turn in the pipeline to get created.
New features that are in the works that we believe will make new users want to trade on this site and keep current users trading.
1) Goozex Exchange will be a permanent addition but instead of Goozex offering items at a fix cost, items will be placed on the site and users will bid for the items using their points. Highest bidder wins the items. We believe this feature will give users more confidence that they can use their points not only for trade but to purchase items.
2) Users will be able to sell points to one another for cash including to Goozex. While Goozex will not sell new points into the system Goozex will sell points it has purchased from other users into the system. With the influx of new users we believe that the current excess of points will become diluted into the new users. We believe that the fact users can sell points will contribute as a confidence builder into the Goozex system.
3) Goozex has been around since 2006 and plans on being around for many more years to come. Goozex is a corporation backed by substantial funding and users can be assured that the corporation will continue to operate.
4) Goozex will be adding new categories to be traded on the site. Your points will in effect be able to purchase more then just games and movies.
5) Goozex will be launching a large advertising campaign that will bring an influx of new users. We believe that new users trading into the system is more beneficial then Goozex purchasing games to sell into the system. New users bring new long term trading partners, a quick influx of games into the system is a short Band-Aid solution with no long term benefit. We can assure you that an advertising campaign will cost a lot more than buying a few games, but the former is a solution that will provide results that will last for many years.
6) Queue system is being addressed and once we are close to being able to release it the solution will be disclosed. We fully expect many of you to like the new queue management system and many of you to dislike it. However we also fully believe that this new queue system will cause game trading to become much more active and no longer require you to have to wait years in line for an item. This will also be an incentive for new users to trade on the site as they will know they will be able to obtain another trade fairly fast.
7) Program that will offer users free tokens for X amount of trades. For example, offer 5 games for trade and get a free token.
These are some of the immediate changes we are going to implement. There are a whole lot more that we will layout once we get closer to their release but hopefully this list will give some of you something to look forward to in the near term.
