Less Email From Fashion Industry Network is a Good Thing

Good news... Today I have implemented a Daily Email Digest for the Fashion Industry Network.  You may be asking, "what does that mean?"

This new feature will allow members to receive emails from the Fashion Industry Network in a once-a-day digest, instead of all email notifications being sent individually as they have been done in the past.

Forum discussion notifications, friend requests, Group activity, profile comments — will be put into the Email Digest so members can skim them at-a-glance.

Daily Email Digests should make it easier for active members to avoid a deluge of email notifications.  If there’s no activity in a given day for a member, they will not receive the digest for that day. If there is activity relevant to them, they will. We think this will provide a welcome middle ground for those members who may not visit every day but who want to stay abreast of the ongoing activity.  Keep in mind in your e-mail settings, you can choose to receive no e-mails at all.  However, this digest may be a good approach.

Members will see a new option on their individual Email Settings page where they can switch between instant and daily emails.

Note: A few very important emails like Broadcast Messages and private messages, as well as minor emails  (like a notification that a video has been processed) will continue to be sent instantly. But the bulk of email notifications will be sent in a convenient digest format.

Please note that we may experience a few glitches as we further test this system.  However, I think it will be beneficial.  Hopefully, you agree...
