Default Embroidery Software POLL

I just thought it's interesting to get a few opinions on what people really consider when purchasing software.

If you have any comments besides the poll, is great.

Hi Nevi. Good to see you here. I see you've been a member of the forums for a while but haven't posted much. You need to jump in more and share all that knowledge you have.

hi Thanks for the lil note. Things are so extremely busy at the moment (as you can imagine with getting software ready)..and doing my usual daily digitizing, so I haven't really been posting much in forums myself. I love reading and posting etc, but no real time for now..but later when things settle a bit I'd like to share more. I suppose one the software launches, and people see some valuable asset in it, there should be much more to talk about..lol.

Nevi, I already responded on another forum but to add to that I like the idea of a demo version. I think that would be a good selling point. People are very cautious about paying a lot of money for something they don't have any experience with. If they could "play" with the software (possibly follow a few tutorials) they would feel more comfortable about the purchase.

Default Re: Embroidery Software POLL

hi
Thanks..I think a demo will go a long way to showcasing the overall capabilities. What I did hear from many, is that they have been burned by watching well prepared clips, and very smoothly engineered samples and examples of designs/functions etc..which is all part of the 'sales machine' of the norm.
I think people may find some outstanding differences in I-Cliqq,and also..since the actual user forum puts any purchaser directly in contact with the development team, it all might prove quite interesting.
Some people say I'll never be good at sales because I tell the truth..LOL...

I think I'm a designer/digitizer first...selling stuff is secondary. I would imagine people might find the development path of I-Cliqq different too..There is a difference in the embroidery industry, between just ordinary software sales and embroidery software sales I think. My idea for I-Cliqq is that it should earn its reputation by what people feel, and not what contrived sales pitching can do.

Over the years, I've seen numerous software packages claim many things, but ' operation' is a totally different thing. I suppose I-Cliqq may be viewed as one of those things that just doesn't come around everyday...Thats my opinion, but I figure others will get to share that over time.

This is just the V1.0, so it should be viewed in that light..Bigger companies have been around 20-25 years, so we're the kiddies...but..well, I suppose I should let people do all the commenting at the demo stage
I don't want to ever be a 'sales pitcher'..I'd like people to say ' I heard nice things about I-Cliqq..I have to have that' too!'

Those following the advent of I-Cliqq from V1.0 to V2.0 may find something very formidable and capable about the development stream...The team, is also the smallest team on this planet..but, we'll try our best to please

So, being the babies in software, we'll obviously have the few bumps..but I think on average, this industry will have something fresh, and given the economic times we're in , we also consider that new technology really becomes more important than ever, to be competitive.

I live in the world of everyday embroidery..I know how folks struggle with justifying costs, affording upgrades, trying to learn and in many cases doing secondary jobs too.

Some people did laugh and said we have no chance against all the giants out there ..Thats ok...its fun to fly in the face of all that say 'never'.

I-Cliqq is our effort, for the globe to see...we may be tiny...but thats the challenge of software. I-Cliqq will show many that innovation doesn't end just with what is 'known'.

All in all, I could just say that people may just find everything quite fascinating, and some people may be more surprised than others.

What is important to me to to have a local dealer who knows how to use the software. Not just a store selling it.

I get in a bind I want to know I can run in or pick up the phone and have them talk me thru it
