[Pantone]

Started 1/13/24 | Current Status: Compiling Inventory

xCatalog Styling: Pantone @ IMVUx This is a new "series", or journey if you'd like, of actually putting my catalog styling services to use. It's something that I have wanted to offer, but had no bites for over the last few years - so I am going to make a case study about my own experiences, inventory and time-sink to revamp m IMVU catalog. If you are new here, I am Pantone on Art Haven, but also Pantone on IMVU and I have been playing on the platform for about fifteen years. This thread is going to be dedicated to the design, strategy and quantification of a grandfathered creator account and bringing the marketing/design up to date (2024).   xMY RESOURCESx Google Sheet (Inventory) | (LINK) Current Visible Products: 327   xCurrent Icon Design (Yes All Current Icons of Pantone)x This is gonna document how many icons are in m public catalog on IMVU. (And all of the name changes I have had and never updated my own icon for.)

1/14/24 Notes

Started the process of figuring out what was public, what wasn't (visibility). Considering what types of icon I will need (hair, furniture, sticker/badge, clothes, etc. Determining if I want one icon or a set of icons that are similar in theming. Also deciding if I am optimizing the titles/descriptions/product pages as well. I'm leaning toward yes. Starting to formulate what the overall design concept will be - has to span icons, homepage, product page, banners. Before establishing a design, I am working through updating what the new titles should be and what 12 keywords we should use in the product submission. Got through about 22-ish products with updating title and search keywords. Made/coded a product page with more SEO-rich content. Applied it to one product (after making aesthetic adjustments) Made changes to one hairstyle product: icon, product page, keywords and product name. Decided on icon/banner look - kept it clean and seasonally mild:     Total work time today: 4HR, 10M

Working in "chunks" today, starting with any hair formerly named "Ariel". PS2017 - the "Replace Content" is saving my brain, it'll be really easy to do this in batches, rather than just go by the master list, in order. Realizing now all of my hair SHOULD be the same in price.. and they are 100% not. Did 9 updates, with icon, product page update in right about an hour. Able to bring back one hidden product so far, to add to the hair I am working through. Progress! In total I updated & submitted 37 products back into peer review. I have back around 17 approved and live, after PR.   Total work time today: 3HR, 15M
