Dear Members,

OK, you saw this in your Inbox, and probably thought, "Shu and Khanh, but we just heard from you." Rest assured, we know you'll find this - edition #1 of the Shustir Community Update -- worth a brief moment. With so much going on at, and about, Shustir, we wanted to keep you in the know.

Communication is a two-way street. We want - make that, need -- to hear from you, too! (Read on to learn how we're making that easier.) Until then, good selling.

Upcoming Site Enhancements

As inaugural members, you are defining and giving life to Shustir.com. We continue to seek your comments and suggestions on improving the site to serve you better. Here are a few major enhancements we are introducing that came straight from you -

Shustir Events Calendar: We've noticed many of you have lots of exciting events posted in your storefronts. We now plan to implement a Calendar feature ensuring everyone can view your event via the Homepage - creating yet another door into your storefront! The Calendar will also allow businesses and customers alike to post community events, enabling even more interaction.

Suggestion Box: We want your advice on evolving Shustir.com to best meet your needs. To that end, we'll soon place a Suggestion Box right on the Homepage, where you can easily, and quickly, submit and share your feedback with us and the entire community.

Business/Consumer-Focused Forums: We're working to make our Forums even more relevant to the community by tailoring topics to reflect business development topics and consumers. Stay tuned.

Facebook/Twitter Badges: Soon, you'll easily be able to link your badges right to your Shustir storefront. With it, another big door will open wide into your storefront.

Please let us know what you think of these enhancements and keep them coming via contact@shustir.com, and via Suggestions in our Forums

Finally, join us in welcoming some of our newest businesses: Full Service Dept @ 4by6.com, Creative Concepts NYC, Mullin & Associates, I.AM.YOU Yoga, Michael Ann Photography, Athena Lee, and Abigail Cafe & Wine Bar.

We remain committed to you and making Shustir.com your marketplace community.

Sincerely,

Shu & Khanh

P.S. Let's all continue to spread the word about Shustir.com!
