Waiting on Martha blogger office

I can’t reiterate enough how helpful and insightful our reader survey results have been.  From usability to editorial content to how you’re reaching us and beyond, the brief-ish survey covered a dozen topics important to WOM as we challenge ourselves to give you the best of the best, every day. And the findings have already been instrumental to shaping what’s in store for the blog.  While some feedback reinforced what we expected, other feedback opened our eyes to new, valid points a few I’d love to chat about for a moment.  

In terms of usability, we’re planning to increase font size, darken coloring and improve overall navigation through tagging, search, and a few key website updates.  We’ll be focusing on ways to make it even easier to “get the look” with easy, obtainable links of products (that are still in stock!).  And we get it—you hate the slideshows—so rest assured we’ll be unveiling an even better way to showcase that material to you soon. We’re knee-deep in a good mobile-friendly overhaul for all of our mobile and tablet readers out there as well. 

I could fall down a rabbit hole addressing each and every takeaway, (in fact we’ll be writing a few new posts inspired by your thoughts), but one takeaway I want to make sure I mention is around commenting.  I was so sad to learn that most of you don’t like to comment on blogs (ours or others) because you don’t feel you’re being heard or your opinions don’t matter.  While I can’t speak for others, I assure you that is not case here.  Kat and I read each and every comment, and we’re quick to pass around a feel-good moment and discuss those not so feel good moments to the entire team. Your thoughts, constructive criticism and opinions are always welcome here and truly means the world to us.  It’s that support and feedback that helps us keep hustling.

I want to thank you all again for taking the time to share your two cents with us.  The blog has grown and evolved in four years, and I personally can’t wait to see it continue to grow.  Truly, MKR

P.S. If you didn’t get the chance to complete the reader survey, you can do so here.  xo

We’re Listening: Waiting on Martha Reader Survey

Waiting on Martha Reader Survey

To think that I’ve been with Waiting on Martha for three years (!) is pretty remarkable. I joined as a bright-eyed intern at five hours per week, and even from those early days I knew I was joining something to be reckoned with.  Mandy Kellogg Rye (or MKR as she signs and everyone lovingly refers to her on here) had been blogging for a little over a year by the time I jumped on board, and even then she had already begun to create a brand that captured beauty in the everyday and celebrated the details that could inspire.  I couldn’t quite put my finger on it at the time, but there was this electric energy in everything she did, and I knew that joining the WOM train would open up my world to an even better place.  It was apparent that MKR’s passion to share the best in entertaining, food & drink and interiors served a growing audience by the day, and I saw first-hand how we made waitingonmartha.com into an online destination for all of that and more.  

Now, in our fourth year, waitingonmartha.com shares content across the board, ranging from beauty and fashion to entertaining, tablescapes and interiors.  And let’s not forget about travel, career advice and interviews on some of the best creatives in the biz.  As we look to the summer and beyond, our editorial calendar is as stacked as ever, and we’re eager to challenge ourselves to bring you even better, and possibly different, content than before. 

We’re conducting a brief-ish survey for all of our readers to learn what’s working (and what’s not!) on waitingonmartha.com.  I say “brief-ish” because there are under 30 questions, (we’re all busy people here), but we’d really love for you to take your time and be honest with your answers.  Within the survey, you’ll find questions covering general usability, as well as editorial content and topics you wish to see more, or less of.  We have some big updates and projects in the pipeline, and we want to best serve you, our lovely readers and friends, because you help keep this crazy train going.  From all of us at WOM, thank you so much for being part of our world.  Cheers, Kat
