Well, we officially launched that test a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half of our U.S. event planners will now see PayPal Credit as one of their payment methods.

Both tests were wrapped up in August and called in favor of the new variation of each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Message statuses: <\/strong>We found that changing the inbox status for sent messages did not have a statistically significant effect on behavior, but it showed encouraging trends toward more bookings. We believe it also improves the user experience. You will now always see &#8220;Message sent&#8221; when you reply to a lead with a message, and that status will change to &#8220;Message seen&#8221; when the client opens it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"207\" data-attachment-id=\"23394\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/product-update-september-2020\/message-statuses-2-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/message-statuses-2.png?fit=1292%2C261&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1292,261\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"message-statuses-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/message-statuses-2.png?fit=1024%2C207&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/message-statuses-2.png?resize=1024%2C207&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/message-statuses-2.png?resize=1024%2C207&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/message-statuses-2.png?resize=450%2C91&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/message-statuses-2.png?resize=150%2C30&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/message-statuses-2.png?resize=768%2C155&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/message-statuses-2.png?w=1292&amp;ssl=1 1292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Message email notifications: <\/strong>After months of watching the results of this test, we found it was going to take far too long to reach statistically significant results.

But one feature that was missing from that launch was the ability to block leads for those recurring events. The option was in place, but we didn&#8217;t have it properly working with our lead-sending system. It is now! If you added a recurring event and chose to block the leads, we will not send you leads that conflict with those dates and times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verified\">A new way to get verified reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-verified-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Verified reviews are incredibly valuable<\/a> and make your profile more appealing to prospective clients. The easiest way to collect verified reviews is to book through the site, because then we follow up with the client for you in a series of review-request emails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what about when you book off the site? Now, when you get an unverified review from a client you got from GigSalad but booked directly, we&#8217;ll send you an email to let you know that the review qualifies for being verified. All you&#8217;ll have to do is mark the lead as booked and voila \u2013 a verified review!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"679\" data-attachment-id=\"23399\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/product-update-september-2020\/unverified-review-follow-up-email-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/unverified-review-follow-up-email-2.png?fit=625%2C679&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"625,679\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"unverified-review-follow-up-email-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/unverified-review-follow-up-email-2.png?fit=625%2C679&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/unverified-review-follow-up-email-2.png?resize=625%2C679&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/unverified-review-follow-up-email-2.png?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/unverified-review-follow-up-email-2.png?resize=359%2C390&amp;ssl=1 359w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/unverified-review-follow-up-email-2.png?resize=138%2C150&amp;ssl=1 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"locke\">Quirky questions with our head nerd \ud83e\udd13<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locke Bircher has been with GigSalad from the beginning and was the first developer on staff.
