I got an email today, from the Royal Australian Mint about Shaping Your Collection Survey 2014 Invitation, this is the Invitation:
Dear Royal Australian Mint Collector,
The Royal Australian Mint would like to invite you to join the "Shaping Your Collection" community. This is an exclusive online space for coin collectors and Mint customers. The "Shaping Your Collection" community is a new initiative by the Mint and will explore your background as a coin collector, and your views on coin themes, innovation and current product mix.
What does taking part in our community involve? Basically, we will ask you to register, log into the community at least once a week and participate in a range of research activities including polls and discussions. Periodically, we will share what we have learned from you and how your input has influenced the Mint's products and services.
If you decide to proceed and are accepted as a member you will receive a link to the community. You will also be in the running for gift vouchers as a thank you for your participation.
The "Shaping Your Collection" community will be launched on Monday 18 November 2014 and the Mint wants you to be a part of the project. As a member of the Australian Market and Social Research Society (AMSRS), I strictly abide by all privacy legislation in undertaking any market research activity.
the RAM will shut it down as it cannot handle criticism:laughingneqw::D
I didn't get a invite for the survey. Boo-hoo.
I received the invitation too.
Deleted the e-mail straight away.
No interested in their granny bait.

Now how can they improve their bait without your input? :angel:
I haven't seen an invitation either, but been there, done that with My Mint Story.

Me Too! :i_agree:
I got one as well.
Maybe they are hearing "Whispers" regarding the ABC coin issues and the way most collectors reacted Negatively to it :angel:

But people are still going to buy the ABC series.
Could we do a survey here on who will be buying the series & who will not?
it's just free (for the mint) focus group stuff
their consumer engagement branch
nothing to fear folks
I did receive the invite eventually and I am going to participate.
I received the invite and I am going to participate also.
I'll be having my say too.
You can register for SYC via the link on this page after you fill in a brief survey to see if you meet their requirements:
https://eshop.ramint.gov.au/latest-news-with-desc.aspx?NewsID=105
Do you think they will want to hear what you all have to say?
ask what's in it for me, NOTHING
We can all have a say but do they care?
They have a Facebook page and only respond to dumb questions never reply to real questions
Joined and logged in to SYC. So far the most riveting discussion topic is can we get RAM's MINT Issue quarterly magazine/catalog on Android. Pretty lame.
Looks like someone at the RAM needs to justify their job.
I have also signed up just now.
I wonder if they can handle hearing the truth instead of just listening to boot lickers :diablo: :)

QuoteDear Valued Collector,
The Royal Australian Mint's online community "Shaping Your Collection" (SYC) is live. We've experienced a surge of unexpected interest in SYC and would like to thank everyone who has shown interest and completed the eligibility survey.
We'd like to ask those who are joining the community for their patience as it goes live today. While we don't anticipate any issues we know that sometimes the unexpected happens. Our ICT teams are ready to react if there's any problem, but again we'd like to ask for your patience.
Those collectors who are ready to join our SYC community can do so by following this link and registering.

I think the invites came from the RAM due to the recent purchases by people , Not snobby more like "Lame".

I just read this on the site;
QuoteSome housekeeping; to begin with, the site will be moderated Monday to Friday during regular business hours. You will be informed of any holiday "shut downs" in advance and we will make every effort to resume normal conversations as soon as we are back on deck.
Looks like open slather from 1700- 0900 unless of course it is a holiday :diablo::laugh2:
I've put two blogs up both have been held for approval but neither has seen the light of day.
Guess they didn't like what I said wasn't rude crude or nasty just asked some questions & put forth a couple of ideas.
Oh well.
Maybe I should have said I like the ABC series, that would have got me a gig.
