[QUOTE=joelshitshow;59197]A better user experience, including apps and boards. What if the reason for shitty apps and boards was not gross incompetence and greed, but a lack of budget? Like I said, devil's advocate.
And they may not be able to make the business case on their own for why better tools make for more money long term. It isn't why they all have the jobs they do. The LVA website could use a redesign, too. We're all good at different things.
Anyway, app design is something they would farm out, and that would be expensive. They would probably only be able to "afford" it by borrowing money and paying it back with higher juice. Maybe -112 with the app (because there is no change) but still -110 at the counter. Would people pay for the convenience? Even if not, the margin is still higher for books if a -110 ticket is booked via an app instead of a writer. But I am sure they would still increase the juice as a "convenience fee."[/QUOTE]
The first step many books could do is slash the payroll budget of some of these clowns running and advising these books and replacing them individuals that are 2x more competent and would work for a smaller salary.
Secondly, having adequate boards would not cost that much, hell, go back to the INK boards and pay individual(s) $11.50 an hour to keep it updated.
