Suggestion Box
July 11, 2007 1:25 PM
We get lots of emails from you, our customers, and we thought now would be a good time to share some of the ideas we have received.
We love hearing from you all and want you to keep sending us your ideas! Many of the suggestions we have received from our readers have been incorporated into our products! Good things take time however -- sometimes way longer than we would like.
Here's the first:
I love (and lost!) my spiral planner last month. Just reordered for the coming school year but wanted to pass on my "wish list". Keep in mind that I searched to find exactly what I wanted, and still repurchased my refill...
Have the months tabbed-makes it much easier to flip back and forth-couldn't find this in school calendar year format
8x11 size--like to insert important papers/lists/schedules until I copy onto calendar-also couldn't find in school year format
month at a glance is Sun-Sat
week at a glance is Mon-Sun
keep consistent-when I transcribe from month to week I often put in wrong box because visually it's the first box or next to the spiral, etc.
These are just my thoughts! Hopefully I won't lose the next one!
To this reader I would like to say that, first of all, we are working on a flexible tab system and it will be coming soon. We get asked for tabs all the time! I want you all to know that we hear you and we will be providing the best solution we possibly can. In terms of asking for an 8 1/2 x 11 product, have you checked out our Kitchen Folio? It is a perfect complement to the momAgenda system because it gives you a place to store all your important papers and keep them safe. And, it is the size you are looking for.
Here's another letter:
Hi….I love the new kitchen folio and plan on buying it.
I have sent in a couple of ideas for the agenda/planner and love
that I have seen some of them happen. I have yet to purchase one
simply because without the month at a view and other sections with no
side tabs it seems like I am flipping the pages forever to find the section
I am looking for. I LOVE the product and am always looking at it and thumbing
through it when I am in Paper Daisy here in Cypress, TX. Please, please consider
adding tabs to the different sections….
Dear reader, there are month at a view sections! No tabs yet but as I said earlier, they are coming. Thanks for writing!

I would love for you to have planners that continue one after the other. I like the Desktop agenda, but once it ends in December I lose 6 mths. of another agenda. Maybe have one that is from Aug.2007-Dec.2008, then Jan.2009-Aug.2010. then you start the Aug. one again. Both of these would work for school years, plus I would get to use the whole agenda. Thanks for listening!

Hi! I am looking for that 'does it all' mom day planner. and I think your's is close to perfect. But some things that I have enjoyed in others (FC) and would love to see in your products -
• an address book that can hold many more contacts
• can the desk pads be sticky note backed? I am looking to be able to put them in my book and not fear it getting lost
• dividers that have pockets in the refill version to stick pages (like my hard copy of my contact list, receipts, etc )and not worry that they will get lost.
Great job on your planner. I think it will work well for my and many other mom's needs.

I loove your agenda and use it for business. Tabs and section dividers would be very helpful.

The planner you have created is just wonderful. I have three young girls and it helps me out everyday! How about adding Russian/Greek Orthodox Holidays to the planner. There seems to be almost every Holiday listed......Thank You!

I would love to see a Student Agenda. The Mom Agendas are such a clever idea and so many people I know at my college love them. But, none of us are moms yet, hehe. I think you could do very well making a Student Agenda. The appearance of the Mom Agendas are very appealing to a lot of girls my age, but many won't buy them because they say "Mom". The myAgenda is cool too, but a lot of us like the size and colors of the Mom ones. Just a suggestion because I think it would do extremely well. Every student is always looking for an agenda with such busy schedules, especially a cute one! Please, please, please consider it!

I LOVE my MomAgenda and have told EVERYONE about it -- I know at least 3 people have bought them (I even told a store in Houston they should carry them -- I was vacationing & wanted to get my SIL one)!! As soon as I got mine, I filled everything out and then I realized that the very bottom is kind of coming undone from the binding. It is not super bad but the only reason I didn't take it back is b/c I have the WHOLE thing filled out!! What will happen if it starts to fall apart?? I guess all that made me wonder if that is why the ones I had used previously were spiral bound...if you think you could do a spiral and need a tester -- I'll do it!! :o) I have 3 girlies and was running out of room for all of our activities! Thanks for a much needed, graet calendar!

I love the idea of adding tab dividers! That would be SO helpful. I almost never use my month at a glance pages, since I can't ever seem to find them! lol ;0)
I also agree with Sherre... the overlapping school year months are frustrating. I either waste 6 months at the beginning of my planner, or 6 months at the end. Offering 2 different ones would be great... maybe even just 12 months at a time (Jan - Dec & Aug - July).
I would also love for you to add a movable bookmark for the spiral versions. I've had planners before that come with a plastic transparent bookmark that can attach to the spiral binding so it doesn't fall out, but it can be moved to wherever you need it. That way I could open right up to the week I'm on without worrying about my place marker falling out.
Thanks for making such AWESOME products & for being open to our suggestions!

Just want to let you all know that we appreciate all your suggestions and that MANY of them are being considered for next year. As I have mentioned before, tabs are coming very soon...before the holidays for sure. if you sign up for the newsletter you will be the first to know when they are available for sale. Wait till you see them, they are too cute for words! It's a secret how they work but I can tell you tha you'll be able to add them to whatever version of the momAgenda you are already using.
Keep your suggestions coming!

I have the momagenda 2007-2008, which has the phone number pull out in the back, but I thought the neatest thing would be:
A insert for Business cards/appointcards in the clear protective pockets-maybe 6-8 per section? You do not already have something like this do you?

TABS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still thinking of returning it after I got it today. If I dont have tabs - i wont use it.
The idea is perfect for the kids.
As a Dr - i work in 10 offices and need to know where I am going, where the kids are going and what my husband needs to do!
Please - i dont want to return this but please have some type of retrofit with tabs. I plan on doing it my self and will certainly buy another but....gotta have tabs.
Need a to-do section
Love the internet and 800 numbers
Love the quality and colors.
JUST ADD THE TABS!!! - it would be perfect.
Bundle a kitchen folio/pads for to-do and permission slips/and a planner - all same or different colors - for one price....
too many things to look at - bundle them and save time and money.
Thanks
Kim
