Invitation for Members to Beta Test New Functionality for the New Website

[Ryan Jordan]

I’m seeking a few Members right now for a very specific beta test program for our new site.

We are building out a more robust member engagement module that includes the following:

• A dedicated area for Member Trip Report
• Opportunity to Members to share their thoughts about gear, skills, tech, stories, or commentary via Member Blog Posts
• Member Gear Reviews

In a week or two, I want to open up a small group beta test, and I’m looking for each beta tester to create 3 trip reports, 1 blog post, and 3 user gear reviews. These will not be ‘test’ content – but live content that will be published when we launch the new site later this spring.

The first cohort of beta testers will then have the option to continue on with the test as we launch the code builds for the rest of the membership experience, including forums, membership account access and maintenance, online courses, and the new Gear Swap.

All testers will be upgraded to Unlimited Annual Memberships for a period of one year, if you’re not already an Unlimited Member.

If you’d like to participate in this initial test, please email me at [email protected] and include “BPL Beta Group A” in the subject line.

Thanks!
