Kitlinx Newsletter - Aug 27, 2021

 

BREAKING NEWS:

  • 2021 IPMS National Convention Report - We met many of you at the Nationals, but what was very surprising is how many modelers we met that did NOT know about Kitlinx! We want to change that! First we encouraged attendees to create an account. PLEASE help Kitlinx, by bringing your knowledge of our company to your local IPMS Clubs/friends and share your experience

  • Search Upgrade - Kitlinx FINALLY decided to not wait until the full system is operational "on the cloud" to upgrade its side-column searches. You should see some search-refining tools by next week! It's a first-iteration, let us know what you think

  • Customer Service - Welcome to Jalene to answer your emails starting this coming week. The phone service will be opened the following week. We will start with a 2pm-6pm MST window. Phone Customer Service will be posted as soon as available. We told her how nice Modelers can be!

The lines we brought back from Nationals are below - as of today, we still have about a couple hundred book titles we need to finish.

Search Tips:

[Kitlinx is still working on its LEFT COLUMN searches. This work will be completed as soon as "Kitlinx-on-the-clouds" is working smoothly]

Let me add some "tricks" to the POWERFUL search engine of Kitlinx (the SEARCH BOX at the TOP of the website). Below are the KEYS to search ~ 80,000 available products (63% in US, 37% in Europe)

1. Use the top box search on Homepage

2. Use several keywords separated by spaces to zero-in your search "1/48 spitfire aircraft_model" (59 kits)

3. Use the underscore "_", like armor_models or Tamiya_ or aircraft_accessor "1/48 spitfire aircraft_access" (456 accessories)

4. Use keyword "instock" to JUST search for in-stock items  

5. If you are searching for SALE items, use the keyword "~special~"

6. Don't forget the Manufacturer's link on TOP of each Product-Page. It quickly shows ALL available product from the same manufacturer

7. DO NOT use the asterisk "*"
