Thanks for the shout-out to my store! This past year, I had been churning out BOOM decks by the dozens! My sales are way down, too. Hopefully, some of it is the summer doldrums and not a permanent downturn. As a Premier Publisher, I do feel pressure to add the accessiblity features. I have been trying to do 3-4 decks per day, at the expense of creating any new products or even marketing old ones. I've gotten through about 75 of my 194 BOOM decks so far! I never even considered publishing decks only on BOOM and not on TpT (I didn't know you could do that). So all, my decks are on both platforms. Maybe something to reconsider?
Thank you again for your information. It is crazy this thing . I opened my store in January in boom only just to start and I’m glad I did it like that. I was able to update my decks with the accessibility most of them has the two but a few the three icons . The drag and drop are not, they said they will try t come up with something to make them friendly and accessible. My sales this month took a dive and went to 0 . I thought that by having them ready will help but no sales . I only have them at boom
Hi Ana, the drop and drag needs to be resolved soon (I hope). Most sellers I talk to are having terrible sales right now. Boom is having similar issues that TPT has had with school districts. Some districts are not allowing Boom decks now - crazy!
Hello LoriAnn I ha ve few questions… 1. So if I don’t want to I don’t need to include the accessibility features and my decks will not be removed? 2. Do you think not having accessibility features will affect sales? 3. Can you explain how the custom product is works? 4. What do I need to do as a seller when publishing a new deck on TpT? Thank you so much for your informative videos
Hi Victoria, decks won’t be removed but supposedly they will not rank in search. Boom’s sales are down overall so it’s hard to say if not not having accessibility tools will affect sales. I think sellers will need to market their Boom cards better to get sales, bc Boom is doing little to promote. #3 When you get a sale on TPT, you will see a product number over on Boom. You take that number and add it to your deck, under «play ». Selling on TPT remains the same. The buyer will need to input a code on their end.
The thing is, my decks are drag and drop, if u have to listen to a word and create it with letters, then audio is out. Can a visually impaired person see all the deck. Confused. Does a screen reader read it for an auditory impaired person. Worried if I opt out I will be penalised in the search
Hi Amanda, drag and drop are currently an issue. After filming this, Boom said that we are click « none » for drag and drop. More updates will be coming.
