The team and I have gone about getting users onboard by communicating all of the information about the site.
We've developed tutorials.
We've also utilized all of the great assets Widen provides us with the videos.
I've been provided with manuals that we filter through to all of the global teams so they can feel really, really comfortable with utilizing the site.
Widen has been such a good support mechanism for us in that process.
Even our other sites, we use the link to Widen to get all the information everyone needs
needs to produce materials and plus, just get product information.
It's also a big sales representative type of thing, I mean we have a large sales force and they need
even if it's something as small as a sell sheet or whatever, they have the link to that and they go directly to Widen to download multiple of what they need.
I think like any company, especially with our sales force, they're very used to doing the same thing the same way,
even when we're expanding digitally and times are changing, our products are changing,
that I had somebody in our other department in our other secondary building who was looking for assets to create a giant photo wall.
And he wanted to just come through and look at old books of photography, say contact sheets, etc.
And I you know, I definitely started off by directing him to the site and I was like you know,
I know you don't have a login, but if you login and just you know, create your account, we're gonna approve you and get you on your way.
And at first he was just like no, I wanna dig, I wanna dig through these books
you know, he was under that older mentality that I'm gonna look at contact sheets.
No, you can go to Widen and create like a contact sheet in five seconds of all the assets we have as a whole.
So yeah, there was definitely a back and forth, some emails were exchanged, but then he--I definitely got him to buy in to this is what you should be using in the future.
It's a better support tool for you and that's what I told him. And he, he got it, it just took a bit.
So you do have to kind of herd them in the right direction by providing them tools, as I said, like even a quick training,
like how to get into the site and just a few clicks and you're there. Even providing him with that was super helpful.
We got more buy-in that way globally and internally.
