I was just notified of this website this morning:

http://www.johnedwardproduct.com

It's apparently an "official" site for John. Check it out, what do you think? :)

Uh oh.

I thought maybe they were trying to respond to some of their visitor's "suggestions for improvement".

Only one way to find out how good it is...

I volunteer to order Bridges from them, and we'll see how they match up to that other (vanished into thin air) order. I've been meaning to do it anyhow.

I'll keep you posted on such things as: How easy it was to order How fast the order was processed How soon I get results

Tammy
doing my part :D

Later: There was a problem with their security certificate that showed up. Problems: The name on the certificate does not match the website name. The site glitched out and locked up on me the first time i tried to purchase. When I came back the site said "under construction" come back later When I did get in and accept that the security issue was ok (everything else was fine with the certificate) I had no problems ordering.

ok, I clicked around and it seems to me that it is just an additional page on the johnedward.net page......they've just updated the regular page and added a catalog to directly purchase his books and tapes. I don't think it's a new "official" page.

OK, I got in. Do you know why he added this? Could you not order these products from his website before? Maybe it's supposed to be easier to use???? :shrug:

The site was alright. Pretty normal for that sort of thing. Where did they have a comments page before? I don't know why, but I seem to not be able to find things as readily as others do. I promise I am not THAT stupid!! :)

Take care!

As far as online stores go, I'd say it rates up there pretty well, and they did need an improvement over what they had. However, it'll take some getting used to. We're all kind of spoiled here with no advertisements whatsoever. But then again everyone needs to pay the bills somehow.

Whatever. at least it's a catchy dotcom phrase ...

johnedward product.

Maybe the search engines will send people there before they slip into some dark cyber place taking advantage of the name.

BTW, I received my rose pin back in the mail already from Huntington, so that's less than ten days via USPS (in spite of - or because of?? coping with anthrax threats). So his office staff there must be sharp - good customer service via mail.

Somebody said it before regarding the SNL skit - JE's getting into the big time.... I guess his web-store is following suit.

*meow* kittens! :jester:

I probably should have told you in my first post, but it was really nice of them to send me the link, keeping me "in the loop" - but I invited them here to see the "feedback" on the site. ("them" being the nice person who either created that site, or works for that company.) They were very complimentary about my site jef.org.

I don't know if they will come here - and I'd want you all to be honest, but please don't think you're hurting my feelings if you have nice things to say about it :)

I need John's site to surpass this one so I can retire to mommyhood ;)

I liked the layout, and I was hoping this would speed up their order processing capabilities, because I had heard someone else say something to the effect that actually getting the product was slow.

I don't want to sound like a downer but I am a little curious about one thing. I know there are several things on this site you can only get through JE's directly ie. the pin and newsletter. However I am a little confused about the price of the 6 audio tape set on Developing your abilities which on the catalog sells for 54.95 if you have a newsletter membership. 59.95 if you do not. On Amazon you can buy it for 41.96. So I don't know but I would rather save the 12.99 and buy another book I have on my list. :reader: Maybe it's just me but that is the way I shop. Maybe he gets more of the profit if they are bought off his website and not from amazon in which case I could see it. Just my opinion. Can't blame me for wanting to save a little money. Hey but overall the site is good, the navigation is bit awkward however and it takes a while to get to looking at the products available. That would be my only suggestion for improvement overall.

i thought it was an ok site, here in the UK! we feel a little deprived sometimes of anything john is doing, all we have is you guy's (who we love so much), and the Crossing Over programmes that we get here(even if they are repeats) so anything we find or see is a welcome, and if it means getting Johns stuff! quicker or easier, im all for it.

I suspect they're separating it from the main site to increase security. Except for the broken "Home" link, it seems to work just fine.

Just a little note on the "old" ordering process. A friend of mine ordered the 6 tape set, the newsletter and something else for her sister as a gift (through the old online order process). As of today her sister has not received any of these items. She ordered them 6 months ago.

Maybe this new page will help eliminate problems like this. Although I did give her a number to call and they were very very very apologetic and helpful and the problem is being fixed as we speak!

Going to check out that link now! :-)

You know, with all the questions we've seen over the course of time re: the money John "makes" off (select all that apply)
1) innocent people that are grieving 2) people that need to believe in psychic stuff 3) other...

this kind of thing will do nothing to ease those concerns. Why does he have to do all this product marketing anyway? Why not just put the appropriate stuff out there and let it sell itself? Maybe people are asking for it? But frankly, I'd like better odds at having a 1 on 1 with him in the future. And because he's so busy with many other things, the chances of my having what I REALLY want are slim to none.

Taking his talents into a more commercial venue is tacky and tasteless. I know he wrote books and if I want them, I'll buy them (Thanks, John. I have them all). The newsletter? I think it's expensive. The rose pins are beautiful, but have people send the 5 bucks as a donation to John's favorite charity or something like that.

I don't know. I will probably opt NOT to buy anything from that site. I'd rather buy it from this site :) where Amazon gives some of the money to the fight for breast CA. With or without John's endorsement, he will be held accountable for the direction these commercial products take him.

Because he has a positive, healing message to deliver, to as many people as need to hear it, (which is most of us.) Because of the age and times we live in, as a decidedly capitalist culture, the necessary evil of doing so means it costs money to make the books/tapes/newsletters, and costs money to ship them. Yes, you can buy all the products (but the newsletter) cheaper at Amazon, but Amazon is not for everyone. Maybe he's just providing a service?


Why not just put the appropriate stuff out there and let it sell itself? Maybe people are asking for it?

That's what he did before - he had these same products on his website, now they're just arranged differently, with some different graphics. The behind the scenes nuts and bolts of the shopping cart, credit card processing looks changed too.



But frankly, I'd like better odds at having a 1 on 1 with him in the future. And because he's so busy with many other things, the chances of my having what I REALLY want are slim to none.

Now you've lost me -are you saying that theres a connection with him selling products at his website, and your odds of getting a reading?

Ouch! Why not tell us how you really feel Kate? ;) Just teasing of course, as we want nothing but 100% honesty here. I'm sure if anyone from John's staff were reading, they'd take it as useful feedback.

As I pointed out before, there's nothing really new at the site, IMO, it doesn't seem to be a "more commercial venue", unless it's the name in the URL, "products". And with regard to charity - we can't say that we know whether or not John gives to charity, in the same or less or more proporation than Amazon does.

Well I certainly appreciate any Amazon book sales from this or the other site, and so would all other members, as that's what keeps this board ad-free, and just "free" in general. As I state in the policy, if there's any excess (wouldn't that be nice!) it will go the Breast Cancer Foundation and the American Lung Association.

Here's a question - do you think that selling his products at seminars is any different than selling them from his website?

I think you hit the nail on the head there, Pam. I'm not clear on why they need a seperate domain name "JohnEdwardProducts". It has an uncomfortable ring to it, like a site you go to to get Crossing over T-shirts, refrigerator magnets, snow globes, etc.

What was wrong with just keeping the link for buying his books and tapes within his original website?

I just dislike the idea of someone doing a web search for John Edward and finding a site called "John Edward Products".

10-23-2001, 11:25 PM
OK Pam, you inadvertantly answered a question I had about the site certificate. The name on the certificate does not match the website name ( JE Products ); it probably says JE.net

I actually LIKE the site, but it would be better w/o the current little glitches, i mentioned above. I put the comments there because I thought maybe you could get word to them that this was happening.


Prior to the updated page
The site was not up to date, and there were problems. I appreciate that they care enough to try to rectify those former site problems! I was not the only one who had difficulty ordering things from JE.net prior to the updated product page. If everything goes well the next issue of Bridges will be on my doorstep.

Another two cents...

I am webmaster for the radio station I work for as well as being on the air and that was the first thing that struck me. I like to new site. I thought the USA Studio page in flash was pretty cool!

I apologize if my previous remarks seemed somewhat harsh or overzealous. For those visitors that may not know this, I am a strong supporter of John Edward. I watch his TV show every day, I have attended a couple of his seminars and have bought his books and tapes. I love this guy and I believe he has offered me a unique perspective to the field of metaphysics which, up to this point, has been a little "out there". To me the whole psychic thing, due to my lack of knowledge, has been elusive and kind of threatening. But John Edward, with his casual approach and wonderful personality and sense of humor has taught me that it's nothing I have to be afraid of. In fact, it has something to offer all of us, if we know where to look. And John has taught me that all I have to do is look around at the people I love and CAV them every day (so that a medium like him doesn't have to do it for me).

That being said, if I could take one more opportunity to try and clarify my previous remarks. My concern is that in this day and age, it's easy for the commercial aspects of anyone's business to take the front seat. As a "business" grows larger and larger, with more people becoming involved in the actual management, the perception to those on the outside can change. It becomes easier for others to misinterpret the goals and objectives of the business. This is particularly true in the many areas of "Client Service".

How long have many of us in this community been trying to defend John Edward when it comes to the questions about how he "makes money" off of people that have suffered loss? John himself felt the need to address that very issue in his last book. And I thought he did it with grace and honesty. His new website, JohnEdwardproducts.com (complete with shopping cart) makes this question more difficult to defend to people who haven't yet taken the time to become familiar with the "message" that John is working so hard to convey.

It is very possible for the REAL message to get lost or ignored when the consumer is presented with all these different options of "stuff" to buy. I'm sure the true intentions behind the development of this higher tech method of product delivery is to better serve those that want higher quality service. But I don't think everyone who visits that site for the first time will get it.

On the other site, product purchase was just one option. I could also review John's biography and get updates on his other activities. Product marketing wasn't "up in my face". If I didn't already have my opinions about John and his work, I would look at JohnEdwardProducts.com now and question his motives. As a newcomer, I'd want to know how to get access to this gifted person and his services in this specialized field. How do I get to sit down with him and determine if there are messages for me from loved ones I've lost?

At this point in his business, John is far from readily accessible. And I'm very happy for his success. My investing the time to watch his program and read his books has given me a clearer understanding of what he's all about. But, especially to a new comer, purchasing John Edward products is no substitute for a message from someone on the other side. And my overall concern regarding the new website is that new people who want to learn more about JE will percieve the message that even though they might not ever get direct access to John, they can alway buy his products. I just don't think that's the message John wants to convey.

I know John believes he is on the right path and that his success is part of the universal plan he was destined to follow. But I sometimes wonder if he looks at all this and wishes for "the good old days" (not that long ago) when he planned his own seminars for 100-200 people at a Holiday Inn and had more time to reach out 1 on 1 to people he knew really needed him.

You know, the set on Amazon.com is used, not new, and that's why it's cheaper. It's being auctioned. There is no guarantee it's still even available (I have a friend who works for Amazon, and that's what she told me.)

I think John's new site looks more professional. I'm a little surprised that there are people who seem to expect John to be somehow more than human. There seem to be folks who first think he is somehow divine in some way, then people complain that he ought to be donating his income to charity. He's just a person who has an unusually well developed psychic ability and the drive and sense of mission to offer his ability to as many people as possible.

This is just my opinion, but I have no problem with his earning decent money for what he does. He works very hard and deserves to be paid for his time, effort and talent. Do people complain that a grief counselor is making money off people's grief?

Anyway, if he wanted to make even more money, he wouldn't keep telling everybody that they don't need him, and can contact their relatives by themselves. (Which I believe to be true, since I have done so.)

Just my two cents.

The 41.96 on Amazon is for the 6 tape set - brand new, not used. Amazon can sell it for less, because of the volume discounts they get. John's staff is much smaller than Amazon's, his costs are higher to package, invoice, and ship, and he must pass that cost on to the buyer.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1561707627/ref=ase_friendsofjohnedw/104-3309091-3675920

I also don't want to hold John back from any kind of abundance, be it spiritual, emotional or monitary. Money is just a tool. I figure the more money he and his company Get Psych'd makes, the more tools that will be at his disposal to reach the world with the message of hope, love, comfort and peace.

But I'm hoping that the changes we're seeing on his site is just one phase of others to come. The internet is a powerful communication tool that can reach millions of people. A website can be truly interactive, making the visitor feel like they're the focus of the website. Let's watch and see what other changes come down the road.

>>The 41.96 on Amazon is for the 6 tape set - brand new, not used.

So it is. I should have checked the site before I posted. When I last looked for his tapes on Amazon a month or so ago, a used set was being auctioned for that price by a private owner. I guess they decided to start selling it new again -- good!

I just hope it's not another incident like the infomercial that John talks about in his book, Crossing Over, where people more attuned to commercial enterprises are making the decisions about what the public really wants.

Spiritfinder
10-24-2001, 12:49 PM
I didn't mean to start a huge debate over the cost. It was just something I noticed right away after visiting the sight. I am more comfortable buying from amazon simply because I have done it before plus none of the other local bookstores carries this set. Believe me I have looked, I am poor at waiting and like the instant gratification I get from buying it localy. Plus unlike some I live in WA so I pay sales tax & shipping in the long run. But they have things reg. stores do not.
As for not taking away from JE. Well, I think he would even understand that a mother of 3 needs to save money where ever she can especially when I am buying "me" stuff. If they didn't want you to buy it anywhere but from there website you wouldn't even find it on amazon, I think they are just providing a service to loyal fans such as us who like the idea of ording directly from him. Not all of his products are available from Jodere Group either. I suppose in the long run the benefits of what you get out of these things is more important.

I do agree with the newsletter being a bit pricey. However my judgement of that comes without some information. I am a manager of a good sized printing company and perhaps if I knew a little bit more about the content of the newsletter I could decide if the cost is more just than it looks. Maybe someone who actually gets this newsletter could fill me in. E-mail me or post here and I will tell you what I need to know. If anyone is interested in how newsletters and there overall cost is decided. I print many and some are more complicated than others and time it takes to produce them. As is so often said in this day and age, time is money! That goes along with the other theme, which is John has to pay bills too :D just like the rest of us.
Best always,
Tanya

I'm not sensing any "huge debate" over cost, it's a pertinant question. :)

About the newsletter, there are "testimonials" here (http://www.johnedwardtalk.org/showthread.php?threadid=89&highlight=newsletter) and my own, here (http://www.johnedwardtalk.org/showthread.php?threadid=451&highlight=newsletter) and I repeat, I think it's worth every penney.

10-24-2001, 08:16 PM
I'm sorry, friends, for jumping in here again. But with the hope that this feedback will be reviewed by folks from the JE organization, I'd just like to add a couple more things.

The JohnEdwardproducts.com site has raised a lot of red flags for me. I realize that John has had to delegate much of the day to day operation to others. But, as the top person in his group, he is ultimately responsible for the decisions made regarding how his time and energy are used, and what he and his group are putting out there for people to see. Conclusions people draw from what they see are about John Edward, not about his organization.

I have browsed through sites from other people in the same field. They all have an option for the visitor to view and purchase products. But this is NOT the first thing the viewer takes in. I was impressed by a comment I read about the importance of the visitor feeling like they are participants in the process. I believe it's also important that person who "Is" the site, makes their presence known by providing occasional input in the form of comments or responses to outstanding questions. I don't feel John's site addresses those needs. It's hard to imagine, with the way it's set up, that he even makes an occassional visit (with the exception of 9/11 comments).

There are many things that would be nice to see on a site from someone in John's line of work (most of the other sites have them, btw). Look at the resources we've pooled together here...book lists with links, referrals for bereavement, hospice and other services, prayer requests. Lots of really meaningful information. All that plus the best opportunities ever to share and discuss questions and concerns.

To be fair, some of this information is addressed if you buy his newsletter. But with the internet services reaching millions, there is a real opportunity here to spread the word to people who need it and who might not be in the position of having access to it any other way. I, of course, believe that one should be paid for services rendered. That's not my point. But what I am saying is that during this time of organizational growth, John Edward will continue to remain under much scrutiny. Perception of his work by those on the outside has to be TOP priority. The last thing John would want is something that would undermine the progress he's made to establish credibility of his work and others in his field.

I can only hope that, during this time of growth and expansion, John will figure out some way to stay connected to his supporters as opposed to taking steps that seem to be putting more distance in between us. John needs to continue to communicate, appreciate and validate those of us that have participated in his success and are a major contributors to bringing him closer to his reaching his life goals.

OK, I think I'm done (but I won't make any promises).

Personally, I like the look of the new website overall, and it's about time I would say, it got a new look.

to me the catalog page is a nice way of showing all the groovy stuff john has made, who, not only is a psychic medium but also an author and a fabulous teacher, which is just as important as getting his message out as the tv show, the seminars, and the private readings. we in the us are lucky to have access to the seminars, tv show and at least a somewhat better chance of getting a reading than someone living elsewhere. what else have they got but the literature and the tapes.

I paid $60 for the six tape set at a new age bookstore, that is the standard retail price, even before john was well known.

I don't see anything wrong with better organizing and showcasing his materials on his own website. they are quality products and deserve a place of their own to show off. If JE were an artist or a musician, (whose time is usually spent out in the world doing their work, like john's is as opposed to overseeing and designing websites to talk about it) or maybe anything but a psychic medium, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

maybe john isn't afraid to showcase his work because he's proud of it, and isn't afraid of what people would say who might think his priorites have changed by having a catalog page, because he knows they haven't. John has never been one to feel he needs to defend himself from those who question his motivations, and I would hate to see him start doing that to undermine his own conviction that that would indicate that there is something to defend.

to me the top priority is and always has been to get the message out to those who need it, which is pretty much everyone on the planet. someone out net shopping in uganda might not have ever heard of JE might stumble on that page from that direction. what difference does it make which door they came in.

and just one thing on the reduced tape price for existing newsletter subscribers. while some cynical minds might see that as a ploy to get someone to subscribe to the newsletter to get the tapes cheaper, i see it as a way of giving those who have ALREADY been getting the newsletter a break on the price of the tapes. a nice gesture actually.

I don't really see how john is taking steps to distance himself from his supporters? john is in demand no question about it, and the result of that is that only a fraction of those who would like a private reading with him will get one. there is nothing special about us, just cause we spend a lot of time chatting about him. he doesn't owe us anything more than he can give, and in my book, he's already given us the best gift we could expect.....awareness of what's really important. that it's enough that this phenomena is happening in our lifetime, that millions of us can see EVIDENCE everyday on our tv that the soul lives on, love never dies, and that we are all connected in spirit. let's not lose sight of that.

I think that the site is very informational and am glad that they have the info there to browse through. The only thing missing is a fresh hello from John. Ya know maybe a daily message or something. This site takes care of the community side of things.

Cant wait for the stuff to come!!!

I feel I should add one thing to this that I noticed, his main site Johnedward.net remians the same site we are used to with links and information pretty much as always. I didn't even see a link from there to this new one we are discussing yet. Maybe this was a preview of what will be I don't know, maybe Pam has more insight here?? I get the feeling that maybe our input could be looked a little more closely than we are giving the Get Psyched crew credit for. Just a thought. Oh, and perhaps I just didn't look hard enouph for the link. Does anyone know of one that I have missed from perussing the sight today?

Warm Wishes,
With Love and Light,

Oops, my bookmark is out of date clearly. If you just type johnedward.net you get the front page with his photo, click that and it takes you into the new site. But, as I looked around I saw what seems to be the natural progression of his website that would go along with the new broader audience into sindication. People are seeing him for the first time that never even knew he existed. The idea is to let these people know that he has more material to offer those who might be interested from seeing the show on something other than "cable". As many have already said the goal is and was to "get" the message out there to the whole world. :)

Well, personally, I like the new look. And I don't have a problem at all with John selling his products on his site. It's not like he's selling everything anybody ever wrote, it's just his stuff that he's making available to people. There's no hard sell, bright colored, flashy "you have to have it and you have to get it here or else" quality. I think it is extremely quiet and very tasteful. Besides, where else would I have been able to get the pink rose pins from? They don't seem to have those available anywhere else and I surely couldn't have gone to one of the seminars just to buy them because my back couldn't take it right now.

I have a couple of people in my family who have the most difficult time with their e-mail programs. They rely on the rest of us to send them the URL's of the things we want them to see. They would never be adventurous enough to actually think about using a search engine to find something they want cheaper somewhere else. Heck, they don't even do that in stores they just buy what they want and go home. Those types of people definately need to be able to see John's products available at John's site.

Just my opinion.

I like the emphasis on Secure. I've had trouble with my credit card and suppliers of goods before, so for me, a secure site for ordering is, well, yes, a necessity. I'm a happy camper seeing this.

To me, it seemed as though it was "thrown together" without a lot of thought. As a consumer it lacked glitz and glamour, but then hey, when it's John's site... he is the glitz and glamour!

I just had a chance to view the John Edward "store" and I must say that viewing this commercial site on the heels of (the now cancelled) 9/11 victims show...during sweeps month...has left me with a very uneasy feeling. Does anyone else feel that the whole "package" seems tacky?
