Do you care about your customers?
This is a feature suggestion platform for your existent and potential customers.
Imagine how they will feel if you are offering such a service to your customers who will be able to share their idea of an improvement or a new feature to your Envato items.
There’s no one and nothing better than improving your items based on customers feedback.
In the end they’re the one using your item and know their needs the best
Their idea, after admin approval (you) will be publicly available for everyone else to vote and you will decide based on that if that specific feature will be added to an item on Envato of yours or not.
Keep track of features you want added to an upgrade
Also, it helps you keep track of the features you want to include in an upgrade by keeping all ideas organized in one single place.
