How Good Todo helps a bookseller

Bookseller William Smith writes (in this post) about how he relies on Good Todo, the online todo list I created, to help him sell books:

The feature that I find particularly useful as a bookseller (and one that I believe is unique to Goodtodo) is the ability to forward emails to a particular date.

So say for instance I tell a customer that I'll hold a book for 2 weeks; instead of staring at that email every day--and trying to remember why I kept it--I can just forward it to Goodtodo dated for the day I want to end the hold (ex, Forward to: march25@goodtodo.com - Subject Line: "End hold on Baptism in Shame").

Voila! Unsightly email is gone until I NEED to think about it. It's also great for tracking booksales, bill payments, customer appointments and the like. When you have any todo items scheduled for a particular day, Goodtodo will email you a list on the morning.

I'll note that he manages to sell plenty of books and keep up an interesting blog, Hang Fire Books. (And for full disclosure, Will is a friend who I don't mind trouncing in the fine games of Pandemic and Cornhole.)

Try out Good Todo, the online todo list.
