Updating Your Swappers
Communication is KEY to a successful swap. Here are some tips:

When someone joins your swap, acknowledge their post and add them to the swap list.
Monitor your swap frequently. It is your main source of communication with your swappers. If a swapper posts a question, answer it as soon as possible. Any questions should be answered within a 72 hour period.
Close to the due date, ask your swappers to check in. If you don’t hear from someone, send them a private message as a reminder.
When you receive a swap in the mail, indicate so next to the swappers name in your swappers list. People get anxious when they don’t know if their swaps arrived or not.
When you mail the swaps back to the swappers, post to let them know.
Feel free to change the title of your thread with brief status changes.

See Post #11 for more info on updating swaps received and swap titles.
