Hi, thanks for reaching out. I wanted to give you a little feedback on your campaign.

First, for sure you'll be successful, you'll break through your goal and beyond. But there is some confusion on your page. First, on your video...the text (before I play) says MINIATURE WARGAMING in large clear letters, then THE MOVIE below in thin hard to read text. at first glance, I thought you were selling small war pieces...no joke.

Second, your 135 character line is also not clear..."Following Players, Painters & Even Model Makers. Dive into the amazing world of Miniature Wargaming. Limited edition miniature created." What does "Limited edition miniature created" mean? maybe remove it

Rewards: A no-brainer reward would be to sell some of the miniatures that people give you at some point (if they do) or that you use as part of the movie...these limited edition items come from the movie creators with a signed certificate or note. Sell for > $100. In fact, I suggest getting the people in the video to donate some figures...a few from each...and sell those. The miniature creators understand what you are doing and that you need to raise money...I'm sure they'd be happy to give you stuff to sell...and it would sell well!

Video: not that you'll change it now but the blue ink dropping into the glass for the first 17 seconds is a waste. You have 10 seconds to grab my attention...I'm kinda bored watching that flask. Listing all your rewards on screen and talking about them...it's ok, but a bit redundant. Rest of the video I liked

Cheers

Greg

BTW, I haven't backed projects in a while, I give feedback these days. However, I'm happy to give a shout out (17k twitter followers). But I would ask if you wouldn't mind doing something similar by signing up for my Thunderclap as my project launches on Tuesday 17th. Here's my thunderclap:

thank you...I'll head over to twitter now

Wow! Thanks so much for replying so soon, I'm glad you liked the video, I do understand what you're saying about the ink drop. Any shout out you can do will be more than appreciated!

Thanks so much for your support!

Hi Rufflesss,

Since a while, I give shout outs and do campaign page reviews in exchange for supporting my Thunderclap campaign. Are you ok with this? In case you don't know Thunderclap, it is essentially a social media schedule that posts 1-time on your twitter or FB page on the date my campaign goes live

Cheers....and happy to help

Hey Greg, yes I wouldn't mind to have my campaign reviewed by you. Any insights would be helpful to me!

Hi Raphael,

1) Video: I like it, music is good, scenes flow quickly, informative. I have technical questions which I assume would be answered lower on your page such as how much volume of liquid it holds, how long to heat up, how long does battery last, how long to charge up, what kind of battery, etc ...and of course, they are right after which is good

2) Page: I like the use of graphics for all aspects of the product. Not much negative though you could've put your 'team' at the bottom. So you page, and your engineering, look strong

3) outreach: this is where you are weak. After I don't know how many days, you have 8 backers. This tells me you did not prep backers ahead of time (friends, family). You also should reach out to tons of groups and communities. For example, outdoor gear folk, outdoor hikers and people who enjoy traveling or wilderness. Since your product works with mommy's and cyclists, you could've hit up the cyclist communities and tons of mommy blogs because it ALWAYS happens that mom's have nowhere to warm their kids milk. Then the press...how much press have you contact about this? Your message would change depending on which press. If mommy press....it is the baby angle. If outdoor magazines, then of course the filtration and lighting component

You need to get on this right away because your campaign page is good....but only 8 backers is not. You need to get to $12k with about 90 backers to really get the ball rolling and get on Kickstarter popularity pages

You can also try to change categories. I don't know which category you have chosen but you can try DESIGN (Product design) or technology (Gadgets or wearables)

Good luck

Wow, as a new Kickstarter, you have basically nailed my weaknesses in the area where I did not prep backers ahead of time where I should have done way before the campaign started. I appreciate your kind criticism and feedback on the areas where I need to improve. I will get on this right away.

P.S. The campaign started on November 11
