Hi All!

I am a first time crowdfunder, and just launched my project yesterday. We quickly raised over $5K but now are seeking advice on how to keep the ball rolling. Any suggestions or ideas on reaching a wider audience or getting PR would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Congrats!

Hey Gina,

My name is Mike and I'm in the same boat as you are. We just launched our party game Twisoticty http://kck.st/1C8Vlwo and am having trouble showing up on Kickstarter's radar. It's like how can you possibly stand out on the site anymore when it's so bogged down by established companies or flooded with rich people projects who are just trying to get richer. Indie friendly? Not so much.

Anywho, being a guy and not knowing much about dolls I gotta say your campaign looks inviting. One thing I have learned is offering a retail pledge is typically a bad idea. If they're interested they will usually contact you, especially if you have some disclaimer in your "Risks" sections. Also, the $1 dollar pledge never hurts, because it is just a fun way to show support cheaply. I'd pledge a dollar to help boost your backer count, but 10 is a little steep since so much money is being spent on ads.

Anyway, I hope some of my info is helpful. If you want to cross-promote with me through updates I would love to work closer with you.

Sincerely,
MJ Kiely

Congrats, that's impressive! I just launchd my first campaign on Monday and I'm not as far as you. It's frustrating watching it just sit there and not move as fast as you'd anticipated. Your page looks great though!

Congratulations, Gina! Love your dolls! I am stalled and trying to figure out how to get moving but think your dolls are certainly needed. Unfortunately my youngest is too old for dolls and I have grandsons who are too young for your product. I will, however, share the project with my friends who have little girls.

very well done. most campaign lull in the middle. It is hard to say why. Keep up the good work

Congratulation. That impresive and good example for other project.

I love the concept! 5k in first 24hrs is very impressive IMHO.
I would love to know how to keep the crowd coming too as I'm in the same state...
Did backerclub helped? I'm contemplating to engage them.

Wish you the best of luck!

I love the ties! Two comments. It might be better if your label was sewn to the underside of the tie in case of a white shirt. Just a thought as I am not a guy so I don't wear ties, LOL. Second isn't it against Kickstarter TOS to give part of the funding to charity? 10% of my profits will go to help single parents in my community but I left that out of my kickstarter because of the TOS.

It might be worth checking into. Other than that, your idea is awesome and the ties are beautiful. Best of luck to you!
