    then expand on that...be specific...I like the high school angle, but give me an insight...what was it about high school? Good times with girls? Did you get bullied? Ws it the favorite time of your life?

    Those are the kinds of things that will help connect you with your audience and you can write in your campaign. Then from that, you can think of a better title..like "Hyo Symphony: My high school turmoils felt through a masterpiece of musical art"

    Not sure my reply from last night went through so I'll try again. I think your campaign page and video are good, especially like the campaign page graphics and background music in your video. All your elements seem good though the big question is outreach. Did you prep or are you prepping PR and media outreach? What about non-media (the general public)?

    ON your campaign page, your "Share with Friends" FB button midway down your page only links to your own Kickstarter page...FYI

    Sure, I'll give a shoutout to my followers.. A few comments for you:
    1) I don't know when your campaign started but looks like you are off and running. nearly 40% of the way...that's great if only a few days....not as good if already 2 weeks

    2) video: good that it is short, under 2 minutes...but there was a lot of wasted video of boats, fields and sunsets, and nothing with the founders in there. In case you guys are not successful this time, I would redo things and adjust the video more like your competitors (not that you want to hear that) found here: http://kck.st/1iahqI5

    However, I like in the video all the scenes that have watches, whether close-ups near the boat or in the laboratory when video is accelerated.

    3) First page of your campaign page is a full page of text. Generally not the best idea...either limit the text or combine with graphics. Remember that you want to put the most important and captivating stuff up top

    4) Your pledge summary should show % savings on each, and use the word "limit" so it is obvious that the numbers mean you are limiting the price

    5) stretch goals is all text, suggest graphics

    6) Social media section: don't understand this section, nothing is clickable

    best of luck, stay the course!!

    Big thanks for all your input Greg!

    We actually launched like 28 hours ago :)

    The links (social media) are fixed, thanks, stupid mistake.

    You are right about that the amount of text in the begging is a bit overwhelming, will look into this and the other things as well.

    Really great ideas and input, thanks!

    Big thanks for the shoutout as well!

    Thanks Greg, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks for the compliments. We are adding a few new elements to the page design and simplifying it this weekend, I agree our page is good, but we were getting very low conversion rates via facebook ads, so there is always room for improvement. We're aiming for media outreach and email lists now. Hoping to hear back from some of the bigger men's fashion, watch, and general high traffic blogs. We've sent out some samples for review and we've gotten positive feedback so far. Most of the funding so far comes from our prelaunch giveaway contest used to build our email list. We're getting ridiculously high quotes on email blasts though, like $2k for 80k clients list from men's style/fashion blogs and youtube stars. Any idea where to buy email blasts for a decent rate? Facebook ads are not giving us the return we're looking for.
