    Is there anything I can do here? (18 days)

    by an439 » Wed Mar 12, 2014 1:44 am

    Hi everyone,

    I really like this forum, especially all the research it provides to creators (only wish I found it earlier!)

    I'm here to ask on your opinions about what I can do to make this project successful. I want it to succeed because I love wearing the prototypes, and want more of them for myself and others.

    -What is it: a necktie with discreet pockets on the back.
    -Pros: become memorable on an interview, prevent back pains caused by wallets, better for environment than leather, and keeps your valuables more secure.
    -Potential Cons: people are afraid it might weigh too much, but if you look at the few credit cards and cash you carry, they only weigh about 1 ice cube. (not sure if I should make this a bolder statement)
    -What I've done so far: let all my facebook friends know, my family, blogger and news outlets (~200), and have gotten a couple of articles out and a few more to come. Finally I plan to launch 3 short videos next week that illustrate benefits of ties in situations such a bar, robbery, and romantic experience
    -Why I think I am not getting the views/pledges I need: most of my friends are broke, and I have not established a good following pre relaunch.

    What do you think I can do next? (I really would rather not relaunch for the third time as it feels quite hopeless).

    MANUAL: type in REVO necktie

    Thanks,
    Arsen
    P.S. I've created a special page to make it easy to share this project with just 3 clicks!! eximiumexchange.com/ksshare.html

    Hello,

    Do you have a link to the kickstarter page please?

    I'd say that building a following before launching is one of the more important things for a campaign. You might find more success in a relaunch with a bigger fan base.

    The relaunch would be plausible I think, I first made a good campaign, then on relaunch I've worked on advertising, and now finally on 3rd relaunch I would work on building a community. My only concern is to keep putting in time into something that is simply too niche of a product.

    I agree... I know in retrospect it doesn't help much, but I wish I had done more pre-launch work before launching my second campaign.

    Think I myself will be also doing a relaunch.
