    Votsh Waves on Kickstarter

    by fcohen » Sun Oct 05, 2014 11:16 pm

    Hi Forumistas!

    I launched the Votsh Waves project on Kickstarter last Wednesday. http://bit.ly/waveskickstarter. We have 14 backers and are approximately 12% of the way to the project goal, with 3 1/2 weeks remaining.

    The initial backers are people I know. I focused our marketing on reaching my contact list and it has paid off so far. I have an additional 2 mailings and Facebook message outreach campaigns scheduled for the this week. Next week we focus outreach on bloggers and media companies (CNet, Engadget, etc.)

    I paid for Facebook advertising through these organizations: https://marketyourcrowdfunding.com ($100), http://getmecrowdfunded.com ($650), http://www.crowdfundingpr.org ($159). We also spent $600 on Facebook advertising which net us approximately 2500 "likes" with reach to 2,700 people. I will update this posting mid-week with results.

    I am posting our press release (http://www.votsh.com/press) on Monday using PRWeb ($370).

    Charles Mosteller from this forum gave me immediate feedback on our project image and positioning: "Your project image is terrible, but your project video is good". I made changes the same day. Thank you Charles!

    Please tell your friends about Votsh, I could use every bit of your help. Thanks!

    Really impressed. Great campaign, and great video! My only feedback is seems like you spent a lot for likes, as a proportion of what you're raising (nearly 10%).

    I would love to buy one, but don't know what I'd do with the filters without the WAVE and can't afford it on a student's budget! But I'm sure you'll do well with this, great campaign! Again, really impressed.

    Just wanted to comment and tell you that the idea seems pretty cool. I used to have a lava lamp when I was younger too and I like the spin that you put on it. Im excited to see how the project continues and please keep updating on your project!
