Hi Everybody!

A few days ago me and a good friend of mine launched our first Kickstarter, Tusenö Watches.

We have now, in less than 48 hours reached 40% backing which is super exciting!

Just wanted to get some input from you guys, what do you think of our campaign?

It feels like now when we soon go into our third day, pledges might slow down. How do we do to keep them coming?

All tips will be appreciated!

Here is our Kickstarter:

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Who did you contact to get so popular? I saw the Press section on your page, looks like you need a few more mentions from different outlets.

I think the watches look great, the description is detailed, the tiers are just right and the photos look nice.

I would of liked to of seen stripey watch straps, I saw this in another campaign and it looked really good.

Good luck with it!

Hi,

Most of the first backers came from the work we've done on social media for a long time before going live on KS.
As you say, we do need a lot more coverage in the press and we are working hard on trying to figure out how to do that.
We have sent tons of emails to large american blogs and website but the reply has been poor.

Any tips on how to wake interest?

Most of those who have answered want money in return for a post, we just can't afford that at the moment..

What is a stripey watch strap? Sorry to say I have never heard of it.

Thanks for your words!

The stripey watch strap like red vertical lines with blue and white too....looked great.

To gage interest you should know who to contact...sorry it's a simple answer but you probably need to get someone to target specific blogs and exactly who you should be contacting rather than using the Contact Us page on blogs/sites which will result in low interest.

Unfortunately people's thinking is "what is in it for me". So they'd want something back from you, either a product, something exclusive or payment for an advert...which could work out for you.

Not sure if my gifts site can help out, as we offer paid solutions.
