Hello community.

My name is Vlad. I am entrepreneur, dreamer, father. I have experience in product design, sourcing, manufacturing and logistics.

Let me know if you have any questions about your campaign.

Here is a great case study for you.

At this moment I run a travel wallet campaign
http://kck.st/1bzVI9h
9 months in development, High tech equipment, over 10K invested already.
Active press release dispatch, personal circle harassment and lots of sleepless nights. 20% funded after 10 days

Project number 2. It was launched by my ex-wife. A great coin pouch to organize cash, keys and keeps your phone scratch free.

Launched in just a week from writing a copy, iPhone video and all Kickstarter bureaucracy. 150% funded in a few days, 20$ investment, ZERO PR or marketing.

Stay tuned as I will keep you posted on progress.

Thanks. I figured it http://goo.gl/WxTx1F out.

And no I did little PR actually. I am looking for Someone now that will help out.

So from the first message! Do you spend a) long going research and production for kickstarter b) think of something smart and post it right away!!!

I Think I've spend 3/4 of my project tweaking bits before launch, when I should have just launched and spent the time promoting!

It's hard to say.
Both products are quite different. Wallet took months to develop,source materials find manufacturer. I had a cowboy approach to it before. Launched right away on indiegogo and failed miserably. This wallet is also not for everyone. Mostly for travellers to developing countries. I wish I do more media exposure before launch

Coin pouch on the other hand appeal to a larger crowd and because it's relatively cheap and easy to produce involves risk. So I would say it was a good call. Some media might help but there's enough kickstarter foot traffic to keep it in a top 10 product in category.

With your product I am nature. Since it's a creative project I don't knowwhat's involved.

Did I unswerving your question?
