The definite #1 end goal for this year is to deliver Visonic Dome to every Kickstarter backer. This is where the success of a crowdfunding campaign is truly defined. Because it really doesn’t matter how many backers you can convince, if they never get to experience your product.
Indiegogo is officially out. Kickstarter is in. But with all those great features, why switch platforms? How does Kickstarter compare vs Indiegogo?
How can two designs, created at almost the exact same moment, half a world apart, possibly be so similar? The answer, I think, is more than coincidence. Instead, it’s…
Something that jumped out to me about this vintage LenSoClean ad is its age. How can there be an ad for an ultrasonic contact lens cleaner in 1982 if Visonic Dome didn’t debut until 1989?
Let’s set aside the fact that reselling existing products is against both Kickstarter and Indiegogo rules for a minute. Just how harmful are the drop shippers for our favorite crowdfunding platforms?
The truth is, the funding goals that you see on many campaign pages are completely arbitrary. They have nothing to do with the reality of what a campaign actually needs to succeed. In actuality, it’s all about influencing consumer psychology.
Even decades after the last Visonic Dome left the factory, they still pop up for sale on eBay now and again. And that means that there are a bunch of reviews by real people getting real results for us to read.
Should you wait for the Visonic Dome Kickstarter campaign? Or should you just buy its spiritual predecessor (LenSoClean) off eBay?
Crowdfunding is based on trust. And since most campaigns are raising funds for projects that don’t fully exist yet, it’s up to each backer to decide if the project is up to snuff.
Indiegogo recommends using Secret Perks to offer a special discount and thank loyal subscribers. That’s why we’re sending out a secret link to everyone who signs up for the free email notification and RSVPs to pledge their support in the first 72 hours.
Contrary to popular belief, the prices of the products we buy aren’t just picked out of thin air. There’s actually a basic formula used to decide how much a product should cost.
On average, the retail price of a product equals the bill of materials (BOM) and labor, multiplied by at least four.
All physical products on Indiegogo have the ‘Product Stages’ badge at the top of their campaign. In fact, the Indiegogo team personally checks each campaign to confirm that the correct stage was selected and that the creator isn’t lying to backers.
There are 2 main reasons why I’m only making 1,989 for this Visonic Dome Limited Edition: Firstly, to give you, dearest backer, the best crowdfunding experience that I possibly can & secondly, to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of my father’s design the same way that he debuted it.
In this quick post, I hope to show you why ultrasonic cleaning is so special. And then, hopefully, you’ll understand why a *sonic* contact lens cleaner is a waste of your money. And why that other company is full of 🤫…
The goal of the Visonic Dome Kickstarter campaign is to start that production up one more time. I’m very close to achieving that goal. But now I need your help.
Creating this video took way longer than I ever expected. And even though I hired a professional videographer and editor, it was still a lot of work to get it done. Read on for some advice on how to create your crowdfunding campaign video and learn what I wish I’d done differently.
December is often cited as one of the worst months to launch a crowdfunding campaign. And the reason is pretty obvious. Can you guess what it is?
Part of the Solution – Not the Pollution Have you seen the little Tree-Nation badge at the bottom of this blog? I’m talking about the
A handful of posts back, I mentioned that we’d get professional Visonic Dome pictures for the upcoming Kickstarter campaign. Well, friends, that moment has arrived.
Both Kickstarter and Indiegogo recommend a crowdfunding campaign length of ~30 days. Why? The reasons might surprise you.
A typeface that started as a crowdfunding campaign. Colors pulled straight from the original Visonic Dome packaging. And a minimalist logo that celebrates an iconic design.
When you’re developing a product for an industry – especially the healthcare industry – it’s important that you become well versed in that field. Understanding every aspect of how the product will benefit the public is just part of good design.
Visonic Dome, quite obviously, is a portmanteau of Vision and sonic.
Vision, because it cleans contact lenses.
And sonic, because it uses ultrasonic vibrations to blast away the dirt and residue on said vision enhancers.
Vision sonic. Visonic.
Ah, yes. Totally logical once it’s fully explained…
These images are just some that I took myself on an old iPhone until I get the professional pics from the professional photographer. And his professional hand model.
