Dishing about Kickstarter – Throwback Thursday 2014!

Red RP Florida collage

Hi Folks – it is hard to believe that a year has passed since I launched RestoPresto® to the market via a Kickstarter campaign!  Because of generous friends, family, strangers (who are now customers); very little sleep and 100% belief and love for my product, the campaign was overfunded and a gaggle of RestoPresto® mats was manufactured in the USA!

 

RestoPresto was funded with Kickstarter!

RestoPresto® is the only convertible mat on the market that you can sit on, sit under & wear. It is lightweight, portable, compact and with snaps, drawstrings & loops it can be configured however you need it in an instant! From small pouch to multi-functional mat….PRESTO!

The business is moving forward, our new & improved website will launch soon and we are gearing up for the the holidays with fun inventory!  Please follow @RestoPresto on Twitter & Instagram and like our page on Facebook for updates and news! #RestoPresto www.restopresto.com

Here is a “throwback Thursday” for The Candi Dish post about choosing Kickstarter as a crowdfunding platform for RestoPresto®…of course the actual product was not mentioned until the big reveal a few days later!

TONS of uses...

Happy Wednesday!

I have HUGE news to share! I have officially chosen Kickstarter as my platform to raise funding for the first production run of my product.

This means that you will be able to pre-order your own first edition of my product via Kickstarter before it is manufactured!

Several people have asked me questions about how Kickstarter works, so I have written an overview of what it is (and what it is not) ahead of my campaign launch.  Please see below.

I am beyond excited to share ALL of the details about my product with you in a few days and am thrilled that I will be celebrating the launch with my hometown friends in St. Pete, FL on Saturday. As I have said, many a time…please stay tuned!

Warm regards,

Candi

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Kickstarter is a reward based (versus equity based) crowdfunding platform. Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, typically via the Internet. The model is comprised of 3 main roles: the project initiator who proposes the project to be funded (me); individuals who support the project (hopefully you) and a moderating organization that brings the parties together to launch the idea (Kickstarter).

Through Kickstarter, I will engage friends, family and social media contacts (all of who, in turn, I hope will spread the word) to provide a clear overview of my invention, the amount of money I seek, how the funds will be used and what the rewards will be at each contribution level. Plus there will be a VIDEO!

People interested in supporting my project will be able to donate money easily and safely through my secured Kickstarter web page. In return, I will offer various rewards at each contribution level.

The goal is to reach (and hopefully exceed) my financial target. With Kickstarter, fundraising is “all or nothing” in that if I do not meet my fundraising goal, then I do not get the funds and backers do not get charged.

I chose Kickstarter as the platform to raise money for my product invention as an alternative to gathering investors for two reasons: 1) I wish to maintain 100% ownership (rather than exchange equity) in my company and 2) I wish to take advantage of the far-reaching exposure that Kickstarter can bring to my product.

A common question for prospective backers is about incentive. What is the incentive for someone to contribute to a campaign to fund a project? The answer is twofold: receiving a reward is cool and there is a sense of gratification that comes from helping someone bring an idea to life. Being a supporter of a product launch can be an exciting and fulfilling experience.

For me, the process of creating a product from scratch has been a remarkable journey. Now I am at the pre-production point and financial backers are critical for me to keep the manufacturing process in the US. I truly look forward to bringing my supporters along with me for this wild ride!

Lastly, my Kickstarter campaign will be interactive between prospective supporters, backers and me. I will maintain an open line of communication for people to contact me and for me to keep my backers fully in the loop on the project and fulfillment schedule.

DISHING an update!

DSCN1419Happy Saturday!

When I launched The Candi Dish, my goal was to capture the remarkable photos and stories that came my way…often, very often. Travels (like my recent, fantastic visit to Solvang, CA), every day life in Manhattan, special occasions, spreading messages and the like.

THEN, I had an idea that turned into a project.  This project evolved into an actual PRODUCT INVENTION and I am working diligently to bring this fantastic thing to the market.  It has been a challenging, amazing experience and I am very excited to share the product launch via The Candi Dish soon!

I have several pending blog posts that are begging to be released in addition to the “big reveal” of my product so I ask you to please stick with me!  There SHALL be POSTS…..

It is a Saturday so a day late for my “Follow Friday” suggestion with respect to bringing exposure and assistance to a serious, but little known disease called Sanfilippo Syndrome.  There is a darling young lady named Blair who is afflicted with this disease.  Blair is the daughter of my friend, Roger and his wife Susan and the Sister of their younger daughter, Grey.  They have dedicated their lives to finding a cure for Sanfilippo Syndrome in honor of Blair in the most beautiful of ways.  Please explore one of these heartwarming efforts called “Sing for Blair” which features various people (including JIMMY BUFFET) singing for Blair, which brings much needed comfort and solace to sweet Blair.

To join the “Sing for Blair” movement please click on: http://www.gofundme.com/Sing-for-Blair

To read about Blair’s story and to learn more about Sanfilippo, please click on:  http://theblairbanner.org

 

In conclusion, I wish a happy belated Labor Day to American workers, best of luck to those with “back-to-schoolers”, encourage you to look into “Sing for Blair” and thank you for  being a Candi Disher!
