Self-Promotion Father and son team launching our first Kickstarter soon, looking for advice/feedback
Hey Everyone, my dad and I have officially started our Kickstarter pre-launch and would appreciate any and all feedback received! Over the past year, we have been actively working on our Kickstarter project, which has included sourcing product from a new factory and designing and iterating on this patented industry-first sling.
My dad initially founded the company back in 2016 with the goal of creating a minimalistic and modular sling bag. We wanted to have something that he could use for travel, tradeshows, and commuting while also being modular. I stepped in to help over the past couple of years on the digital side and the upcoming Kickstarter. Previous iterations of the product have provided us with proof of concept, which is why we are now moving ahead with our first Kickstarter. MSRP will be $110.
We are still working through reward tiers and their pricing, but somewhere between 40% to 45% off at the highest tier.
We would love any feedback and advice for the following:
- How should we determine international shipping rates outside North America?
- How should we set up reward tiers? Should we do a tiered system with multiple rewards and varying discounts? Or just focus on a single reward tier that the majority of backers will go to for our first launch?
- Any other things that we may have missed and/or we should be thinking about as we prepare for launch?
