Day 1 – Our tool watch for Long Distance Shooters has been fully funded by 18 backers; 25 dials out of the 100 are now accounted for!
We needed about $2k to cover all the costs for the custom parts, and we hit our target on day 1, with thanks to our mailing list and only $75 in advertising spend.
On the downside, about 1/2 the people that pre-paid for the Early Bird Special didn’t come back to purchase anything, which concerns me, because I don’t know how to let them know we are even open, if our mail goes to spam. Open rates are only about 50%, but I think it’s the same 50% all the time, so hopefully they will figure it out.
What’s next?
The dials are supposed to be finished this coming week. As soon as they are ready, I’ll make a new video/add images to the Page/send them out by email… and I will have the factory send 50 of them to me, and then I will send them out to those that ordered from Florida, so you get them without delay…
In return (and on the assumption you love them) I’m hoping you post images of your dials and builds, in your favorite subreddits and groups, with a link to the crowdfunder BEFORE it closes. That’s the goal.
Because the tariffs ate our adspend.
So I’m counting on you guys to share this for me – because if I do it, I get haters for posting ‘con-mercials’, as one guy said – so I’d appreciate it if you post your own pics and help me try to spread the word.
And just so you know, places like Reddit wont even let me advertise to any shooting related forum, so I can really use user generated endorsements, if you feel the product was worthy, because that is what sells people these days.
We only have the parts to build 50 watches, which means the Seikomod guys only get 50 for their builds. And I think I have enough OUTCAST bezels for another 5 watches. So supplies are limited, so if you haven’t bought yet, now is your time to lock in orders.
…if you have any issues with the link, let me know. If you are looking for the SECRET Links to the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL, check your spam for emails from us. If you have any questions, just email and ask me. And lastly, if already bought something, thank you for making this concept a reality.
We will start shipping this coming month.
Keep the Faith,
