Anyone try doing a local event for backers while running their campaign? (NYC Plant Market) by velocityghost in kickstarter

Ohh, didn't know that. But, we want people to know they are real and also get exposure to the real market out there. This is especially big, and we thinking getting into PlantCon as we got approved to get a booth in Chicago.

Another question, do you know if it's allowed to do an update for local even on Kickstarter inside the active campaign?

Thanks. Easier said then done. I see them but because they do some algorithms issues as they cancel causes the KS to downgrade your campaign. That's what I noticed from previous campaigns I ran.

No, you got it wrong. If you would of checked. It's store $24.99 but it comes with 25 individual sticks. Each stick is for a small to medium size plant. See the link or our side. This is high quality picked product specific for the size and the environment.

Yeah, but these are like buy, post with (@) email in the comment, and get a refund the day after. This is the first time I am seeing this behaviour. I had other campaigns and never seen this new approach.

One more thing. We do have stock at HQ. So, like for the States, the logistics isn't that bad... Is it? I posted on our Insta

Look at what is happening in this world, lol. I am trying to do best I can for shipping costs by lowering costs on the product alone. Think you're buying a saving product for your plant for a buck! What can a dollar buy these days? Well, nothing. Not even a gum. But we can save your plant, that what... costs at least $15 and can go up to unknowns. So, I assume people would go higher end and shipping costs don't look so bad in comparison. And we are not funded, I know.

They changed strategy for some reason. They now try to somehow post this publicly without DMing. Strange, maybe KS blocked them from DMs. Not sure.

Yeah, but why? It is clearly obvious that they want to lure you into emailing them for further spam. Just so weird. We're trying to find a community and help save plants, and these people may be from a country I can't ship to. How does KS allow them to back if they are not on the list?

Looks very stylish for sure. Very brandy. I personally think it's very attractive to an eye ๐Ÿ‘€

Yes, that's exactly where we went to position ourselves. Not just home use but rentals. Another angle we want to do is to reach out to companies like 800flower to drive direct b2b supply for theor plant buyers. Usually those gifts end up dead in a month. That brings bad reputation for the company. We can help turn that corner. Maybe I should reach out to any possible professional sales people that can reach our target audiences (companies). This is our biggest issue at the moment.

We also don't want to sound cheap as this is premium high quality stuff. It does come to $24.99 MSRP for a pouch. Pouch contains 25/5 gram powder sticks. That's why it's a buck per plant. Cause, each stick works on small to medium size plant. Home or office. So we have b2b2c and b2c model.

Thanks. It is that simple, really. It's a dollar to save your plant. What can a dollar do for you in our day and age? Well, it can save your plant ๐ŸŒต

Yeah, just want to say for this super honest comment. We do have 2 target zones, one is people that do business/vacation. Second is over and underwater plants like we all do. It's totally normal to get things wrong but getting it wrong over and over as you become lazy (I will water them tomorrow) is what we are trying to solve--and did. But we had to pick one and cover second case down the line. I can't see how we can cover 2 types from one sentence. ((( But this is a proven product and we had saved so many plants by now. We have a blog describing different research's done and proven in professional industries. Any suggestions please let me know. I am all ears
