OT- I invented a new product.

[Scot-e]

Just got licensed by the NCAA and I am slowly picking up new schools. Just got UCONN! I was hoping to get some feedback from the Boneyarders.

I have about 25 patents for different shapes such as football helmets, circles, ribbons, flags, peace signs ect...

Here is a link to my website:

Honestly I had no idea what your product was by looking at your website until I read the fine print at the bottom. I looked around and clicked a few times to see other pages on your site...probably looked for a good 2-3 minutes and still had no idea what the actual product was. You might want to get that fine print about "owning your cords" up much higher on the page.

Good luck though, awesome to see you auditioned for Shark Tank. That show is amazing.

I agree with the above post. It took me a while to figure out what you were selling.

Neat product though. I could see it catching on. Congrats.

Isn't that called flair?

Good luck with this, Scot.

 

[Fishy]

I knew exactly what it was from the first second I saw the website - but then again, I'm gifted.

I agree with my slower, duller compatriots above that perhaps the product needs to be made more obvious on the webpage.

Good luck with these. I hope they become the next (insert name of those things that kids used to put in the holes of their Crocs).

Typo in the 'About Us' section on the bottom right? "They were tiered of seeing old boring headphones..."

What he said...

my 12 year old would probably rock some of that bling on her headphone cord for her Ipod touch

Scot...very interesting idea. Good luck and please say hello to HD for me.

The shark tank video is what made me "get" it. Also nice to "see" what Scot-e (formerly scote - right?) looks and sounds like!
When you get some UConn ones made up you should post again- I'd pick some up!

OK if you can clip it you can use it. Now I could see it on shoe strings, belts, apron strings (i.e. restaurants), etc.. its inexpensive branding. Cords are typically stored away, but if you can expand it (in the future) I see a wonderful inexpensive branding tool for commercial, retail and personal use. Home Depot, Walmarts and other wear aprons, and each month there is a recognition of something (breast cancer, black history, etc...). It has a wide and expansive opportunity.

Sorry but I get carried away when I see a good and new idea. Good luck and please keep your Yarders updated.

By the way Paypal works great for me.

How do I invest?

 

[HuskyBlue08]

Honest feedback- as someone who lives with roommates with multiple identical Apple chargers, I can see how this would be useful. I would definitely buy a UConn version for the $3 you charge on your website.

Cool idea. Hope you get rich and donate most of your profit to the new basketball practice facility.

 

[ZenConn]

Cool idea. I hope you do well and spit - pa-toohey on the people in China that will try to copy this ...

 

[kobebeanbryant]

you spelled "tired" wrong in your About Us section.

 

[Deepster]

The Shark Tank video answered a lot of questions.

Clicking on the product descriptions didn't help sell the product. I think you should have the product shown "in action" and on an actual cord in use.

I also worry about the religious affiliation. I think there are a lot of people that would be turned off immediately by that piece of the puzzle. For example, I don't want to buy my Falcons logo bling if I think this is a Christian based organization and that's where my money goes. Business is business, in my mind.

That being said, if there is any opportunity for small investments in the product I would be interested. I think it's catchy.

 

[huskymedic]

Well done... I would hope for a UConn image to be prominently displayed somewhere WHEN you make it on Shark Tank

Let us know when the NCAA stuff hits the page.

 

[UC990411]

I would do yourself a favor, hire someone to run your website. I think it was stated above but I got bored before I could figure out what you were selling

 

[Doggie Style]

Nice job Scot-e. Good luck.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

Could these be used on shoelaces, apron strings, etc... ?

Also: Please let me know when the UCONN version is available for purchase

 

[JCSuperstar]

I'm a big Shark Tank fan....any idea if you make the show? Good luck with it man.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Can someone please tell me what this product is? Shoe lace covers? Seriously it's been bugging me all day. I don't see a single display picture on the website.

A giant picture of a baseball isn't telling me much. No offense.

Click on the video on the site. Basically bling you attach to your phone charger or other cords

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I really do think it is a cool idea. Feels like the market will only get bigger. I agree with most comments above....if your company is called "Tech Bling"...the website should reflect your brand...it doesn't feel techy...or blingy. Your energy in the video blows away the energy of the website.

I am also curious about the religious angle. When I first opened the site what I first saw was a middle aged woman with a cross. Is that your target audience?

Once I figured out what it was...I was impressed with the concept. Hard to believe it isn't out there yet.

Good luck...hopefully you are okay with all of us closet marketers giving feedback

 

[mauconnfan]

Saw the video - great idea - with a 17 yr old son on travel basketball and volleyball teams I see kids with these in their ears all the time - I'm sure they would like to scream out who and what they support with a product like these !!

Good luck!!
