OT- I invented a new product.

Maybe I'm a bit jaded (between my wife and eventually mobile kids) but I see this and think "More crap I will be picking up off the floor".......unless you can do a few with the image of Patrick's avatar......

Best of luck on the venture! I hope it takes off!

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

Talk about great free press and getting our new brand out to the public if he makes it onto the show and has some hot model sporting a pair of UCONN techblings for a national audience. (Terrible run on sentence)

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.

We are taking some of the advice we got here on the board and making it clear what our product is on our front page. We say that TechBling lets you "own your cords". The idea is that our product will be made to fit all type of charger cords along with the headphones (the TechBling that is currently on the website). Right now TechBling fits iphone and samsung headphones as well as many of the less expensive headphones such as skull candy.

Scot - you know I'm proud of you and how I think this product will take off. Awesome idea. Better than some of your upcoming ones and not as cool as some of your art - but I think you will see fruits of this one for sure.

Not a huge fan of the web site - being a web application guy I can give you some pointed feedback for your creator if you want and even have some design people chime in. Let me know.

I will always take advice on my website. We just added a "what is techBling" to the front page last night.

Very cool idea. I only spent a minute on there but I knew what the product was. Have you seen how young girls are studding and rhinestone-ing their iPhone cases? It's a huge trend. When I think "bling," I think sparkle! If you don't have cz or rhinestone ones, I would definitely add them so girls can match their phones! (I'm a girl. We spend all the money. We like matching things.) I can see them creating patterns so buying more than one, so I would offer different sizes, etc. Also, the price point is perfect. You could probably go up for sparkle! Or offer a quantity discount to encourage collecting (I am a collector too!) or pattern building, or a customer loyalty program. Think of the beaded bracelets. After six beads, most places offer $25 (about 1/3 the price of an average bead). People buy these just to have them, because they 'retire.' Limited editions make people crazy and give them collector value! Good luck! Great idea! I wish you success!

TechBling was founded by Scot..., Lance ... and David .... of Atlanta, GA. They were tiered of seeing old boring headphones and chargers everywhere and wanted to create something that gives you the ability to personalize and own your cords!...

Fix the typo and move this up top.

Alternatively, you can create a intro page that asks:

Tired of seeing old boring headphones and chargers? Want an easy way to distinguish between headphones and chargers? Just want to express yourself? TechBling let's you add your personal style to tech devices.​

Maybe put an appropriate "testimonial" on each of sub pages as a lead.

"As a gifted UConn fan, I love that I can show my support for my school while I run with my TechBling on my headphones" F. Ishey, gifted UConn fan, NY, NY​

​

"All my friends want to know how they can get one" Teenage Girl, Anytown USA​

​

"It's hard show your faith in today's fast paced world. TechBling let's me do that in a way I am comfortable with." Choir Lady, Atlanta, Georgia.​

​

I might fade them over the photo for each section, say five seconds and then leave them up top.

Nice idea, Scot. I think it has legs.

I am in love with these quotes. Choir lady makes me think of SNL's church lady. Haha.

I made a few changes - I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. Thanks again guys (and girls).

Nice - much easier to figure out what the product is. Only thing missing is the UConn logo techbling on the front page

Hey scote, if you become stupid rich, you've gotta send the whole boneyard to a decent tournament game (flights not included). How's that sound?
