Members ToddW Posted January 30, 2022 Members Report Posted January 30, 2022 Just curious if anyone has any experience with KickStarter. Just wanting opinions of it.. Todd Quote
Members Campleathergoods Posted January 30, 2022 Members Report Posted January 30, 2022 I went through the steps and might be able to answer any questions, although I ultimately did a gofundme instead. Quote
Members ToddW Posted January 30, 2022 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2022 My question on it being a good channel to start. One of the Youtube leather guys looks like he did a Kickstarter in 2016 and sold over 400 wallets that way but doesn't look like he has done one since. I know you typically discount and Kickstarter takes their piece as well as the Credit Card take. I am sure it whittles you down significantly on margin but moving 400+ wallets in a few weeks sounds like a decent volume.. no worse than selling wholesale. Quote
CFM tsunkasapa Posted January 30, 2022 CFM Report Posted January 30, 2022 Assuming I can do a wallet a day, how the hell am I going to sell 400? Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members ToddW Posted January 30, 2022 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2022 definitely going to require more than 1 wallet a day as well as some help sewing.. clicker them out, skive them and lots of sewing.. Quote
CFM tsunkasapa Posted January 30, 2022 CFM Report Posted January 30, 2022 I don't 'clicker, and I only handsew, on purpose! I have absolutely no desire to be a 'factory'. The very thought is disgusting. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members ToddW Posted January 30, 2022 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2022 I hand cut today and hand sew today, but definitely looking to get easier and more consistent. Quote
CFM tsunkasapa Posted January 30, 2022 CFM Report Posted January 30, 2022 35+ years and I still do it all by hand. Anything else takes the CRAFT out of it. I have a sewing machine, and it is a great place to pile things. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
