After one week of krakenbags.wordpress.com being live on the internet, we have received 140 visitors. Though the numbers are not astounding we are still happy that we got some visitors. Most of which came by way of posting from my own personal facebook account. Some of my friends even reposted the link to share with their friends. Though the reception was warming we still have not sold any bags. We realized that it is not an issue of our product, but more so the placing of it. Just because you put something on the internet (etsy.com) doesn't mean that it is going to sell. We must do a far better job of marketing our product. I put together some business cards for the group, in hopes that we can spread the word of The Kraken Bag Co, the old fashion way. If the cards don't get us any customers, hopefully they will get us a free meal, if restaurants still do business card drawings.
We are focusing our efforts on making a professional kickstarter campaign. Yu-Yi and I have been working on filming a promotional video for our company. Unfortunately for us the weather has been very nice and sunny and we need a rainy day to finish our shoot and film the bag in the rain. Despite the good weather, Yu-Yi and I spent our Sunday filming at various locations in Manhattan, including; L.E.S skatepark, Underneath F.D.R drive, The Staten Island Ferry, Computer Lab and various streets. The footage turned out great and tells a story behind the bag. We hope to have the video finished by next week, and the kickstarter campaign on the web ASAP.
