    You’ll notice the naming project for product 18 (iphone flash) ended 20 prematurely.

    This was due to a automatic triggering of the logo design project start.. We had our schedule a bit mixed up.

    As a result we were forced to judge the naming project early so that the logo design peeps had a name to work with.

    We apologize to all effected…

    quirky’s bobble brush is a tooth brush stand that turns your toothbrush into a “weeble.” No more sink top germs on your bristles – this weighted structure keeps your tooth brush upright, bobbling, and grime free.

    The tooth brush insert slot at the top of the structure can fit most standard, non-electronic brushes with its friction-fitted, plastic entry point. The rubberized, weighted base will keep the bobble brush from sliding off a wet sink or tight bathroom surface. No worries germ-o-phobes – bobble’s top and mid sections can be unscrewed and detached for easy cleaning.

    Feel free to keep one at every sink at home or bring it with you when you travel. Select your favorite bobble color from one of the three: pink, green, or blue – or buy ‘em all for the whole family and give each tooth brush their own.

    Commit now in pre-sales for $8.99 (and earn some more influence of course!)

    As part of a new and ongoing effort to expand the transparency within our community as to how decisions are made &  how influence/cash is rewarded, we’ve added this super cool page in your profile so you can track how much influence you have earned in each products’ various phases of development. If you go to your porfolio and click any of the products listed under your picture, you will be able to see how much influnence you have earned for all products inproduction, in presales, and in development. Click to expand/explore for a deeper dive into the breakdown. So now you can see where your (and other peoples) influence is coming from.



    Remember, influence means earning potential.



    Let us know if you have questions or feedback on this page.  We will be adding many more features in the coming weeks which will allow the entire community to see & track sales both direct on our site and at wholesale/retail…    We understand there is some question as to how things are all happening, and we intend to explain everything by constantly unveiling new tools such as this one today.

    We’ve run across a few issues with our mass-production run of the split stick.     We’ve been back and forth with our manufacturer over the past few days identifying issues, and working to resolved them quickly.


    Known issues:

    -The slider nub, in some cases becomes dislodged from what is supposed to be a one way snap. (due to poor tolerancing)

     

    -In a few cases- The spring mechanism has varying rigidity and can get stuck. Making it quite difficult to slide from side to site, and often causing issue number one (above)


    This is a huge disappointment to us, and  split sticks factory is taking full responsibility for the poor consistency.     They have already fixed these issues and are in the process of re-producing the units and getting us a fresh batch.


    That said, we are also taking full responsibility, and have worked diligently with those who have sent notes to tiny dino regarding their split stick to have a replacement overnighted to them free of charge.


    As i said before, we’re working hard at this and this product will get the justice it deserved. Anyone unhappy with their first production run unit shouldn’t worry– just send us a note and we’ll get you all fixed up.


    One further note-  as a result of this issue, we’ve implemented a process with a 3rd party Quality Assurance company which is on the ground at our factories testing 100% of the new units being produced both for split stick, and the others which are due out in just a few weeks.

    In just a few moments, all of those who pre-ordered a split stick will receive an email with instructions on how to choose their color/etch & complete their order. Orders completed this weekend will all ship out on Monday. A few important notes:

     

    1. Pink is backordered through mid-month
    2. Payouts will begin taking place mid-week next week (to allow for all pre-orders to be completed)
    3. Your influence in split stick may grow (you’ll see in influence bonus on your page), if some who pre-orderd their product do not claim their units– we are allowing 10 days for order completion before doing an influence audit.
    4. All SplitStick pre-orders will ship complementary FedEx, becasue we’re that excited about getting you your product
    5. If you have second thoughts, you can cancel your order– but you’ll forfeit your influence

     

    Thats all from us, we’re going to spend the weekend packing boxes.  Horray!
