Everything You Need To Promote The Hell Outta The Cloak
by jessThe Apple iPad starts pre-selling on Friday, March 12, and hits stores on April 3.
What does that mean for us?
1. We have the incredible opportunity to cash in on iPad hype with the release of the Quirky Cloak, our sleek, functional iPad case, now available for pre-sale in Quirky’s online store.
2. We need to hustle to push Cloak out of pre-sales and into manufacturing so that we can get the product into consumers’ hands quickly.
3. We need YOUR help to push those social sales!
I’ve created a bit of a toolkit for promoting the Quirky Cloak on social media sites. Use your social sales link, pictured below on the bottom right of the product page, to refer potential Cloak buyers to Quirky, and you’ll cash in too!
ON FACEBOOK…
- Post your social sales link to your Facebook status, with an update like:
Jessica can’t wait to buy the iPad, but she’s even more excited to buy the Quirky Cloak iPad case.
ON TWITTER…
- Use a link shortener like Bit.ly to shorten your social sales link and post it with a provocative/cheeky/intriguing teaser. For example:
I’m going undercover with Cloak. [link]
ON BLOGS…
- Hit up tech blogs (Google “top tech blogs” for good lists) and leave comments on articles/posts pertaining to the iPad. Feel free to cut and paste the following text:
The Quirky Cloak is BY FAR the sleekest, sexiest iPad case on the market… plus, it’s mad functional! Check it out on Quirky.com — [YOUR SOCIAL SALES LINK]
You can also embed the following graphic banners in comments, on your personal blog… wherever your heart desires! Don’t forget to change the “YOUR SOCIAL SALES LINK” text to your own social sales link.
<a href=”YOUR SOCIAL SALES LINK” target=”_blank”> <img src=”Http://aquirkyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cloak-banner.jpg” border=”0″> </a>
<a href=”YOUR SOCIAL SALES LINK” target=”_blank”> <img src=”Http://aquirkyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cloak-banner-2.jpg” border=”0″> </a>
Now that you have everything you need, let’s go out and push those social sales!!!
Can I get a HELL YES?

Fantastic toolkit. This is gonna be awesome! Hopefully, this will take Quirky mainstream. Well, not too mainstream….gotta keep it “quirky”, right? But this will be “the one” that really gets our name out there. Awesome job!
