    That Was Quick! – Another to Threshold!

    We literally just sold over 200 units of the PowerCurl in just over an hour. This thing is HOT.

    PowerCurl hit the online store yesterday at 10:30 am and well, now it’s 10:30 am and we have already hit threshold. Fastest quirky product to hit pre-sales yet.

    PowerCurl off to manufacturing

    Good thing is …. you can still buy it at the low price of $9.99

    Wow, we are seriously impressed and HAPPY over here at the quirky HQ. Those sleepless 38 hours have paid off.

    Another quirky product off to manufacturing! Thanks to all our influencers!

    Kickster: The Case That Makes A Stand

    Yes, we know, one product in 24 hours seemed crazy enough. But never put it past the quirky to accomplish the seemingly impossible. We are happy to announce the launch of Kickster as well.

    quirky’s kickster is an awesomely new case designed by the quirky community and apple enthusiasts worldwide within 24 hours of apple’s announcement of the 5th generation iPod nano. We designed this scratch resistant case with the maximum combination of beauty and function.

    kicksterThis case maintains a slim profile while adding a ton of functionality. We’re talking: hard plastic exterior, cord wrap, shock-resistant silicone core, as well as full body and screen protection.

    Oh, but that’s only half of it. This case comes packed with a hand steadying video grip that transforms into vertical and horizontal kickstands. For more product specific details, check out the product’s page.

    Also, please be kind: our render farm had a technical glitch circa 5 am this morning so there are currently only low resolution renders. We don’t have all the views we wanted to show you, but keeping to our promise, we have launched this product. We will be updating the images throughout the day. What we can promise you now, is this thing will be fantastic!

    2 Products Launch in 24 Hours

    Promises have been kept, or rather, exceeded. We did it – with the help of the quirky community who submitted 1106 individual contributions, we developed two products in 24 hours.

    The first one is the Power Curl: a clip on cord wrap for Apple’s 60W and 85W MagSafe Power Adapter in just 24 hours. PowerCurl wraps both cords (plug end & MagSafe end) around the device and allows for easy and quick cord wrapping. The Curl, as we like to call it, makes it easy to unplug and pack up quickly without having to untangle your extension cords the next time you need to set you shop.

    Power CurlThe included Curl clip enables the plug end of your cord to clip to itself just like your MagSafe end does.

    Fear those heated power adapters no more – PowerCurl elevates the power adapter off the ground or desk for better air circulation and cooling.

    Oh and we can’t forget to mention – we’ve quirkified this thing – it’s bright orange, super lightweight and dead sexy. You will be able to choose the 60W or 85W model prior to device shipping.

    Come on and commit to this thing…its only $7.25 in pre-sales. And as always, you’ll earn influence for committing early. Wahoooo!

    introducing the quirky wholesale & retail network

    We are pleased to announce the launch of quirky’s wholesale and retail network. With the roll out of the W&RN we will immediately begin scaling up the amount of units sold during  both the pre-sale and sales phase of our projects (read: we’ll all make more money).   That said, there is enormous benefit in getting involved as a wholesaler & retailer, as noted below:

    As a quirky wholesaler, you’ll be notified as soon as a new product hits our store (so expect a notification every few days). If you want to become known as a pioneer and not just a “buyer” … you’ll have to move quick.

    WholesaleIf you see potential in a product, you can cash in on your intuition. To do so, place an order in quirky’s pre-sale phase—this earns you influence in the product. Once we move into production, that influence earns you a perpetual royalty on the product.

    That’s right, now every time someone buys the product—whether it be at your store, or your competitor’s store—you’re cashing in. How great is that?

    For more info, click here!

    Want in on the wholesale action? Shoot an email to businesstime@quirky.com to let us know how you can help get our products to the masses.

    Product 9 Launch: Scratch-n-Scroll

    scratch-n-scroll

    Scratch-n-Scroll is a standard mousepad with an added writing surface. This mousepad is for all those times you are working at your desk and cant find a pen to jot down that phone number or list item you know you will forget later on.

    Simply, write notes to yourself on your mouse pad using just the pressure from your finger or the built in plastic stylus as a “pen.” Cool thing is, just like your childhood toy the magic slate, you can erase the notes at any time simply by flipping up the semi-transparent top sheet.

    Scratch-n-scroll maintains the slim portable design and scrolling surface you’ve come to expect of a standard mousepad, and works in conjunction with any optical / ball based computer mouse. It features a non-slip back pad ensuring that it stays put on your desktop while in use.

    Let’s push another quirky creation thru pre-sales and into manufacturing. Commit here!
