Post-Production Updates Are A-Comin’!

During last week’s Town Meeting, we announced some changes to the way production updates would be communicated. In short:

- We will provide a date estimate only when full production has begun.

- We will send confirmation e-mails and have SKU (color/version) selection only when the product is on hand.

- We will provide a full production report on each post-threshold product every three weeks.

Stay tuned for the following post-production reports coming your way…

Wrapster: later today!

Space Bar: 9/10

MugStir: 9/14

Sling Back: 9/23

Switch: 9/30

Click n Cook: 10/4

Pivot Power: 10/5

SlingBack Hits Production Threshold

After 325 days, we’ve moved SlingBack into production.

As many of you know, this has sparked both an internal/external conversation about product aging and how it should affect the threshold process. We have a bunch of thoughts, and we’ll continue to monitor the respective threads on this topic on the blog/forum.

At the end of the day, we agreed with many of your sentiments about keeping our word, etc. That, and we think Slingback is a great product.

We hope to address the aging/threshold stuff in the next few weeks. But for now, congratulations to everyone on pushing product #14 to threshold.

Let’s Make It 11!

This week, we pushed not one but TWO products into production: Cloak and Petal Drops. We’re super excited! But we can’t help but think about how awesome it would be to hit a trifecta this week. We can dream, right? Check out these other products, which are just a few votes short of hitting production. Maybe if we push hard enough, we can get these into production this week too!

Sling Back (Quirky’s first-ever product!): 569 out of 625 –> 91% –> 56 to go

Wrapster: 642 out of 720 –> 89% –> 78 to go

MugStir: 514 out of 630 –> 82% –> 116 to go

Let’s blog, Facebook, Tweet… whatever it takes to round up some more sales! I know you all can do it.
