Splash Stacks Social Sales Tools

Hey Quirksters,

I'm creating this topic as a central location to provide the community with Splash Stacks Social Sales Tools. I'll be checking in periodically to provide whatever leads I can offer that would allow the community to cash in on their social sales link usage. In the mean time please post any resources here that you think would be great opportunities to create sales for the Splash Stacks. Let's go to work!

I hate writing... @Jared (or someone else) if you would write a paragraph or two that explains the Quirky process and this product I would spread it around on some of those blogs. I'll try and find some good pet sites too.

Here's some boiler plate for contacting bloggers:

Hello ***Insert Blogger’s Name Here***,

There is a new product called Splash Stacks that your subscribers need to know about. Splash Stacks is a product that makes bathing a breeze while saving your knees! A parent bathing a child or anyone washing their pet will love this product. It’s also great for kneeling in the garden, sitting on at a sporting event, etc.

Splash Stacks was created by career inventor Jared Joyce and the community at Quirky.com. Together they brought this product from sketch to store in only 42 days!

To learn more about Jared Joyce: http://tinyurl.com/2fatgdy
To learn more about Quirky.com: http://tinyurl.com/36ukmyg

You understand why your subscribers need to know about Splash Stacks. Now I will tell you why you want to promote Splash Stacks at no delay! Quirky.com assigns a social sales link to everyone in the community who signs up for a free membership. If you sign up at Quirky.com and then embed your social sales link with your Splash Stacks blog post, then you will earn 10% of the sale for every unit that your subscribers purchase.

If you want to blog about Splash Stacks, but do not want to sign up at Quirky.com, feel free to use my social sales link: ***Insert Your Social Sales Link Here***

Splash Stacks is currently in pre-sale at Quirky and needs to sell 980 units before Quirky will commit to manufacturing the product. Any of those 980 units sold during pre-sales will earn “influence” (i.e. a perpetual royalty) in the lifetime revenue of the product. That means that not only is Splash Stacks a great product that your subscribers want to own, but their pre-sale order will also serve as a financial investment in their future.

Thank you for your time. Feel to contact me with any questions.

Good job, Jared. This is how it's done. I think the bar has been raised for all future presale products...

@Jessica
Any word on when Quirky will have the in-house product video ready for Splash Stacks?

For Trendhunter, the website is of web2.0, user-generated content.
User can join and then he can write articles.

User will get Ads revenue too.

I think all winning product ideators should join Trendhunter and write about your product.

Here are some large local companies that produce pet & baby supplies...
West Paw Design has a retailer locator for small-large pet stores: Pet Stores
Gro-Via lists some retailers & distributors: Baby Stores

Anyone want to hit some of these companies up to try and get some wholesale orders? :)

Via an email from Nikki Laffel:

If you are in contact with retailers feel free to have them contact Chad ( chad@quirky.com - Head of Sales) directly and we would be happy to provide them with further sales info.

I thought Nichole was loving Jared a little more than most. Good job wonder duo on the drive for Splash Stacks. I wish you got behind some of my ideas throughout the development to make them easier to sell.
