Investor's request

RUTHVIK

Dear @Carl
As an investors we need Ear (1) before 30 days of it’s release . Because we need to test the product and encourage our fellow people to purchase it . We are ready to buy it but please make sure to make it available 30days before release date .

RUTHVIK

I don’t know why 40% people don’t need them early . If possible please post a reason .

Hi RUTHVIK

I’m a “no” - here is why:

As investors our job is to maximize what is best for the company. 30 days before the general “retail” release, what was produced/is packaged should go to as many journalists and influencers as possible. Delight random pre-orders with gifts. Do fun pop ups. Whatever. Each Ear1 used for marketing becomes part of CAC and should be optimized.

There are some investors who have a sizable social following, would make sense to capitalize on their personal motivation + platform.

My expectation as an investor is to buy it online with everyone, write up about it, and buy as a bunch for friends and family for holidays/birthdays etc. Getting cool toys ahead of release is nice … but unless you as a person are a substantial marketing channel - it is best for management to prioritize those first.

Thanks for the reply . I appreciate you for the response . I liked it . Why I asked is we have particular well established reviewers in INDIA . I have contact with them , this will help in better boosting of the product marketing as well as issues with the product ahead of release .

Internally, we are of course planning for a lot of what @sheynk refers to. There’s a lot riding on ear (1), and it’ll be important to ensure that media and key creators are part of that story. But our investors will certainly be part of the first wave of priority orders. You’ll have the means of purchasing ear (1) before it goes on general sale.

Hi Matt,

As an Investor obviously I think the launch should prioritize key people and the “masses” as this generates sales. But as an investor I’m also very keen and eager to learn more/test and “feel” the product - from what I’ve seen so far I absolutely love the design.

when you say investors will be able to be part of the first couple of orders/a possibility to order ear (1) before the general sale - how and where?

I suppose the 1/100 sale through stockx is the first chance of buying ear (1), but I don’t know if I feel that lucky with the bidding process. I think I used all my luck on Crowd cube when I was one of the lucky ones that had the chance of investing in Nothing 🤣

thanks anyway and keep up the good work!

When will forum members receive access to purchase?

tdm That’s a good question, but considering that the first “Limited Drop” will arrive in just a few days, I am not so sure we’ll have access to purchase the ear (1) before that.

As a side note, I believe Matt is no longer working for Nothing, even if his profile on the forums was not updated yet.
