I had a request to forward this to the list. It will be of interest to many. Cheers, Neal From: Karina Pikhart <karina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 6:26 PM Subject: Help us get 500 preorders for 6dot labeler! To: Dear Friends of 6dot Innovations, It is fantastic to have so many wonderful fans of the 6dot labeler, the up-and-coming battery-powered Dymo tape Braille labeler. Many of you have supported us since before we ever had a prototype; some of you discovered us later and decided to join along for the ride! We are so grateful for each of you! We are making a big push now to raise the money we need to launch our first batch of 500 labelers. But we need your help! We need to create a "buzz" around 6dot, and we need every blind person across the U.S. to know that our pre-order campaign has launched. This will determine who our first recipients are going to be when we get the first 500 labelers built! This means that we need to be on every blog, tweet, facebook status, news feed, email list, podcast, and other online feed that blind people around the country tune into. Note that we are taking a $50 deposit for each pre-ordered labeler, which is fully refundable if a customer later decides to not buy the product. However, this serves as a place holder to be one of the first owners of this exciting new product. Customers who are in the first 500 will also receive 10% off the cost of their labeler. Please consider making a post to any online forum you know, including a link to our website (or to the preorder page): www.6dotinnovations.com www.6dotinnovations.com/order.php Feel free to email back to us (6dot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) with the location of the post so we can see it as well! The sooner we sell out of 500 preorders, the sooner we will be able to build and ship the labelers! Also, be sure to follow us on twitter (6dot) and facebook (6dot Braille Labeler)! And if you haven't pre-ordered your own labeler, don't forget to do that soon!! Finally, we are also taking bulk orders from any companies that would like to order in large volume. Inquiries about purchase orders can be sent to sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On behalf of the 6dot labeler development team, thanks again for your continued support. We can't wait to deliver your Braille labeler to you! Best, Karina Pikhart President, 6dot Innovations, LLC www.6dotinnovations.com
