Hero to Zero: Record-setting Kickstarter Cooler Campaign Fails to Deliver
Steps to ruining a Kickstarter campaign as told by COOLEST Cooler. Recently the cooler company whom previously had raised the most money EVER on Kickstarter ($13 million) is getting some serious heat from backers, and for good reason. First, the company realized they set the Kickstarter price FAR too low $169 when it should have been $400 in order to cover costs. This error was compounded when aa blender strike in China inflated manufacturing costs. Hence the people at the coolest couldn’t deliver the goods. Not COOL.
What they did next no COOL To try and make up for the shortfall of cash they started selling coolers on Amazon for $399. So people that order on Amazon were getting coolers before Kickstarter backers – who originally paid $165. Not COOL. The coolest had promised backers their Coolers by November 2015 but have only delivered a third of them.
As you can imagine backers are not pleased. Backers started giving massive amounts of fake 1-star Amazon reviews. Sales officially cooled. . Their final solution, if backers are willing to cough-up an additional $97 they will guaranteed delivery by July 4th. The onions on these guys. More fireworks to come on this by July 4th.
