Wondering if the more experienced Fastlaners can help a fellow hopefully future Fastlaner.
I just received my samples from the tooling I made. It's a knife that comes with a removable thumb part. ((www.safecutknife.com if you want to see exactly what it is) I want the knife to come in 3 different sizes (obviously the better fit it has the more comfortable it will be) The tooling I paid for, is the medium size.
the QUESTION IS, should I just start by selling only the medium size? And see how the people respond to the product in general? Does it sell?
OR, do I make at least one more size (cost $3,200.00) which will be the better fit for most of my potential customers (product responds better in the female crowd) So at least I have 2 sizes.
IMPORTANT to know, that this product didn't do well on the Kickstarter platform, and I continued to pursue it anyways for 2 reasons. Firstly, even though it's not great news that it didn't get funded on Kickstarter, it's still doesn't mean that it can't do well online and retail, and I still believe (And others as well) that it's a good product that perhaps will not sell millions but it will sell.
So.... Less risk (Of loosing also $3,200) VS if I'm going for it at least give it your best shot
Sorry it's long but I wanted to give you the full story.
