Hello Kickstarter & Indiegogo Backer!
I can’t believe it… it’s finally here… the day I get to announce… THE MOULDS ARE SIGNED OFF!!!!
I’m beyond thrilled to share the news and get to this point. I had a feeling production would be tricky but nothing could have prepared me for the amount of curve balls thrown in just the mould-making process… it almost broke me!! In saying that, my team and I have remained committed to creating the best possible dish brush known to man. A special shout out to our external consultants People & Things based down in Sydney. Without their knowledge and expertise, we’d still be moving along at snail's pace (thanks covid). They have been instrumental throughout this entire process, ensuring no stone left unturned. It was actually nice to meet people fussier than me! Unfortunately, our mould maker’s attention to detail did start to wane so employing the help of People & Things did a) keep me sane and b) help us across the line. As a team, we are proud to announce that we're finally in a position to give the green light on production!
BACKERKIT SURVEYS
In the next few days/early next week, please check your inbox for a survey from Backerkit (I am just waiting for some final info to include). It’s fairly straightforward and won’t chew up too much of your time. Backerkit will ask you to confirm your shipping address, choose your brush colour, shop for any additional products at a discounted rate, and finalise your shipping payment information.
Which colour will you choose???
NEW PRODUCT/ADD ONS
We're excited to announce that we have a new product in the ONE BRUSH family … say hello to the Tough Replacement Brush Head! Made from a combination of soft sisal fibers and a mix of strong bamboo bristles, this brush head is perfect for tougher scrubbing needs and will make the ideal laundry brush.
NEXT STEPS:
- Backerkit Survey Form ~ Boring I know but it’s essential you complete this survey to ensure your order details are correct and our inventory records accurate. Please check your junk mail folder if it doesn’t show up straight away.
- Quality Control (QC) ~ In the next few days, the moulds will be moved across to the manufacturing facility where our team will initiate a small batch run (100 units) for QC purposes. Once these units are signed off, we can go full steam into production! (this should take 2-3 weeks for all samples to be received, checked and signed off).
- Production ~ At this stage production should take 8 weeks from the green light. I will keep everyone updated as the timings progress and hopefully all goes to plan and we can be ahead of that schedule.
- Packing & Shipping ~ Once production is complete and all quality control measures are signed off, the beautiful, shiny new One Brushs will be sent to our fulfillment partner who will package and sort each order and start sending orders, with a projected delivery completion for all backers by the end of July (some will obviously get this sooner than others due to international logistics... and Santa's schedule).
It goes without saying that I’m immensely grateful for your continued support and patience throughout this process. To those of you who have reached out over the months with kind words of encouragement, it means the world to have your support. Being an entrepreneur is a lonely business at times and not always advisable to keep the spirit levels high ha!
And finally… I know delays can be frustrating but we're confident that your ONE BRUSH will be worth the wait. Thank you for joining me on this crazy journey.
