Awesome Stuff: Getting Creative With Bags
from the searching-for-the-perfect-bag dept
We're back with another awesome stuff post of interesting crowdfunding projects. This week, we're looking at some different approaches to bags. There are a ton of bag/backpack products on Kickstarter these days, but these three stood out as interesting in taking different approaches.- The Air Pakk
- The Hoboroll
- The Colfax Smart Pack
That's it for this week. Pack up your stuff and head out for the weekend.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Here's a Craaaazzzyyyy thought... why not have a backpack that includes as a value added system a semi-REMOVABLE (attached by cord/whatever and velcro) inflatable pillow.
Then you have both pack that can have the items in it and a pillow..
I know I know.. Craaazzzyyyy talk!

Re: LOL
1. If it were named something normal, I probably would have promoted it and its campaign in the main section, highlighting why it was an interesting bag. It wasn't the name that attracted me to it. I checked out basically every proposal for a bag on Kickstarter.
2. You seem to come from the (ridiculous and wrong) school of "any press is good press." That's just silly.
3. Just because people are talking about your "choice" of branding doesn't mean anyone will buy it. Note that every other bag mentioned on this page has met its funding goal. The douche bag has not. In fact, all the other bags have raised much more money than the douche bag is even trying for.
So, yeah. Whatever.

Though in a message to the creator maybe for the international (sensitive) market I instead suggested the phrase of "Marketing - A tax on stupid" instead of douche.

Anyway, I find it interesting.
