Hey everyone!
First off thanks again to everyone who pledged to help us establish Eqo Optics! Due to a complication in the ordering of our lenses we decided to go with Polaroid Eyewear which are high quality polarized and recycled lenses! Thanks everyone for your patients we greatly appreciate it! Sunglasses and all other goodies will start shipping on Friday May 4th. Sorry again for inconvenience! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email us.
Cheers,
Eqo Optics
Hey Backers!
We have been hard at work cutting, sanding, engineering & finishing and we are almost ready to begin shipping out orders! We are currently awaiting the arrival of our lenses to start shipping.
We will start shipping out the >$100 orders (t-shirts, sticker packs) this weekend.
Thanks to everyone again, this is an amazing adventure for us!
You will receive tracking information from us once your order is in its way!
Thanks again!
Cheers,
Jon & Ryan
This is so exciting! Thank you so much to everyone who pledged and have been supporting us! Seriously, we're awestruck!
The next few weeks are going to be crazy for us, so we better get off to work....
We will be sending out a survey to all the backers in the next few days, in which you can specify your color choice, t-shirt size, custom message, etc.
If you have any questions of comments please let us know! Thanks again everybody!
Sincerely,
Jon & Ryan
Hi everyone, here's what Ryan and I have been up to this past week...
Our article on thrillist.com Denver was so popular, the Seattle branch decided to publish an article as well! Check it out, we're still on the front page: www.thrillist.com/SEA/new
We have also found an amazing marketing partner based in Cocoa Beach, Fl, who will be assisting us in taking Eqo Optics to the next level! We have been meeting over the past few days, and together have hammered out a focused marketing strategy that we are all very excited about!
In addition, our local Colorado Springs newspaper The Gazette will be running a feature story on Eqo Optics on March 13th, the day before our campaign ends. Together with the Gazette & the support from all the amazing backers so far, we should have no problem meeting our goal!
To sum things up, we cannot say thank you enough to everyone who has pledged thus far! This has been an exciting & truly eye-opening past 25 days!
Cheers,
Jon & Ryan
