Kickstarter

Howdy Pocket Grill fans, another quick update on what we’ve been up to:

Earlier today we had our first marketing email go out, for testing purposes to see what kind of interest there is in the groups we were targeting.  We don’t have the results yet but early signs are promising. It’s a small sample of about 100 prospects, but the group itself is about 10,000 strong so we feel there’s a lot of opportunity there if approach carefully.  We’ve been reaching out to various online camping communities as well, most recently Reddit looking for feedback and opinions about the Pocket Grill and seeing what other campers think of it.  So far it’s all been pretty positive!

In addition to this we’ve reach out to a few National Parks we’ll likely work with in the future, showcasing a few of their parks in our future newsletters.  We want to find the best places around the globe for you to visit and use your Pocket Grill.

As always we’re very appreciative of everyone’s continued support and thank you very much to those who became our fans, subscribed to the newsletter, followed us on Twitter and of course purchased a grill in our last update.  You have our thanks and we will continue working hard to make this dream a reality.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend, hope you guys get a chance to go camping over it.

 

Happy Grilling,

-Ross Johnson

Good morning backers!

My name is Ross Johnson, and I’m the newest member of the Pocket Grill team.   My role on the team is to take over the marketing and communications for the Pocket Grill!

In fact, I received my own Pocket Grill this weekend, Jay and Ben don’t lie — it really does fit in a pocket.  Not sure why I was surprised. But opening up the tiny box, I was able to assemble it no problem in under five minutes, without reading the instructions (I’m a man!).  I haven’t had the chance to cook with it yet, but when I do I’ll take pictures and get an updated post on here.

Over the next few weeks, we’re reaching out to national parks. We'd like to do a few guest posts on their regional newsletters on the topic of open-fire cooking.  In addition, we’re going to begin our own e-mail newsletter that will focus not only on the Pocket Grill, but camping in general.  Some ideas we’ve had so far is to share the best places for open fire camping, open fire cooking techniques and safety, and guides to building a proper campfire.

We’re doing every we can to bring this product to market, and I personally want to thank every one of you for the support shown so far.  Because of it, Jay and Ben felt comfortable in creating new position to help get this product on the market. I appreciate and thank everyone who has pledged support to this project.
