Personally, I wouldn't buy your product based on your ad because it looks like your product is a flimsy plastic sheet someone can make by unwrapping a plastic bag.

I remember reading about this on Reddit, how were sales there? Also, have you considered targetting your product to people like college students, or designers, etc?

It's not like a flimsy plastic sheet. I know the kind of product you're talking about, WhiteyBoard is not that. We just did a bad job of showing the product off in the video (correction; our director and set designers did a poor job)

We've thought about advertising to college students. We did a couple of free promotions at UCLA where we handed out our sticky notes for free, but those are tough sales to track. Students are also a tough demo to reach with marketing. Probably one of the main reasons 99% of our sales still just come from word of mouth. We have a good product and it's cheap.
