Making the Bands

In this episode, Cameron decided to pay $20 for the full In App Purchase inside of Ferrite for iPad, so that he could edit the entire episode on iPad. The results are a mixed bag. And we apologize for Cameron falling off the podcast for a thirty second interval or two. Also, our favorite part is at approximately the 45:20 mark.

After a short hiatus, Jon and Cameron return to talk about how sales have gone during the first month of ToneBands availability.

We've taken a few weeks off while we waited for the band and worked out logistics. But we're close! Website and official sales discussed in this fantastic episode!

In an abbreviated emergency episode of the podcast (due mostly to Cameron's inability to stay healthy), the guys discuss a couple potential issues that have arisen during the purchase of the first order of ToneBands.

So listen in at the 12:30 mark, and we have some information on getting onto a first-priority list once we have actual bands available here in the near future.

So far, Cameron and Jon have used this podcast to discuss the process of ordering and testing sample Apple Watch bands that they have ordered thus far. In this episode, they've tossed the silicone and metal pin talk out the window, and are talking exclusively about how they are currently using different social media platforms to promote the ToneBands brand. Are you an avid social media enthusiast? Well, then this is the episode for you. So sit back and enjoy, as we discuss promoting a new product through Twitter, Facebook, or email.

This is what happens when you go into a show with no notes. Jon and Cameron spend the first bit of this show discussing the hypothetical situation of ARM processors in MacBook Pros. From there, things progress to a lengthy discussion about what colors to order in what will hopefully be the final order of samples. Everyone is repulsed by the patterns provided by Batch #3 provider. There's also talk of a giveaway.

Jon and Cameron have both gotten the chance to give both sets of band samples a test drive. The guys talk overall impressions on both sample batches, what they want to order next, and answer some listener email!

It's a very exciting time, as the first sample bands have arrived from Shenzhen, China. Cameron and Jon discuss their initial impressions on the black metal pin, the silicone band quality, the band color, and a variety of other details with their new sample watch bands.

Cameron Banga and Jon Becker have determined that there is a specific type of band for their Apple Watches that they can not buy. Despite looking far and wide for a band that meets their need, they still feel as if there is a gap in the market. In this episode, Cameron and Jon discuss how they have ordered sample bands, that fit a specific need they have. If these bands are of high quality, our protagonists are hoping to buy a lot of 500-1000 of these bands, and then sell these bands individually for a profit on Amazon, eBay, etc. Learn more about Cameron and Jon, and what they are learning as they try to create their own band for the Apple Watch.
