We first wrote about the Canary earlier this month because the concept was simply so cool. The Canary Smart Home Security Device contains an HD Video Camera, Night Vision, Motion Sensors, Temperature Monitor, Air Quality Monitor, Vibration Sensor, and Sound Sensor effectively becoming your eyes and ears for your home – when you are not at home. And of course it connects via an App with your iPhone or Android device. Hey if you are away on vacation and want to wake your neighbors you can remotely activate your siren.crowdfunding marketingThe crowdfunding campaign launched on July 22nd and quickly caught a lot of attention. The goal of $100,000 was The closing total stands at $1,961,494 contributed from 7,460 funders. This makes the Canary one of the most successfully funded campaigns on the Indiegogo platform ever. Sure the Ubuntu Edge raised over $12.8 Million but that was on a $32 Million miss. Canary is the most successful with the Scanadu Scout in a close second at over $1.6 Million crowdfunded.

The top package was for $8,800 to receive a “Collectors Edition”, Canary number one. Resellers could get into the crowdfunding campaign as well 10 packages for $4225 were sold out which included 25 of the devices. The tech category is perfect for rewards based crowdfunding. The pretail approach of product validation prior to investment has definitively proven itself as a cogent strategic approach. Canary is at the top of Indiegogo today, but most certainly the next tech success will be soon to follow and surpass this most successfully funded project.kickstarter project Posted from : https://sites.google.com/site/crowdfundingsmadeeasy/about-us |
