Yeah feedback on the names bamboozela and bamboozelas and ibamboozela . And consider those names hereby copyrighted.

This is made from winter cured bamboo harvested in March 2018, hand painted in acrylic and sealed after.

What does it do?
Just for the video / data impaired, you stick your phone in them and it "amplify's" the sound. Like sticking your phone into a bigger speaker box will always improve the acoustics.

What you guys think?

My issue is now I need to get people to buy the effing things.

How?
I already have them at a shop down the south coast, so how do I take this online to export or any other cheaper ideas how to sell?

Give out some freebies for review. I'll take one! :p

Jokes aside, those look very nice. Honestly I'm not sure I would buy one when Bluetooth speakers are so cheap these days. But that doesn't mean other people won't buy them. Perhaps consider selling on TakeAlot if you don't have your own website.

They look very very nice indeed, so all the best.
 
Very pretty, but amplifying sound is not the same as improving the acoustics.

Thanks

Yeah they are priced around the same as a blutooth speaker. My target market would be campers etc who want to sit around listening to music or watching video's in a more communal way.
So yes it does fit in with a certain lifestyle.

@Chuckmyster goes camping a lot so maybe he can give you honest feedback or tell your which shops are popular amongst campers.
 
Nice paint jobs. I think it would sell better as some kind of African wall art/ornament for the house than some kind of phone sound enhancer?
Ok I kinda wondered about that as well, they started out as natural speakers to begin with, the painting was secondary to grab attention.
 
Perhaps sell at markets too? Definitely get a business website and try get that out there. Facebook actually has decent support for this type of business, my wife sold a lot of home baked stuff through a facebook business page for years.
 
I go camping a lot too, and one thing you can pretty much be sure of, if the person camping is going to be using his phone for music he will have a way to charge it, and will therefor be using a bluetooth speaker. If these cost the same as a bluetooth speaker then I personally would much rather buy the speaker.

I don't mean to sound negative, but that's how I feel. If you do sell them and they are a success, well done, that is excellent. You can always try LA sport as well, they do 4x4 accessories and some camping equipment, but Iv'e seen some weird camping stuff there

Thanks, will do the facebook page.
 
They look good, but I'd also just go with a speaker.

I doubt you'll be able to apply copyright protection to the name. Probably will apply to the specific art on each item though.
