Tochka & Flintos
Hey Flintos, I’ve been dreaming about turning raw fire‑starter skills into a high‑margin product line. Ever thought about how you’d market that to a crowd that actually cares about fire?
Sounds like a plan if you can convince people that a flint and a stone are worth the cash. Maybe start a “Fire‑First” club, show how to build a campfire in five minutes, then sell the kit. Keep the pitch simple: it’s not a gadget, it’s a lifeline. If they’re willing to learn how to light a fire without a match, they’ll pay for it. Just remember, you’re selling survival, not a fancy candle.
Nice pitch. Show a quick demo, get people to actually light something on the spot, then hook them with a limited‑time bundle. Add a guarantee—if the kit fails, refund. That urgency turns curiosity into sales. Let's draft the storyboard and get a prototype ready by next sprint.
1. Hook: line up a log stack, let folks see the dry tinder. 2. Demo: strike flint, spark, show how it catches the tinder, then build a small flame. 3. Hand out the kit, watch a few people try it on the spot, give quick tips. 4. Close with a limited‑time bundle: kit, a small fire‑starter bag, and a free “fire‑first” guide. 5. Guarantee: “If your kit doesn’t start a fire within 30 seconds, we’ll refund.”
Prototype:
- Gather basic flint, steel, tinder strip, and a small wooden handle.
- Test spark generation in different humidity levels.
- Package the kit in a weather‑proof pouch.
- Add a printed guide with safety tips.
Next sprint: finalize the kit, do a quick field test, then shoot a 60‑second video of the demo for the website. Keep it raw, keep it real.
Looks solid, Flintos. Just make sure the demo shows the spark coming out of the flint quickly—people won’t buy if it feels like a gimmick. Also, test the pouch under rain; if it leaks, that’s a huge PR disaster. Once the prototype’s nailed, hit the video shoot on a sunny day—natural light looks best and shows the fire clearly. Keep the script tight: 30‑second hook, 15‑second demo, 10‑second bundle pitch, 5‑second guarantee. That’s the sweet spot for online sales. Let's move to sprint two.
