Hi,
I hope you had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! I'm excited to give you a peek under the hood at what we’ve been working on over the past few weeks and give you a chance to vote on our package design. But first, a quick update on Stretch Goal #3.
Over the weekend, I announced that the hot/cold therapy rollers will be available if we reach $125,000 in funding! We are at $114,000 now - just a little over $10,000 away - so please share this project with your friends and family so we can reach the goal and all benefit from this huge improvement! Just forward this email to anyone you know with back or neck pain.
Vote On Your Favorite Package Design
We have been moving full speed towards production, including building tooling and developing the supply chain and production line - I'll have some cool pictures from the factory floor to share with you later this week. We have also been working hard on the packaging design which I'm excited to share with you today and get your feedback!
The package design includes a folding carton box with a tray inside, like this:
Now comes the fun part and you get to help! We have three different concepts for the graphics that will be printed on the outside of the box and as a part of The Backmate team, I need your vote on which one you like best. Please let me know in campaign page comments here.
Concept 1 - Detailed, full-color graphics on a white box
Concept 2 - Minimal, single-color graphics on a white box
Concept 3 - Minimal, single-color graphics on a brown box
Talk to you soon,

Hi!
I hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend and I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I just wanted to send you a quick note that we reached $110,000 in funding today! This means Stretch Goal #2 is available - your Backmate will come with adjustable roller width.
Now you can personalize your Backmate even more by changing the spacing between the wheels. Special thanks for your comments, this innovation came to reality as a suggestion of our backers. Please give us more ideas on how to improve the Backmate for you in the campaign page comments here!
Stretch Goal #3 - Hot/Cold Therapy Rollers
I'll just get right to it and let you get back to enjoying your weekend: If we reach $125,000 in funding, backers will be able to upgrade their Backmate to include a set of hot/cold therapy rollers! These rollers can be warmed up in your microwave or cooled down in your freezer to give you an extra boost of hot or cold therapy during your Backmate massage sessions.
Please help us bring these to you by sharing our project with your friends and family - we all know someone who could use some therapy! Just forward this update or click the Facebook share button below.
I'll have more exciting news for you next week about manufacturing and I'll show you our preliminary package design concepts. I can't wait to speak with you then. Have a great weekend!
Talk soon,
Eric

Hi,
Well done! Thanks to your support, we raised over $100,000 - which means YOU get a free set of blade-shape rollers with your Backmate!
But don't go away yet, I have some more exciting announcements you won't want to miss: stretch goal #2 is ready for you, I created a video for you of our favorite exercises with The Backmate and I am LIVE right now on Facebook.
Stretch Goal #2
Thanks to comments/suggestions from Thomas, Marc and Creative, we figured out a way to make the roller width adjustable. It only takes a couple small design and tooling changes, so we are able to make this improvement to your Backmate with just another $10k in funding! And don't forget to join me in the comments here, to give me your suggestions for the next stretch goal.

Day 8: 531% Funded, Media Reviews & Stretch Goal #1

Hello Backmate Backers!
I have some exciting news and announcements: Our Backmate Kickstarter community is now 676 members strong, two great independent reviews of the Backmate were published on the web and we are releasing our first stretch goal - right here!
Independent Reviews:
You don't have to take just our word for it anymore, now you can read/watch what other people are saying about The Backmate. Spolier alert: they are loving it!
Several Silicon Valley entrepreneurs review The Backmate after using it in their office in ReadWrite. Editor Deanna Ritchie writes, "the Backmate has given me hope of pain relief". Click here to read the article.
YouTube Pro Sid Scheck does a deep dive into The Backmate set up, uses, design, etc. As Sid says, "I'm going to be using this so often". Check it out below or click here to view it on YouTube.
and now for the part you've all been waiting for ...
Stretch Goal #1:
As I'm sure you already know (and if you don't, that's our fault), the rollers on The Backmate are easily removed with a press of a button! That means you can replace them with other shapes and sizes - which brings me to our first stretch goal that by now I'm sure you've already guessed. But, drum roll pllleeeeassssee ......... If we reach $100,000 in funding, backers will get a free set of blade-shape rollers with each Backmate! These rollers are great for getting deeper into your shoulders, traps, neck and pretty much just about anywhere that you want to do some deep tissue massage. You are going to love them! Check out the campaign page here for a cool GIF of how it works.
Give Us Your Suggestions for Stretch Goal #2
We would love to hear you suggestions for our next stretch goal! Please give them to us in the campaign page comments here.
As we wrap up Day 7, I just want to share how excited I am to have every single one of you on board for this journey. Say hi or share a thought anytime you feel like it. And please share this campaign with a friend you care about, who has neck pain or a bad back: http://35.kck.to/Y2kJLVX/. The more great people who join us, the faster we can learn from each other, grow and get pain relief.
Talk soon,
Eric
Health Tip #2
Reduce cramping, muscle spasms and muscle tension: Why do muscle cramps and spasms return to the same location? Though you may have been told it's from dehydration, it's much more likely coming from a hyperactive nervous system. If you are experiencing spasms in your back or any other muscle group, deep tissue rolling or trigger point works quickly to calm the nervous system and those miserable spasms that keep you from getting out of bed or lock you up with headaches.
Please help us continue spreading the word about natural, lasting solutions for pain relief.
