TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Public relations agency PRmediaNow helped crowdfunding clients raise more than $10 million in 2019, totaling over $75 million in presales for crowdfunders on Kickstarter and Indiegogo since 2013. The Tampa-based PR firm also received numerous public relations awards for crowdfunding PR along the way.
"We were excited to work with our long-time client partners, along with many new crowdfunders, who launched innovative products that benefit consumers," said PRmediaNow Principal Colin Trethewey. "Their success shows that crowdfunding continues to offer a viable product launch option for companies in attracting funding to take their products from idea to commercialization."
The firm's most funded products in 2019 included Baubax Travel Pants, which raised more than $3.2 million, the Nomatic Camera Bag, which has raised nearly $2.4 million to date, rolling travel luggage from Nomatic that has raised nearly $1.4 million, and travel shoes from Baubax, which have raised nearly $1.3 million in presales from crowdfunding backers.
"In 2019, travel-related products were in high demand among crowdfunding consumers, and travelers always seem to be willing to try out the newest, most innovative technologies to help them make their trips easier and as hassle-free as possible," Trethewey said. "We continue to find that the most successful crowdfunding campaigns introduce products that offer an innovative solution, solving common problems for consumers."
Some other notable PRmediaNow client campaigns in 2019 included Duotek, an ultra-light-weight, reflective and reversible jacket that raised nearly half a million dollars during crowdfunding, GoRelax, an acupuncture-based massage mat that raised nearly $250,000, and the Pix Mini, a kid's smart backpack that raised more than $200,000 through crowdfunding.
