Our Story
Jack and I (Joey) met in the very small town of Bartow, Florida. We both played basketball and baseball, while baseball was our true passion. After high school Jack attended Princeton University and I, Vanderbilt University. We were both members of the collegiate baseball teams there. Luckily, we had a chance to play summer collegiate baseball together for the Newport Gulls in the great town of Newport, Rhode Island. Jack was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2009 MLB draft and is currently a catcher in their minor league system. I have just graduated from Vanderbilt this spring and am putting things in place to begin my professional life outside of baseball.
Aside from being good friends, we have been working very hard to make Loyalty Bands a reality since we originally came up with the idea. It is one we are both very excited about and one that we believe has great potential. Yet since Jack is still in the minor leagues and I am a recent graduate, we are not in the financial position to start producing and selling Loyalty Bands.
This is why we need your help. Anything that you can contribute or do to help us make Loyalty Bands a success would be very, very appreciated. Once we reach our funding goal of $40,000, we will be able to instantly start producing our product and selling it online.
We thank you in advance and please take some additional time to watch the video above if you haven't already.
What are Loyalty Bands?
Loyalty Bands provide a unique way for preteens/teens/young adults to show their status of "in a relationship." It is basically a wedding ring for younger couples. They are matching silicon bracelets that are engraved with a matching set of symbols. If you do not want the symbols, you can have your names engraved instead. Not only do they serve a purpose, but they look awesome.
We also plan on offering a variety of colors once Loyalty Bands become popular.
What We Need & What You Get
The money that we raise will be used to purchase both the bracelets and packages needed to produce 10,500 finished products (21,000 bracelets and 10,500 packages total). Each finished product consists of 2 bracelets inside of 1 package. The raised funds will also be used to purchase the machinery that we need in order to engrave each pair of Loyalty Bands with the appropriate names and symbols.
Aside from helping us fulfill our dream of becoming successful entrepreneurs, you get to help start the beginning of Loyalty Bands.
We can't thank you enough for taking the time to even consider this, so we will say it again: THANK YOU!
