Hi, I’m Remy Tucker, founder of On The House Group, a 25 year old Brisbane-born woman on a mission to make period products free for every girl and woman.
Did you know that two-thirds of women struggle to afford period care? It’s not just a global issue; it’s happening right here in Australia.
When studying to be a midwife, I saw this reality firsthand, mothers choosing between formula and period products, girls missing school, and women missing work.
It’s a crisis that not many people are aware of, leading to inequality, and it lit a fire in me to create change.
I’ve spent years refining my skills in business and marketing to turn this mission into a reality. Inspired by innovative advertising-for-good models, I started working on On The House Group in 2022.
Through a simple yet powerful concept, we use advertising revenue to fund free, eco-friendly period products distributed via digital dispensers, that also give back to charity.
This isn’t just about products, it’s about equality and ensuring no woman has to make choices like these.
This our first ever crowdfunding campaign aims to raise the funds to install five stocked dispensers across Brisbane, providing free period products in community space bathrooms like universities, shopping malls, parks and schools.
This is the start of something big, and we need your help to make it happen. Together, we can create a world where period poverty no longer exists.
What We Need
On the House needs $100,000 to get our first 5 dispensers up and running. Here’s where your contribution will go:
- Dispenser Purchase: $33,000
- First Month’s Stock for 5 dispensers: $31,428
- Shipping & Import Costs: $12,474
- Installation: $2500
- Service & Maintenance: $4,800
- Marketing & Campaign Design: $5000
- Additional Operational Costs: $5,052 (logistics, legal, insurance, software)
- IndieGoGo Fees: $5000
Perks for Contributors
- Start a movement for women. Your sister, your mum, your niece, your nan. They are all, in some way, affected by this issue.
- Personal recognition for your involvement in this campaign.
- Behind-the-scenes updates on the campaign's progress.
- Exclusive first look at our campaign results and impact.
If I don’t reach our full goal, we’ll adjust to cover one-time costs like dispenser purchase and marketing, ensuring our launch still moves forward.
The Impact
Your contribution will kick start a movement for the World. Beyond these first five dispensers, this fund raise opens doors for future dispensers nationwide & internationally, tackling period poverty at scale.
Our aim is to distribute free, sustainable period products to over 2 MILLION AUSTRALIAN WOMEN in the next 3 years.
Risks & Challenges
To be transparent, launching a completely new concept comes with challenges, but I'm ready.
Here’s what I'm up against:
- Proof of Concept: Our success hinges on showing our first dispensers work and delivers value to both women and advertisers.
- Logistical Hurdles: Ensuring smooth operations and logistical strategies.
- Scaling Up: Building trust with partners and venues to expand the network of our dispensers.
I'm confident because I’ve spent years refining our model, negotiating with suppliers, and understanding the market. Plus, with your support, I’ll have the resources to deal with anything that comes my way.
