Snotes and Softball

By

Snotes believes strongly in community; we believe that supporting and committing to community is key to happiness and success. As part of that commitment, we’ve engaged 30 St. Louis area community businesses to help bring Snotes to fruition. Today we share with you the community support we received to help make our Indiegogo campaign a success.

“We set up a competition for individuals and non-profits to help us gather donations,” says Joe Bayer, Partner with The Fleur de Lis Group, creators of Snotes. “Our goal was not to reward the largest donor but to recognize the group who had the largest number of participants, no matter the size of the donation.”

Snotes is excited to announce our winner, the women’s softball team from Fontbonne University. They brought in 105 donations for our campaign! “They really stepped up to the plate,” shares Joe.

Geri Glixman sponsored the team; “I heard about the opportunity and shared it with the student-athletes. They spread the word to encourage others to make a donation.” She goes on to share, “I fully expected them to win. These young women are amazing and dedicated to every aspect of their lives.”

It’s not unusual for this team to win, not only on the field, but also in the classroom. Maria Eftink, Director of Athletics at Fontbonne University says, “The thing that stands out is their team spirit and their commitment to support something greater than themselves.”

The women’s softball team works hard to support the future of both the softball program as well as their own individual futures. Maria continues, “These girls have top ranked GPAs in rigorous majors, they set themselves up for future success beyond softball.”

As to their current record, Maria shares, “They have won their conference for the past five years, advancing onto the NCAA Tournament. They truly are a hard team to beat in more ways than one,” says Maria.

Snotes donated $3,000 to the team for their efforts. We look forward to following the continued success of the Fontbonne women’s softball team and we cannot wait to see what these amazing young women will bring to the future!

Snotes Goes Back to School

By

Recently, the kids went back to school and in a sense, so did Snotes.  We are teaching and educating people about Snotes, while at the same time learning from our fans as to how they use Snotes.

On the teaching side, we have created a short video to walk people through the simple process of creating a Snote. Starring our Ambassador, Shoshana, this video is a great tool to share with friends and family. We know how tongue-tied one can become when trying to explain what a Snote is, and how to make one; this video does a wonderful job of showing just how easy it is to create and share Snotes with your own fans.

We are also excited to exhibit at the upcoming TEDxGatewayArch Show Me Design show at Wash U.  What a perfect opportunity for us to spend time with the innovative minds of St. Louis, be on site at a highly regarded educational institution, and teach people, one-on-one, the magic of Snotes.  Not only have we been asked to exhibit, but we will also be greeting guests with a “complimentary compliment” -Snotes style.

We are always looking to attract more “students” to our Snotes School. To find even more fans, we’ve engaged Channel 11 to spread the word with an enticing and easy to enter contest; be sure to enter today for your chance to win $1,000 Visa Gift Card. And share the contest on your social media with your friends; let’s get everyone to join in on the fun. It’s FREE, all you have to do is like” us on Facebook!

As any good teacher knows, learning from your students is all a part of the exchange. Here are a few lessons we’ve learned from our fans:

  • Keep Snotes in mind as a fun way to say “Happy Birthday” to your Facebook friends. We offer birthday-themed Snotes, as well as many other themes that speak to your friends’ hobbies, interests and more.
  • If you want to send the same message to a number of friends at once, make your Snote and email it to yourself.  Then you can forward it to your list and send out a “Congratulations,” or “Way to Go,” to your whole team.
  • While we’re so very excited about our Indieogogo Campaign to raise funds for a mobile app to create and send Snotes on the go (we’ve raised over $17K so far!), our Snotes Quotes game app continues to be a big hit. If you have yet to play, give it a try and “meet” other Snotes Quotes players.

Thank you for allowing us to continue to teach you about Snotes and thank you for your willingness to share your great Snotes ideas with us.  If you have any other ideas, be sure to tell us on our Facebook page!

 

Snotes is Being Seen

By

Since the official launch of Snotes, we have been busy (and having quite a bit of fun) watching new people come like our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and donate to our Indiegogo Campaign page.  So far we have raised over $5K in funds and are getting a bit closer to creating the much-anticipated Snotes app. This app will allow for you to make and send Snotes on the go, giving you more flexibility and ease on sending Sntoes. People are not only seeing the value in the app, but we have received rave reviews about the cool gifts and goodies available; a small donation is guaranteed to bring great fun to your world. Be sure to check it out at http://igg.me/at/snotes4us and share the page with your social friends (just copy and paste the link above in your posts).

We invite you to keep up with new Snotes goings on by visiting our New Stuff page. It’s a great place to keep up with us, as well send people who wonder What‘s a Snote? Or need a quick lesson on how to Read that awesome Snote you just sent their way.

Have you made a Snote lately? If not, go do so today. Before you do, ask yourself this question; “Who do I know that needs a bit of cheering up?” That person needs a Snote! Send them a supportive, or fun, or heart-felt Snote message today. Just a few words and clicks will up add up to making their day many times brighter!

We have another exciting announcement to share. TEDxGatewayArch has approached us and asked us to participate in their upcoming Show Me Design event. This is St. Louis Design Week flagship event and will be held on September 23rd at Washington University. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design and is dedicated to showcasing leaders in innovation. We were so excited when they came to us and shared that we represented innovation in all three of their main categories; technology, entertainment and design!  We will be at the event greeting guests with “complementary compliments” via Snotes, as well as demonstrating how to create and send Snotes.

Please come join us at this special event, and while you’re there, we’ll give you your own secret compliment, help you send a Snote to your innovative someone, and together we can become inspired by a motivating speaker line up, all with design in mind.

Happy day to you and Snote On!
