My thoughts: - "Trailmix" is too generic. Do an alternate version of the site named hackersnacker.com or something like that and market it as the perfect food

My thoughts:
- "Trailmix" is too generic. Do an alternate version of the site named hackersnacker.com or something like that and market it as the perfect food to have in a bowl next to your keyboard. In line with this, add chocolate-covered coffee beans to the mix along with other hacker-freiendly treats (sweet tarts, etc). Sell it to the audience you know.
- Anti-alias the various ingredients so that the images look more natural. The white boarders around the nuts don't make it seem very appetizing.
- Add a facebook "like" button so your friends and family can get the social graph rolling.
- dicroce 14y agoCool. :) "HackerSnacker.com"... Or perhaps "BackPackerFuel.com"... You know, chocolate covered espresso beans are already on there.
- sixQuarks 14y agoThis is great advice. It's infinitely easier to market something that's targeted very specifically, rather than trying to be something for everyone. Start with the "hacker" market and branch out as you grow. Try a reddit ad, offer a coupon to redditors on their first order. Contact bloggers and journalists that write about startup culture, etc.
