Video of Borninfornia Shirt Production

Ever wonder how Borninfornia Shirts are printed?

Well now you know! 

This style of shirt printing is known as Direct To Garment (DTG) Printing. 

Pretty neat, huh?

Production Well Underway!

Hello Everybody!

It has been far too long since we have last checked in, hope you have missed us as much as we have missed you!

Here is just a little bit of what we have been up to. We have been working closely with a brand new printing agency right here in the heart of San Diego. They have been stellar so far and it is very exciting to be working with a fellow startup that is literally down the street from our two houses. Right now most of our Bear Republic Tees and Borninfornia Logo Tees have been printed! We will be sharing pictures very soon.

We finally have all of our ducks in a row as far as legality in the Golden State, it feels great to be prepared to sell clothing to individuals throughout California, the United States, and around the globe.

And finally, as we prep for shipping soon we have also been working on new designs that you are going to LOVE. As always, any suggestions are welcomed with open arms.

Goodbye for now, keep an eye out for pictures of your rewards coming soon!

11-days to go!

Borninfornia's Kickstarter Campaign is currently 89% funded with 11-days to go! We need a little over $500 to hit our campaign fundraising goal of $5,000. At this current moment, we need $44 per day to hit the campaign goal and we have a good feeling about it!

On a different note, the Borninfornia Blog has been visited over 6,000 times and we think that is pretty freakin sweet!

As always, we are eternally grateful for your support and taking the time to spread the word. It means the world to us!

If you want to check the campaign out or feel called to spread the word, here's the quick link: http://kck.st/14ED60N

Kickstarter Update #4 - Two Weeks Left!

Two Weeks Left! 

14-days!

and $679 to go!

Yesterday was a big day for Borninfornia. It started with the campaign being 81% funded with 59-backers and ended with the campaign being 86% funded from 68-backers. A couple more days like that and we will easily hit our funding goal of $5,000! 

Thanks again for all the support! If you had a moment and could share our campaign with your family and friends on your social media profiles, that would be awesome! You can use the link http://kck.st/14ED60N to share or visit the campaign. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate contacting us via email at borninfornia@gmail.com. 

Cheers,

Kickstarter Campaign Progress and Projection

Kickstarter Update #3 - Halfway Through!

Hey guys and girls! 

We hope everybody had a wonderful Labor Day weekend that was full of family, friends, and lots of fun!

MIA: First off, we wanted to apologize for being a bit MIA lately. Daniel and I both have full-time jobs that keep us extremely busy - I work as a brand manager for two San Diego-based ecommerce brands that requires a bit of traveling, MAGIC Apparel Tradeshow in Vegas two weeks ago and the Surf Expo in Orlando this coming weekend, while Daniel is working his butt off as he begins a new career in the finance industry. Although we both would much rather work on Borninfornia related tasks all day long, we know that the skills and experience we gain from our jobs will ultimately help us be successful in the long run. Despite our busy work schedules, we promise to be more active on all fronts - Kickstarter updates, blog posts, social media posts, etc as the Borninfornia Campaign continues to chug along.

Halfway Through: We are just about half-way through the campaign, 16-days left of the 30-day campaign, and are already over 80% funded! We are so stoked and grateful for all the support we have already received but we aren't quite to our ultimate goal of $5,000 yet. Just like we need your help and support to turn the Borninfornia dream into reality, we need your help and support to reach our fundraising goal by sharing our campaign with your friends and family. The easiest way to share the campaign is by clicking on the Facebook Share or Tweet buttons below the video section of our campaign. Or, you can use the shortened URL http://kck.st/14ED60N to create your own social media posts to help spread the word! If you could take a quick moment to share our campaign with your network that would mean the world to us!

Girls Just Want To Have Fun: We were stoked to finally get some ladies apparel up last week, the Women's Borninfornia Logo Tee and Women's Bear Republic Tee. If you haven't had a chance to check them out, peep them below, we think they are pretty rad! We are working on getting some ladies tanks up as soon as possible, hopefully sometime this week. We received samples from our supplier last week but the print location was way too low so we are having them redone to make sure the quality of the tanks are up to Borninfornia Standards. 

Welp - I think that is all for now. If anything else comes up we will be sure to let you guys know! Thanks again for all the support, you guys rock!

Best Wishes,

Andrew & Daniel

Borninfornia Press Release

Borninfornia Kickstarter Campaign is now LIVE

Dear Borninfornia Community,

Andrew and I have been working very hard over the past several months putting together this campaign. Tonight, it has finally gone live. We are looking to raise $5,000 by September 19th. We hope you like what we have created as much as we do.

Ladies, please note that we will have women's apparel added in a few days. Please be patient!

Please take a look at our Kickstarter page, have a look around, watch the video. We hope you will make a pledge and get rewarded with one or more of our products! Equally important is to share with your friends. If we do not reach the $5,000 the campaign fails, no one gets anything - no money is taken, no money is received.

Thank you all so much for following our journey, we hope to have you continue to follow us for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Daniel Calvert & Andrew Sutton
Borninfornia's proud cofounders

Ladies, you will notice there are no current options for women's clothing. Something we are working on! We aim to add a "stretch goal" on Kickstarter with some women's options. Please send us any and all of your great suggestions!

Hope you all like them! And please let us know what you think, we love feedback!

Best Wishes,

Video Is Done!

The Borninfornia Promotional Video, shot and edited by our good friend from middle school and high school, Jeffery Adam, is done! He completed the whole process much quicker than anticipated and that means we are that much closer to submitting Borninfornia's Statewide Collection to Kickstarter.com.

I really, really, really, really wish I could show you the video right now but you will have to wait until the Borninfornia Statewide Collection Campaign launches on Kickstarer.com. Once that happens, we will provide links on this blog for you to visit the campaign to check out the video as well as post the video on YouTube and this blog.

It's crazy to think how close we are to launching Borninfornia with a Statewide Collection. A little over a year ago, Borninfornia was something Danny and I would casually talk about whenever we had time. And now we are on the verge of making Borninfornia a reality!!

As always, we will keep everybody updated with Borninfornia's progress via this blog. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to hit us up via commenting on this blog or by emailing us at borninfornia@gmail.com.



Best Wishes,
Andrew
