Worldwide Pivo Sales Clear $1 Million
We’re delighted to announce that globally, Pivo sales have surpassed over $1mil dollars — with almost 10,000 orders placed.
An achievement five years in the making
Just eight months after it was first officially made available for purchase, Pivo sales reached almost 10,000. Additionally, Pivo sales have just surpassed $1,010,826, while backer support continues to rise.
Starting small, not thinking small
In the first weeks of its Kickstarter campaign, the majority of backer support and crowdfunding came from the US — expected given the US is one of Kickstarter’s biggest markets. But the fact that 44% of Pivo’s overall sales are generated outside of the US shows its universal appeal, and means there’s plenty more room to grow.
Undeniably, Pivo continues to intrigue the world’s content creation community, having recently added 10,000 backers to its list of startup milestones.
- (May 2019) Final Kickstarter backer shipment of 7,100 Pivos concludes
- (June 2019) Indiegogo backer shipments underway
- List of total current backers reaches more than 10,000 worldwide from over 90 countries
Turning a smartphone into a cameraman
Aspiring artists, creators, travelers, entrepreneurs, influencers, streamers and industry leaders are afforded the power to capture more creative content with just their smartphone and Pivo. And best of all: users can photograph and film themselves without bothering someone else to do it for them.
In light of the early feedback and postings shared to the Pivo community, its clear that company is headed in the right direction.
“I just got my Pivo and it’s amazing. Works perfect and I was using it without reading the guide within 30 seconds. I’m massively impressed. Silent mechanism and works exactly as described. I’m telling my followers about this… Brilliant on all levels.” — Jaimee Kort (Los Angeles, USA)
“Absolutely recommend this nifty little device. You no longer have to rely on the front camera to film yourself. This uses the back camera too. Great build quality & finish. Fell in love with it within seconds.” — Z Yar Khan (India)
“Amazing compact tool for my broadcasting sessions. I was lucky to test Pivo at London Design Fair 2018.” — Milen Petkov (Norway)
Global retail and wholesale distribution coming soon
Consequently, Pivo expects to leave the crowdfunding arena and prepare for direct e-commerce integration through Shopify with an official launch planned for Summer. Currently in the planning stages for its global distribution structure, Pivo expects to begin shipping wholesale in the fall.
