I was waiting 1 year for this day! Product is live
by Samuel BriskarToday is a huge day!|
After all, we have our first version of the Photoshop plugin, which is generating ad banners.
AND WE GOT 100 NEW ACCOUNTS.
Throughout our alpha, beta programme, I got 250 e-mail addresses on designers which I reached.
Also I was active in facebook groups which helped me to get new people. My focus is to build good relationship with them, because I have some other ideas in my head. Ideas which can help other designers to be more productive.
Take a look - www.bannerium.com and give me your opinion.
Follow my story, because it will be a ride.
BTW: It will be interesting to see, how many of them will be willing to pay.

Congrats! The product seems like a huge time saver. Are you planning to release Figma or Sketch plugin as well? My view is probably very biased (I am a software engineer), but Figma seems to be widely adopted within my designer friends lately.

Patresk, thanks a lot! I was asking where people are doing banners and Photoshop won. It seems that "graphic design" as traditional one is still in Photoshop and slightly changing. I am planning to do sketch or Figma plugin, too. I believe it will be easier to do there, then in Photoshop.
Figma and Sketch is popular among UI or UX designers, but we will see. If there is market, I will be there, too :)

Could you please elaborate on being active in facebook groups and how you approached that to get people interested in what you were doing?

Yes, sure.
My product has niche market - graphic designers who do lot of ad banners. On the other hand there are marketers who want to test different versions of the same visual. So also marketers can do some banner sets.I joined local (Slovak and Czech) groups which were specialised for those personas (using term from design thinking). I inserted what I was working on and that I am seeking for their feedback. People were interested in the solution and I got these people. The thing is, that I was active several months on these groups and people knew that I try to solve their problem. I started from alpha version to beta until the product was live. You can see my whole story via milestones here on indiehackers.
Adam, did I answer your question?
