Lights. Camera. Action.
Last time we sold the Eveready Compact LED Area Light, we fucked up. Bad. As in, we sent people cameras instead of lanterns. People were like “Oh, my Meh order has arrived, now I shall enjoy 360-degree illumination from three bright white LEDs for up to 53 hours- WTF CAMERA?”
It was such an expensive blunder that we choked down what little pride we have left and went begging those people to buy the video camera or send it back. It’s a testament to our audience’s graciousness that more of them didn’t say “Screw you! If you guys can’t tell the difference between a camera and a lantern, I’m keeping the free camera.”
Which brings us to today’s stress test. We’re spitting in the eye of fate by intentionally putting the lantern and the camera in the same sale. One is a bright LED lamp perfect for lighting up your tent while camping; the other is a wireless, night-vision IP camera you can pan, tilt, zoom, and watch from any Internet-connected device. Will we be able to tell the difference?
It’s a lesson they don’t teach at Internet school: to succeed in ecommerce, you have to understand the distinction between a lantern and a camera. OK, yeah, the words “LANTERN” and “CAMERA” look kind of similar in near-darkness. But that’s no excuse considering one is a night-vision camera and the other is A LIGHT. Illumination is not the issue here.
That’s why we need you to push our camera-and-lantern-identifying skills to their utmost limits. Choose one, or both, in any combination up to three. Two cameras. Three lanterns. Two cameras and a lantern, then have your spouse order two lanterns and one camera to the same address. We’ll get it right or die trying.
Come at us, bro. Do your worst. It’s the only way we’re ever going to learn. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Or bankrupt. Either way, it won’t be a problem anymore.
