News from Rosa

Happy Monday dear MaskRadar team, supporters and fans, some MaskRadar updates for you: 1. New website Our new website with an updated design and self-registration for online-shops went live last Friday evening: www.maskradar.de (site is in German only) By now we have more than 40 online shops live on the site. The shops are usually small shops covering different mask types, materials, designs, price ranges and even special masks for children or cyclists. I would like to give a huge shout-out to all the people who worked on the technical implementation of the site. From our core team: Anton Klotz (Co-Founder of MaskRadar who had the original idea for MaskRadar and who is my brother), Klemens Dreesbach (our UX expert who always focuses on the user experience). Above all a big thanks to Dennis Nissen, who built the site backend and frontend in many free hours. Dennis is the CEO of Naymspace, a software developmement company. We have a lot of ideas how to further develop the site. As short-term next steps we want to optimize the shop overview, add more filtering options and include a possibility to show offline shops as well. In order to bring these ideas into reality we're still looking for financial support through donations for example. If you'd like to help, you can donate here: https://www.betterplace.me/maskradar-corona-webseite We're also in contact with people in the US and UK to potentially bring MaskRadar to these countries as well. 2. Feedback from the public We have received a lot of great feedback from users. We're currently working on quantifying the feedback and traction of the site by analysing Google Analytics metrics (e.g. number of users, pageviews, time spent on site...). The mask situation in Germany is changing: From today on it is mandatory to wear masks in many places like supermarkets and public transport. MaskRadar was also featured in a local newspaper from Hanau with a full page article. In Hanau it has become mandatory to wear masks since last Monday and Anna Schmitt (the marketing expert from our core team) actually grew up in Hanau, see the article attached. MaskRadar was also featured in a podcast in the UK that was set up by Matt Pattinson and his agency Ten that focuses on raising awareness for wearing masks in the UK.
