A Message from Rosa

Dear MaskRadar team, supporters and fans, Some updates for you: 1. Status and development of www.maskradar.de We launched our site with self-registration options for shops on Apr, 23 in Germany with 40 shops. By now we have more than 90 shops live. We received a lot of positive feedback from users and also shop owners. Even though the restrictions in Germany are changing and many shops can now re-open again, there are still many business owners who are not allowed to continue their business like gyms for example. One gym (www.crazy-sports-augsburg.com) is also live on MaskRadar and sells amazing masks to save their business. We’re still working on the further development of the site by including filtering options and offline shops. 2. Communication, PR - Another newspaper article was published in Anton’s (my brother and MaskRadar co-founder) and my hometown Pforzheim (reach of 350,000 readers) to talk about MaskRadar - The German digital marketing magazine Adzine wrote an article about MaskRadar: https://www.adzine.de/2020/04/digital-experten-schaffen-vergleichs-website-fuer-gesichtsmasken/ - My former colleague, Stephan Theiss, interviewed me to kick-off the interview series on digital success stories for his company Digital Mindset. You can see the interview in German here: https://digitalmindset.de/erfolgsgeschichte1-maskradar - A radio interview will follow in the upcoming days - We started a series of videos with tips and tricks on masks, e.g. which masks to wear when you wear glasses and don’t want your glasses to mist up while wearing a mask, which masks fit best for tall people with big heads etc.: The videos are available here (more English subtitles will follow): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz7vjB5D9XswPxagI7uC77q3lAwhu7vIe Big thanks to my former colleague Jawwad Channa for making these videos a reality. Enjoy your hopefully sunny weekend, 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.
