    So glad I stumbled onto this thread! I'm definitely buying a shower gem! It's exactly what I need. The tiles in my ensuite are crazy expensive and no way was I drilling into them so been trying to find an alternative! Yay!

    As for the site.. looks good to me other than the zoom issue.... And one tiny thing.. it says him & hers. But I'm pretty sure it should be his & hers.

    Good luck tomorrow!

    You have poor colour contrast between text colour and background on some sections, particularly the grey text on the light grey background. Change it to black text, and/or lighten the background shading.

    The FAQ approach is a bit dated, and a bit of a design cop-out. You should really have all this information in the appropriate place on the website, instead of pulling it all out separately in an FAQ.

    I recommend that you buy them tonight if you are as orders placed tomorrow may potentially be delayed depending on demand.

    Order in. Thanks for the heads up. Good luck tomorrow.

    The FAQ link on How to permanently remove the showergem links back to the installation video. No sign of a removal video.

    Looks good on an S9 edge.

    Only feedback I'd have is that I think you need sone sort of "about us" page. I like the look of the product but I've never heard of you. You need some blurb about your story with some personal information. Basically something that says who you are.

    Looks good on Xiaomi note 5.

    A discount code for boards.ie users would be a nice gesture!!

    I would get that sorted. It would be by far the main reason I wouldn't buy - I would be afraid that I would be left with this permanent thing on wall if I decided to change my mind down the line

    Great product, best of luck with it


  • Registered Users Posts: 838 ✭✭✭lucky john


    Best of luck on the Late Late. It's the kind of product everyone tuning in will have an interest in. Your couriers will need a bigger van next week.

    Think you could be right about late late show.
    Dermot Bannon is on it and I just cought part of the promo for it saying entrepreneurs. :)

    Great presentation and good branding which some others didn't have. Well done! Best of luck with more sales.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,569 ✭✭✭mugsymugsy


    Just seen you. Congrats think it went very well. Good exposure for you. Best of luck with the extra orders :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭Mac Taylor


    Well done on the tv, hope it goes well for you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭Nunu


    Looks like a really good no frills product and nice name for it too. Well done.

    Just a question on the glue. Presume it would also work just as well on a plastic wall like in a mobile home shower or does it have to go on tiles exclusively?

    Will do a proper post in a few days. Traffic was less than I thought but conversion rate was huge.

    What do people think the traffic was and I'll post the answer in a few days!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    I would guess around 100k in the hour after you were first on screen? Viewing figures for the late late are normally in the 500k-600k range right?

    Guessing there's a lot of packing up due on Monday morning lol!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,479 ✭✭✭Gloomtastic!


    I’d go for a 1% link rate so 5000-odd, converting 10% of them so 500 sales. Not a bad days work.

    Do I win a free set of Showergems? :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,075 ✭✭✭Jeff2


    I like what you added to the top of the site. :)

    As seen on the Late Late Show.

    However, you’ll probably get a few interesting calls on Monday when people start working again after the weekend. :D

    Just watched your late late segment a few minutes ago. I'm sure you rehearsed it but Ryan's one liners would have thrown me & I'd have forgotten something. Well done. My order went in Thursday night. Looking forward to getting it next week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 281 ✭✭Feets


    Is say 3 to 7k web hits.

    The rehearsal consisted of Ryan hearing me speak for 15seconds then he said 'you're fine, no need to hear anymore'. He likes to keep it natural so if he feels that you can talk then he skips the rehearsal so it was pure off the cuff!

    It can be hard to think when he comes out with one liners like when he said 'boom' when I put the glue onto the bracket. Especially since there are 5 huge cameras pointing straight at you!!!

    I'd have gone blank.

    Well done. :)

    Just watched the interview and showed my mum. Was introducing her to the magic of Chromecast, and she was more impressed with the ShowerGem, than with the fact that I was controlling her tv with my phone. :D An order is coming your way!

    Fair play. Great to see hard work paying off. Hope it works out really well.

    Been looking for something exactly like this so ordered straight away this evening.
    Please just work and don't be ****, please.


  • Registered Users Posts: 684 ✭✭✭zapper55


    I was not expecting to click on your link and find something I've needed for years! Brilliant idea. Best of luck with it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,075 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    Would it be an idea to be able to share your videos straight from the site? I wasn't able to do this. I had to search YouTube for the video so I could share it on Facebook
