I agree that the $450 price tag is too steep. At a stretch, I think that anything more than $100 is not attractive, even if its a novelty item. Why don't you raise the money for mass scale production on Kickstarter. IMO its better to sell 10 K for $100 than a few hundred at $450.

#32Branding, maybe just send along a pack of stickers, so if someone wants a facebook tracker, they just apply the facebook sticker, etc. Maybe just a template that people can print their own branding, etc. then you don't need to print anything on your end!

#33One could also build a version of this with a Raspberry Pi, LCD screen an a little scripting for less than $60.

#34This is genius and fills a real need, here's why: I've spent the last two years building out a customer acquisition program for a brick & mortar chain with ~50 locations. We CONSTANTLY try to train the people in the store to ask for reviews / likes / etc which is a cornerstone of local SEO and the customer acquisition process.

You should definitely make it easy for them to "like" the store they are in while they are on their visit. I understand that searching for he business on the mobile device would work, but if there was faster way, you should consider adding it as an upgrade.

#36This is a cool idea. Although isn't 5 digits a little limited?
We've build this device for local businesses such as little stores, shops, bars, restaurants...etc, it seems that the average number of fans of these types of fan pages is comprised between 0 and 99 999 fans.. Plus we are sure that Facebook pages with over 100 000 fans would prefer a custom version of Fliike.

#39Interesting. My local chipshop has had a like us on Facebook sign up for the past year. They have 13 likes.. The only use for this I can see is in an office so everyone can see the count going up. Putting it on the shop front of a small business would be a bit embarassing as the majority of small businesses have a miniscule number of likes..
