[Special Event] Call for Makers to Participate in the “Tech·Living Refresh” Special Event (~April 17)
🔧 The <Tech·Living Refresh> campaign is
a space designed to shift supporters’ focus—which tends to be on gifts for others when April arrives—back to “refreshing your own daily life”
and is dedicated to projects in the Tech & Appliances and Home & Living categories. As a fresh breeze blows in this spring, what new trends will emerge in the Tech & Living categories?
April and May, when gift-giving trends are at their peak, are a time when makers in the tech, home appliances, and home & living categories face a tough decision: how to position their projects as “self-indulgent purchases.”
To capitalize on this season, wadiz will be spotlighting makers’ tech and living projects under the theme “A Refresh for My Daily Life.”
Join us for the <Tech & Living Refresh> campaign to breathe new life into the Tech & Living category and use the results to plan your next steps.
The sales results from this campaign will mark the starting point.
