Case Study: Ramos Alarm Clock achieves $150K+ Kickstarter success and streamlined fulfillment with Shopify

Ramos Alarm Clock - Customer Case Study

Ramos Alarm Clock is a Hoboken-based maker that built a mechanical alarm clock to solve the founder’s chronic snoozing problem. Frustrated with oversleeping, the team designed and hand-makes a clock that physically forces users out of bed and set out to turn that idea into a business.

They launched on Kickstarter, raised $150K, and opened a Shopify store to sell the clocks. Early sales came from Kickstarter and heavy media coverage, and today gadget blog posts drive the most traffic. They use Shopify for order management, fulfill orders in-house via UPS WorldShip, and recommend new ecommerce founders devote as much effort to marketing as to product development.
