It’s been a massive week for the team here at Kogan. We kicked it off with a media event on Tuesday to launch seven new products and have seen dozens of media articles come through with views and opinions on all of them. On Wednesday morning, Ruslan also flew to the United States to secure a warehousing deal that will assist with plans to launch Kogan in the North American market by the end of 2009.
We’re also planning to enter the European market by opening operations in the United Kingdom.
Perhaps the most exciting product launch this week was the announcement of a Wi-Fi capable digital photo frame that has attracted interest from as far away as the UK with a story in The Mirror. The Wi-Fi photo frame is a great tool to share photos with people from anywhere in the world – it can link to Flickr, Facebook photos and other social networking sites like Twitter and display these on the frame. This product is on pre-sale now for a mid-July dispatch.
Other products launched this week include:
- Kogan Wi-Fi Digital Radio
- Kogan Blu-ray player 2.0
- Kogan 1080p-22 –22” Full HD LCD TV
- Kogan Full HD 1080p Camcorder with HDMI-out
- Kogan EVINAVG3 GPS
- Kogan Multi-function Digital Photo Frames
Before week’s end, Ruslan also landed a spot in the Business Review Weekly (BRW) Fast Starters for 2009 – at number 37 out of 100. BRW Fast Starters profiles the top 100 fastest growing start-ups in Australia.
There is a lot happening at the moment and we are - as always - interested to hear what you guys think of the new products. We also want to know what you think about Kogan launching in America and the UK?
