I don’t know about you, but at our house date nights are RARE!  With our busy work schedules and 2 little ones, it can sometimes be more of a hassle to plan a date night than to just skip it altogether.  But, I know how important spending time together as a couple is for our marriage…especially now that kids have entered the equation.  So what do you do for date night?  Movies are expensive, and…

There must be something in the air when users pitch their ideas on LaunchSky, because we have another launched product that's ready for some love! Whether you are ready or not to take the 'plunge,' the importance of getting feedback is continually being validated by our increasing number of launched ideas.

Our newest product comes from Cory, who co-founded Datelivery with his wife. Datelivery is a monthly date idea subscription box, providing planned out dates to enjoy in the comfort of your home.

Before Cory and his wife decided to pitch their idea, Datelivery wasn't even on the radar.

"We signed up with hopes that at some point we could leverage the community to validate any future startup ideas we had."

But just as love can sometimes come as a surprise, so did their idea. Like many other entrepreneurs, they found a problem, and figured out a way to fix it for themselves and other couples alike.

"We said we wouldn't allow date night to become routine, so we started creating our own unique at-home date nights."

As a result, Datelivery was born. Throughout the process of validating and developing their idea to the point of launching, they learned a lot through pitching on LaunchSky.

#1: There is no such thing as a "perfect" time or scenario.

You'll never know if your idea is worth it if you don't pitch it.

#2: Feedback reflects what your consumers want.

Their most visited page on their website came from comments in Launchsky.

#3: LaunchSky is a no-risk platform to put your idea out there.

We make it easy and problem-free to get feedback on your ideas.

Like you, we are contantly improving our product, and love your feedback. If you have anything you want to see on LaunchSky, shoot us an email. We are so proud of Datelivery, and wish the same success on all of our users.

Read the full Datelivery interview:

Datelivery is a monthly subscription box, focused on providing unique date night experiences for couples to enjoy in the comfort of their homes.

Each month, subcribers receive a themed date night delivered to your door, planned out for your and your mate.

What inspired you to start Datelivery?

After we got married, one piece of advice we received was “to never stop dating,” and that stuck with us. We wouldn’t allow for “date night” to turn into a routine dinner and a movie on the couch; or even worse completely stop; therefore, we started creating our own novel at home date nights. 

How did LaunchSky help you validate your idea? 

After our idea was posted, we immediately began to receive extremely positive feedback from the community that let us know our idea was a good idea and something people could see themselves using. Even when we received comments that were not 100% positive, they always came with great feedback and all seemed to fit the same theme; therefore, allowing us to take the feedback and immediately apply it to our idea and make adjustments. Prior to launching we did not plan to have a "past boxes" page (to see date nights we offered), but based on the feedback we received from Launchsky, we ended up adding one to our site. To date, analytics has shown that this page is the most visited page on our site! 

How important is continued feedback to your product?

Continued feedback is invaluable with our particular business model. Each month, we take on the daunting task of completely planning a unique and fun date night that is going to appeal to a mass number of couples. Those couples are all different and unique themselves, so feedback we get from them helps us to tailor the date nights towards our customer base each month. Feedback also lets us know when we’ve hit or missed the mark with a particular date night/theme and what we can do differently, do better, or simply continue to do.

Any lessons learned that you would be willing to share with other Launchskyers? 

The greatest lesson we can pass along is to not wait or allow fear, the unknown or waiting for the perfect idea or scenario to come along to launch your idea. It will never come! We have wanted to be entrepreneurs for so long and kicked around so many good ideas, but we continued to find reasons not to move forward each time. It wasn’t until we came up with Datelivery, and finally decided it was now or never that we took the plunge. If you’re not 100% sure about your idea, LaunchSky is the perfect no-risk platform to simply put the idea out there to a great community and begin collecting feedback and validating your idea. From there, you can decide if the idea is something real people would want to use and or pay for and then move forward or revise your idea.
