Be the good. Share the good.
With only four days left, and as many contributors, to fund our Indiegogo campaign, the OmniSom Pillow team find themselves contemplating a more comprehensive method for expressing their vision.
First and foremost, we strive to constructively contribute to the betterment of our fellow man. The OmniSom Pillow may not possess any novel and complex coding, a USB port, or require energy, but is simply the result of human ingenuity to solve a problem and the tenacity to bring it to fruition. Such simplicity in no way diminishes the quality of the OmniSom Pillow's potential to improve the human condition, as attested by the countless studies, performed by doctors and scientists the world over, attempting to quantify the impact of sleep quality on every aspect of human health and wellbeing. Better sleep has been proven to positively impact weight management, stress, mental acuity, and physical energy. Imagine the possibilities in an OmniSom Pillow world, a world full of happier, healthier, and smarter people!
The beneficial impact is not limited to those experiencing the OmniSom effect and is even greater on the individuals in our community that will contribute their labors in exchange for a wage enabling them to support themselves and their families. A truly novel idea in the current employment market in New Orleans. In a city with a tourism dependent economy, home-grown pillow manufacturing would provide a stable counterpoint to the seasonal dependence and interests of the tourism industry. Nothing against tourism, or multi-location business,but sometimes their lack of familiarity with the community prevents them from foreseeing potential consequences. Fortunately, New Orleans has an active and vocal citizenry, adding another voice with substantial interests in the community strengthens the potential for preferable outcomes. We like to refer to this as the "Everybody Benefits Model," where each and every person involved with an OmniSom Pillow from the fiber grower to the package deliverer and end user benefit from their involvement.
Our national economy is at a major cross-roads. The success of crowdfunding proves the viability of alternatives to the prevailing corporate financing model. Employee happiness is continually proven to improve efficiency and performance. The emergence of tech companies rivaling the size of established MNCs, without the constraints of traditional corporate culture foreshadow what is essentially a generational shift. However, such progress is not ensured, but requires continual effort by community minded individuals like you, yourself. If you've ever had a problem with America's diminishing domestic manufacturing industry, not earning enough to live on, environmental responsibility, workers' rights, human rights, or you just hate your pillow, the OmniSom Pillow is the solution. YOU can be a part of the solution, or however the saying goes, we have faith in you.
