Very cool. Can I ask what marketing you do? Seems like it would be popular once people know about it, but that first step to building awareness must be tough.


Yes it is tough. It’s been mostly word-of-mouth growth. I’ve run lots of experiments and most of them don’t pan out. Like, recently I tried mailing a bunch of old school cassette walkmen with the above voicemails on them to the media along with a letter and sample photos (“just press play to hear it straight from happy recipients”). I sent 15 boxes and haven’t heard back on any. It feels like the kind of service that would do well on the news/etc so I’ll just keep trying!


I love this idea with the walkmen
