Do I need any dust filters for Benq W2720i?

Hey guys recently bought the Benq W2720i and mounted it onto the ceiling. I noticed that the vents on either side are pretty "exposing" like I can see the electronics clearly inside through the vent and am worried about dust entering.

I was thinking of getting this DIY dust filters for PCs and putting them onto the vents. Is this a good idea or not?

Eng student: Need advice about market validation

Hi all,

I am an engineering student developing a new hardware product and wanted to validate consumer demand via ads to check business feasibility.

I have a budget of around $500, and I want to test if people are willing to pay a small amount as a deposit for the product before I spend more time and money into developing a commercial version. However, as I haven't really done social media marketing before I wanted your advice to improve my website, ads or any other tips for me.

This is my product website: ridevyzor.com

These are the ads I created: https://imgur.com/a/9m7jF6z

What is the rule for ad spend? Is that the main thing?

I have been lurking around the past few weeks to learn about FB ads as I am an engineering student developing a new hardware product and wanted to validate consumer demand via ads to check business feasibility.

Most of the posts/comments mention about high ad spend in a manner that gives me the impression that meta will be able to sell anything as long as you are able to pay them lots of money?

The product I'm developing will be priced around 400-500 USD, and I wanted to check if even a few people (like 10-20) would buy it by having a landing page and "faking it" as if the business already exists. My budget for ads was around $500. Is that too low/unrealistic? How much daily ad spend is required? Are there any other things that I need to know?

How to validate a "fake" consumer product with ads?

Hey everyone!

I'm an engineering student and I built a hardware device as a personal project, that I want to commercialize and turn into a business. I have a basic prototype and making it into a full fledged product will take a good amount of time and money. Therefore, before approaching investors or grants, a mentor told me to validate the demand by seeing if customers are willing to pay.

I have been advised to try and "fake it till you make it" by creating a landing page with product renders and a $20 refundable pre-order deposit. Then run ads to validate the market.

I would like to know what is the best way to achieve this? I probably wouldn't want to spend more than $500 and I'm from Canada. I don't intend to make a profit per se right now, but my main goal is to validate the demand for my product. My other concern is how would I know if I'm falling because of my product or the ads.

Need advice about creating a landing page and running ads to validate product

Hey everyone,

I am college student working on a consumer product idea that I had, and recently finished building a proof of concept/prototype. I took that and went around my city talking to owners of retail stores to get their opinions, as they would know the customers best, and out of 11 stores I was able to get 7 of them to sign LOIs, but honestly I feel like only 4 of them were "enthusiastic" about it.

I keep seeing advice about creating a landing page with a refundable deposit, and running some ads to validate the product demand.

I tried to learn from YouTube about running ads but there's a lot of varying information (mostly catered to drop shipping), so wanted to see how you guys approach it. Maybe a checklist of things that need to be on the landing page would be great as well!

I feel like it would be a bummer to not see results because I didn't know how to properly setup my page and run ads. Or, maybe I'm just telling myself this excuse because I'm scared that my product might fail lol 😂
