We like design A by SkipperLee

Nouns. An infinite work of moisturizing art. Fragrance free - for delicate skin.

This is a funny, thoughtful prop. A pharmacy / retail tag team with extensive wet wipe experience.

I appreciate the proposers attention to costs. Everything here is very reasonable, the unit costs, design and marketing costs, and the fact that they only get paid if they sell all of the items. These would continue to be on the market with no additional costs to the DAO. On a simple level - easy, affordable merch for IRL activations.

This feels like an entry point to a larger strategy and I'm excited to see where these efforts lead. I hope they continue to engage with designers on future projects, I don't know if I'm ever really willing to compromise on design quality. I hope they take their profits and reinvest into developing their own proliferation flywheel with this, contributing to future growth alongside Nouns DAO.

On a tangent. I wonder if low-cost high-volume items is good for developing the brand, or if we should be targeting boutique high end products. But the ask is so reasonable here, and this carries the potential of becoming a self-sustaining Nouns proliferating flywheel.

I say we let them wipe.

My thesis as a delegate is: “Nouns has a unique role in the ecosystem as a gathering place around public goods.”

My analysis of funding requests is:

• Is this a public good?
• Is this public good something that other organizations won’t fund, or that Nouns is uniquely best to fund?

This proposal wants to build a sustainable, profitable business. Which is excellent! But it’s not building a public good. Likewise, there are many outlets for funding CPG branding plays, though they do often require some upfront capital.

This proposal also feels like a “proliferate the meme” type of proposal, which is fun and interesting, but doesn’t serve public goods.

For this reason, I was tempted to vote Against. At the same time, as I was analyzing this proposal, I began to think of all of the ways this brand could serve public goods-oreineted goals.

The design contest is an obvious starting point. Inviting artists to participate, and ideally having commissions or a portion of the profits flow back to them, is one way. The community contributions are strong here, showing that this brand is already acting as a gathering place.

It could also help other groups bootstrap knowledge in building CPG brands. Ideally, the team could aid other groups wanting to launch Nouns-related CPG projects. In the long run, fewer of these projects would need to be funded by the DAO and could instead be funded by an ecosystem of self-sustaining CPG brands.

For this reason, my inclination is to say yes to experimentation. I’d want to wait and see how this plays out before approving similar props. Does this end up as a community driven CPG initiative? If so, amazing! Does this continue forever as a self-sustaining wet wipes business business? A wonderful thing, but probably something that should have been funded by other venues. I am in favor of this proposal, but would want to wait for results before voting for similar proposals in the future.

My favorite design is Option A.

I like it! I appreciate that they earnestly iterated on the feedback from the first proposal and came back with a better product and more thorough plans for distribution and marketing. It's the perfect amount of fun and weirdness for a Nouns prop at a reasonable ask.

love to see v2 props going back onchain incorporating feedback. proposers seem uniquely positioned to execute on their vision and the additional focus on marketing & distribution provides high conviction in getting the nouns brand+art in the eyes/hands of a ton of new people

Perfectly absurd. Design A!

As an avid consumer of Wet Wipes, I really don't think we need Nouns versions of them.

This is awesome! Seriously grateful to the team for taking the feedback and coming back with a much more detailed and exciting plan. I also love incorporating vote reasons as design votes :) I prefer design A.

I am skeptical of setting recommend retail below 1 USD, but defer to you all. Also unsure on the claim

Nouns Wet Wipes will become a permanent item in the market after this initial investment of USD 31,450 + 2 ETH.
but I hope it's true!

Good luck!

I mean, it's not that big of an ask. I think it's worth trying to see if we can get this distributed.

C please

love this fun and slightly absurd proposal. love the iteration from the previous proposal as well.

voting design A (even though I like C, I think A does a better job communicating that the thing inside is indeed wet wipes)

"Nouns Wet Wipes will become a permanent item in the market after this initial investment of USD 31,450 + 2 ETH (up from USD 19,050 prop 265)."

Voting on this being the case, will hold you guys to this standard.

fun and absurd swag that can be reused and memed. budget is well documented. appreciate the creators revising and returning with their idea. we vote for design C.

I was anti-Wet Wipes in the first prop, but this prop brought me around. A highly practical product that can get widespread use, and the designs are sick!

Interesting to see this proposal back on chain and I must say this is a much better version of it.
Honestly, my opinion has completely changed on this, to the point that I now think it's a great idea!

Renting the countertop space is a good marketing move, we'll certainly see a lot of impulse buys. I like the fact that we should be getting exposure to all kinds of different people, maybe it can lead to some novel things.

I am also satisfied with the financials proposed, especially the fact that it will be self-sufficient after selling out the first batch. Interested to see where this leads.
Voting for design (A)

Wet wipes are the new moonbeans.

Thanks to the proposers for iterating and coming back, looking forward to seeing these come to market.

It was very hard to choose a design (good problem to have), but I’m going with Skipper’s design (A.)

voting for design A. love how out-of-the-box and original this feels, kudos to the proposers. this is, imo, very memeable and could be referenced along the lines of 'nouns funds everything from 3000 prescription glasses to children in need to... wet wipes'. thank you for taking feedback from the previous proposal and coming back with a better prop.

C.

This team responded in a very Nounish way. As a dadlegate I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted wet wipes since voting Against the previous prop. When an infinite artwork can spawn slightly absurd but useful products and expose the brand to a non-Ethereum audiences then we are in the right track.

Lots of fun designs!

C

Fun, slightly absurd, yet useful - it promotes brand ubiquity and elicits a 'WTF' reaction.
I love design C and would like to see it for different nouns if possible.

You might call me fiscally conservative....but you will never call me unhygienic!

Design C

"A thoughtful token to be given out during events." nothing more nounish than handing out wet wipes at crypto events.

fun project, solid plan, great product - "i am strongly FOR this"

I vote for design A
