Last Thursday, you all helped this campaign succeed! Since then, I've taken a few days to rest and also to complete the finalized design for the most popular option for the Stretch Goal sticker.
Enjoy the reveal of the polished sticker before we get down to next step details!
I hope you all enjoy the final version of the freebie sticker! The other two designs that were in the running may show up in my Etsy shop at a later point, but for now, ALL Backers of this campaign will be getting a freebie sticker of this design included in their pledge items!
The only thing you need to do is fill out your surveys (once they're sent out) to make sure you recieve your freebie. Those who do not have physical rewards will be able to choose whether or not they'd like to pay shipping for their freebie or if they'd prefer to skip out on the freebie instead of needing to pay shipping for it.
Timeline of Next Steps
And now to business! Here's what's going to be happening to get this campaign fulfilled. I'm currently waiting on the funds to transfer into my bank account, which is predicted to happen September 22nd. After this date, the real fun begins!
End of September - The funds transfer! I'll be opening up the Pledge Manager / Late Pledge Shop as soon as the funds transfer.
This Late Pledge Shop will be open for one week so that folks can pick up any extras they might've forgotten and late pledgers can have one final chance to hop in at the campaign price before the "Sworn Servant" prints goes up to $45 and is only available via my Patreon Secret Shop.
Early October - The Pledge Manager closes. I'll be locking surveys so I can take final manufacturing counts at this point so I can order all the supplies needed to fullfill this project.
Mid through Late October - Fulfillment begins! I plan to have everything shipped by end of October.
The Official Cut-Off Date - I'll be processing any requested refunds until the end of the year, December 31st. After this date, I will not be offering refunds for this campaign to noncommunicative backers. (If this cut-off date changes for any reason, I will let you all know!)
This is all best case scenario barring any Life Happenings (TM). As I am a one-person biz working with family and friends to get this fullfilled, I ask for patience. I will do my best to communicate any unforseen delays.
Also, back of house note. There're a couple of pledges that have failed to process, which means there are a few of you who need to double-check your payment sources. Once I open up the Pledge Manager, you'll be marked as 'failed payment' and will need to settle your balance in the Pledge Manager instead before I can send your items to you.
Any questions? Consult the project FAQ, leave a comment on this post, or drop me an email to angela(at)angelasasser.com directly. I'm happy to help!
