We have 13 backer surveys left - can we get them all in?!
Also, when you submit your survey, make sure you get the confirmation email that yours has been successfully received!
There are some folks that have almost completed their surveys that I'll be reaching out to today, but it's worth double-checking to make sure everything is all set.
✨✨
In other news, suncatcher stickers are in!
Look at these cuties! Each one is 2" in the longest direction.
I also have vinyl stickers, sticker sheets, and the mystery packs all ready to go.
Everything is now waiting in storage for the magical day that the pins arrive, which should be in 1 to 2 months. That gives me plenty of time to make new googly eye cat portraits, and I might have enough of the Tip Your Purrista mugs put together already.
✨✨
I hope y'all are enjoying a fantastic June - we had a few markets earlier this month, including our local Pride Festival which is always a wonderful time.
Here's a nice lil photo of "Mr Gato" and I getting ready for what was a SUPER busy festival 🌈
I will be charging cards shortly after surveys close.
✨✨
On the production front, I've placed the order for the pins with the manufacturer, I've purchased the suncatchers and stickers/sticker sheets, and I've started making the mugs. Everything is right on track!
I'll update with some previews of the rewards I have in-hand soon, maybe next week or so.
After that, things around here will be quiet until I have updates from the pin manufacturer but I'll share updates whenever I have them!
Happy summer (and happy winter to our friends down under!)
This gives me enough quantities to send to my manufacturer, so I'll be locking orders and placing the pin order this week.
If you've submitted your survey, you'll get an email from BackerKit that gives you a 48-hour notice to make any changes to your order. After that, your survey responses will be locked.
If you haven't submitted your survey response yet, you still can. Addresses will not be locked until I have the pins in hand and start shipping, and I'll send an update when that time is approaching.
It doesn't look like we'll meet the goal for Milky Tea or the other rainbow metal Treat pins (womp womp) so I've taken those out of carts before cards get charged.
We're a little shy on Matcha, but I'm getting them anyway so if you pledged for Matcha (or all-in), you will get one!
I'll be closing surveys on Tuesday, 6/30.
This gives everyone a couple weeks to catch up, including resolving any failed payments.
✨✨✨
New mugs available!
On a fun note, I've put a Beans mug and a Kit-Tea mug up on my website! They're both 15 oz and have this fun inside color + matching handle.
Beans comes in blue, and Kit-Tea comes in blue and pink.
These are not part of the campaign so they ship within 7 to 9 days of ordering.
✨✨✨
Everything is moving along smoothly, and I'll be in touch with more updates soon!
Hey friends! We've got more than 65% survey completion already, WOW!
There have been a couple fixes and updates based on your feedback:
Some pledge levels were not showing pin choices - this has been fixed!
Add-on shipping had been applied to pins, mugs, and art pieces. Pins and art pieces no longer incur add-on shipping, and this is now reflected in your order
Only mugs will incur add-on shipping, as I will be shipping these separately and they are heavier.
Thanks for all of your feedback and patience as I make these adjustments - some comments have been super helpful and informative for this + future campaigns!
If you see an issue, the best way to get it in front of my eyeballs is to send it to Backerkit Support! They send the questions right to me and I'm able to see them right away.
As for unlockable items,
One More Matcha is the closest to unlocking!
Other cool observations:
The Beans Cafe pin is by far the most popular pin design, nearly doubling the next closest design
Y'all love the sticker sheets
Cheers! Lindsey + the cats (specifically Ratchett who is currently headbutting me and my phone..)
It's almost that time! when you get to pick your designs!!!
I just sent "smoke tests" which send the surveys to a small subset of you, in order to see if there are any glitches that need to be fixed.
Once everything looks good on the survey front, I'll send out the surveys to everyone. I'll need to get my quantities to the manufacturer before July, so I really appreciate you completing the surveys when they go out!
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
