I totally forgot to hit submit on this update yesterday, but I had enough completed smoke test surveys that I was able to get the surveys going sooner than anticipated!
Approximately half are completed already so thank you for getting those in right away! I do ask that surveys get done asap so I can get accurate counts. The sooner they are done, the sooner I can get production rolling!
Those of you who are paying over time will receive surveys after balances are fully settled.
I'll pop back in with a reminder about card charging, and when I start ordering items.
Not a huge update, but I just wanted to let y'all know that smoke tests have been sent out! As long as there aren't any issues with the survey, I plan to send the rest out early next week.
A few notes about the survey:
- I did add in the quicksand variants of the celestial kitsune into the survey as items to be unlocked. Much like the campaign, if there isn't enough funding by the time surveys close, you will not be charged for them!
- I created a transparent sticker of the enchanted guardian. It is a little larger, so it is separate from the other stickers.
-A pink variant summon scroll is available to unlock. There is also a sticker version I made that is available.
-A throw blanket is available to unlock.
** Unless you choose the "charge me now" option for shipping/add-ons, cards will be charged on August 1st. If you added on an item that needs unlocking, you will not be charged for it until said item is unlocked even if you chose to be charged right away.**
That's all I have at the moment. Once the surveys go out, I'll make another update. As far as production goes, I am currently getting files set up and ready to go once I have enough counts to make an order. ^^
Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
Thank you all for such an amazing couple of weeks! Without you, I wouldn't be able to continue creating these pins. While we didn't quite hit 300 backers, I have decided to unlock the freebie pin just for reaching $20k! That means everyone who backed for a physical reward will get an extra freebie!
So What's Next?
Over the next couple of days, Backerkit will be collecting funds. You should be getting an email whether your pledge was processed or failed. If you have a failed payment, please get them corrected ASAP.
Surveys Surveys will go out in approximately two weeks once payments are finished processing. From there, you will pay for shipping and add on any other items you may want. I may also have a few items that will be unlockable.
Pay over time backers will receive their surveys once the balances are fully paid.
Pre-order Store
I will be opening the pre-order store next week, in case anyone missed the campaign but would still like items. If you are a backer,you do not need to utilize the preorder store. You'll be getting a survey in about 2 weeks that'll have the same items at the backer rate and won't be charged twice for shipping.
That's all I have for now. I'll check back in when surveys are about ready to go out. If you have questions before now and then, you can reach out on social media or email me at [email protected].
Again, thank you all SO much, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Sooo..I have a confession. In my attempt to make the 300 backer freebie pin, I may have accidentally made another jumbo pin at the same time.
I decided to have the jumbo pin automatically unlocked. The background area will be a cutout, and there also isn’t going to be a second color variant at this time. As of now, it’ll stay the same price as the other Jumbo, but I’m not sure what the price will be after the campaign is finished since there are a lot of extra effects to it. 😅
As for the potential freebie pin, I did get that finished this morning!
If we don’t hit 300 backers, I will have the pin available for purchase during the survey.
I hope you all are having a great weekend so far! 😊
I just wanted to let you all know that I added a few mini pins! I decided on a combo of Kitsune and Pin Quest themes for them and will all be approximately 1 inch. The add ons have already been added to the campaign, both for a single pin and for 4 of them.
I’ve also decided to do a freebie achievement if we hit 300 backers. I’m thinking of doing another mini pin, but it’ll take me a day or two to finish it.
Thank you all for an amazing week so far! If you have any questions, feel free to let me know! Backerkit doesn’t always send emails when we receive comments, so if it’s urgent, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll get back to you ASAP.
