Apologies for the slight delay with this update. I’m selling at a con this weekend, and I promptly conked out after getting back to my room. 😅
Thank you all so much for your support during this campaign! Everything has been unlocked, including the freebie sticker for all backers!
Next Steps:
Backerkit is currently working on processing all payments. In the next few days, you will be receiving an email whether your payment has processed or errored.
If you have errored payments, please get these corrected asap so the next steps can move along smoothly.
Surveys:
Surveys will be sent out in approximately a week or so. During that time, you will be able to confirm your pledge, add on any items you may have missed during the campaigns, and set up payment for shipping.
Pre-Order Store:
For those of you who missed out during the campaign, the pre-order store is now OPEN. You will be able to purchase items from the store and receive them at the same time as backers. The only item I haven’t added yet is the jumbo pin, since it was added/edited mid-campaign and needs to be imported in. It should be up later today or tomorrow.
I will also be adding in different variant options for the Winged Kitsune Pin. These will probably be mystery packs once production and fulfillment is complete, so if you wanted a specific one, now would be the time to get them!
**PLEASE NOTE: If you have backed this project, please wait until you receive your survey to add on items. If you utilize the preorder store, you will be charged for shipping twice. The same items will be available during the survey.** _________
Also, just so you all know, I do have a lot of back to back cons this month, so I may be slow to respond to comments or emails, especially during the weekends. Artwork has already been sent to my manufacturer though, so production on the proofs and molds have been started.
I’ll pop back in again once surveys go out! Again, thank you all for such a great campaign!
As of yesterday, we funded the jumbo pin! Thank you!
I have added one final goal for this campaign:
If we hit 375 backers by the end of the campaign, everyone will receive an extra freebie sticker! If we don't reach this goal, then the sticker will still be available for purchase during the survey. ^^
I wanted to let you know that a new stretch goal has been added!
This is going to be a jumbo, pin on pin, meaning there will be a pin on top of another to create a slight 3D effect!
The main body will be 4 inches, and the dangle will be approximately 1/2 an inch, making it around 4.5 inches in total. There is both an add-on option or a separate pledge tier for it that has been added into the campaign.
The goal for this one is a little higher than previously added mid campaign goals due to the nature of the pin. Once unlocked, a sticker and keychain version will also be available as an option during the survey.
Thank you all for your time and support so far! I hope you have a great week! ^^
No real update regarding the project itself, but I did want to address some posts from “bots” that have been showing up in the community feed.
If you see posts from bots or accounts claiming to be Backerkit, please do NOT click on the link. If there was something wrong with a live project or account, Backerkit will not address it via comments or the community post.
We report these posts as they come up on our feeds, but it may take a little time for Backerkit to remove them for us. If you see em, feel free to report them as well.
That’s all I got for the day. I just wanted to make sure these posts were addressed in case you notice one sneak in.
I’m currently working on a new pin, so I’ll update with the reveal of that next week!
I just wanted to pop in quick and let y’all know that we fully funded within 3 hours yesterday! Thank you all so much! I appreciate each and every one of you 💜.
I have started to finalize the files so they can get sent to my manufacturer asap once the campaign ends.
Early Bird Freebie Reminder-
All Early Bird Incentives end tomorrow, June 18th at 2pm CST. Any remaining early bird tiers will lock as well as the sticker freebie.
I don’t have much else to update on currently. I mostly just wanted to thank you all for such a fantastic start to this campaign. Thank you again!
We are officially less than a week away from launching!
I just wanted to pop in and share a little info about this campaign. Just like last year’s Pin Quest, there will be two different colorways for the pins; a standard and then a “dark variant.” We currently have 4 standard sized pin designs, a large, and 4 mini pins. The standard pins are located within my launch party page, but here are the mini pin designs!
Also, as usual there are different types of freebies, which includes the event collab, a partner collab, and the 48 hour freebie.
For this campaign, I’ll be collabing with Wisperia, so if you back both of our projects, you’ll receive 2 pins free! You can follow their project here.
Thank you all so much for being here! I hope you all have a great rest of your week, and I’ll pop back in again next week!
