Project Update: Christmas in July Surveys
Hey everyone,
Smoke Tests
This is just an update to let you know that the smoke tests have been sent for the survuey. A smoke test is where surveys are sent to about 5% of backers, at random, so we can see if there are any issues before sending them all out. I sent out the smoke tests just now, so as long as everything goes smoothly, the rest of the surveys will go out tonight or tomorrow morning.
Add-ons
In terms of the add-on section I really wanted to provide more options but unfortunately couldn't make it happen for this project. The plan this summer was always that I was going to New York to help with the arrival of my new nephew, but the timing played out very differently than expected. This just meant that there was a week where I needed to be with my family and step away from my computer, and it coincided with when I would have normally done survey work.
In an effort to obtain quantities and have these pins produced on time, it was better to just put out the survey with less add-ons than spend more time adding extra items, and risk not getting a quantity to complete manufacturing on time.
Thank you again to everyone who's been so supportive of the delay within this project. Rewards will still be delivered to you on time.
Lockdown and Card Charge
The lockdown and card charge date for this survey will be August 15th. I plan to send final quantity counts to the manufacturer on august 18th. Even if you can't complete the card transaction on August 15th, still fill out your survey, choose your designs, and then don't complete the survey on the final checkout page. This will still give me a count of the pin designs you want, but allows you more time to pay if you need.
If you have any questions please email me at [email protected].
Cheers,
Liz
