We hope you're kicking off a nice weekend with a relaxing Friday night. We've been working overtime getting the ~300+ Add-ons entered into Backerkit and it is taking longer than expected... it's like building an entire webstore from the ground up! We've been working with the Backerkit team on some efficiency suggestions for them to consider, but in the meantime, it has been a lot of manual data entry on our part, and frankly, we sorely underestimated the size of the task...
That said, we are about 85% done, and should absolutely have everything in place over the weekend. We'll need Backerkit to review it when they're back in regular business hours on Monday, so if all goes well, we'll send out the smoke test surveys on Monday!
For those who aren't sure what that means: Backerkit recommends sending a "smoke test" first, which is a small batch of surveys to a random 5% of the backers, just to make sure there aren't any bugs or questions that need to be addressed before the bulk batch of surveys are sent. This is usually a 24h test, so if the smoke test goes out on Monday as expected, the rest of the surveys should go out on Tuesday.)
We know you're eager to get into the sale -- there are SO MANY GREAT ITEMS at really INCREDIBLE PRICES... we're excited to let you in! And just to reiterate: AS BACKERS, YOU WILL HAVE EXCLUSIVE ACCESS FOR 72 HOURS AFTER THE SURVEYS ARE SENT, so you will have first crack at everything. 😊
Sorry for the slight disappointment leading into the weekend, but we're hard at work getting things set up, and will get you rolling just as soon as possible! Thanks for your patience and support!
