Project Update: Campaign OVER!
Wow, thanks everyone, it's great to know that you can make a nice straightforward campaign without all the song and dance and people will still turn out for it!
In the spirit of simplicity, the next stages are not complicated. Priority #1 is locking in the files with the printer so we can secure a slot for getting the cards printed. Our files are ready to go, assuming the factory doesn't have changes they need us to make, so it's mostly down to their schedule as to when the printing resolves. In the past they have never taken more than a month for anything, and this is less complicated than what we've done with them before.
At the same time as we send the files to the factory we will use those same files to set up the digital/POD edition. POD does require us to order and confirm a print proof which can take a while depending on trans-Atlantic post situations. DriveThru have taken quite a while in the past to dispatch printed cards to us but that was a long time ago, maybe things are faster now. Still, even before the POD goes live there will at least be a digital version people can mess about with if they're feeling crafty.
We will wait until the last moment to lock in shipping costs, since things are, shall we say, changeable at the moment. We'll likely set it off a week or two ahead of the cards ETA, so as to minimize the possibility of complications.
More soon!
