As production is nearing completion on the campaign items, I have set your surveys to lock in 48 hours. You will still be able to update your addresses after this time, but it will no longer be possible to change your survey items. I have a set number of everything to account for, so can't risk accidentally selling more of one item than I have had produced!
Pins should be arriving any day now and the socks are nearing completion, the next exciting update will contain info on dispatch and when you can expect to pay for shipping. We are nearly through the boring waiting bit, yey!
Hello all! I am pleased to report that I have been able to reduce the numbers needed to unlock the blanket stretch goals from 45 to 33! This means we have nearly unlocked the Pastel Skies design and are closer to unlocking the other two as well. These can be added to existing pledges and you won't need to pay for them until cards are charged for shipping so please consider adding one if you'd like to see these go into production 😍
The other cardigan and sweater designs are gradually gaining pledges, but it looks like most of them will not go into production. I suggest if you really want a design to come to life, to pick the size which currently has the most pledges! Large Unicorn Cardigans for example are half way funded, with just 6 more needed to unlock.
Production Updates
Red dragon sweaters are complete and have arrived at HQ!
Samples of the matching socks have been approved and these are all in production. All of the pins unlocked with the campaign have been completed! Stretch goal pins which have been unlocked are in production.
We are running ahead of schedule at the moment, which is awesome. I don't plan to charge cards for a little while yet to give the stretch goals one last chance to gain some more pledges - you can still add these to your existing surveys!
Current plan is to run pre-orders until the end of August with cards charge not long after this. I will begin shipping in September!
Hello gang! It's that part of the campaign where everything is chugging along behind the scenes and there isn't much to report.
Everything that has been funded is in production. A number of the pre-order items are halfway funded, so I am going to leave these open for a little while longer in the hopes of getting a few done! You were all very fond of the blankets, so I'd love to get those made...
Survey Completion - 158/173 Thankyou for getting your surveys in nice and promptly! You can edit your surveys until they are locked, which I will announce once I have an idea of when stock will start arriving. Please contact BackerKit support if you are having trouble.
I am having a little bit of time off now! I have anual leave booked, and will not be reachable until after the 21st of July. BackerKit support can help you with most pledge related issues in this time, and if they cannot I shall get back to you upon my return. Thank you!
Hello everyone! Surveys are prepped and approved, and will begin sending over the next couple of days!
Smoke Test surveys have been sent - 5% of you will already have surveys in your inboxes.
Remaining surveys will be sent once the smoke test has come back, this makes sure I can catch any errors that I may have missed at set up before they go out to everyone.
If you need help with your pledge or survey, please check out the FAQ. If the answer to your question isn't there, you can contact BackerKit Support on that page too who will be happy to help.
Thank you SO MUCH for your support so far! We are down to the last 48 hours, how time flies!! Here's a look into what will happen after the campaign ends.
Surveys
Surveys will be prepped and sent over the next couple of weeks, these take a little while to put together behind the scenes but I'll get them to you as quickly as possible.
Locked Stretch Goals
My plan for any stretch goals that remain locked at the end of the campaign is to offer these as add-ons at the survey stage! BackerKit is great and allows you to create new goals after the campaign by setting the minimum order needed to fund them. I will split these into sizes, this way the goal to unlock them can be lower than funding all sizes of one design at once. I will also add the highly requested blue version of the dragon sweater and the blankets to the survey add-ons! Please note - They will not be available to choose as pledge rewards, this will be an additional add-on option.
Failed Payments
You will have two weeks to correct any payments that fail when your card is initially charged. BackerKit support will be able to help you if you have any questions about payment during this time.
