Project FAQ
The pins will be approximately 1.75" x 1.5" in size, and they will be made in a black nickel metal with soft enamel covered with a layer of epoxy. Some of the pins will have spot-printed details on them as well. They will have 2 pin-backs and a laser-etched logo of mine on the back.
The stickers will be approximately 3" x 2.5" and will be printed on brown Kraft paper backing for a fun naturalistic look. They will not be recommended for outdoor application or anywhere you expect them to get wet, but will work great on notebooks, cell-phones, poster-boards or cork-boards, laptops, and more.
Each goal level is a reasonable estimate, with wiggle room for unforeseen price increases, for the cost of manufacturing both a batch of 50 pins and 50 stickers of each design. This aligns with relative batch numbers I've seen in my previous campaigns split between those pledged for in the campaign and a reasonable number left over to sell in my online shop.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
