First of all, apologies for the lack of communication, I've been struggling with my 6-day work week during the busiest seasons for both jobs and unfortunately the project fell a little by the wayside.
THAT SAID
I've sent out surveys! Check your emails and answer them ASAP so I can get numbers to the manufacturers! The pre-order store will remain open for a month more so if anyone you know would be interested, please point them that way!
Alright, all locked designs have been added to the pre-order store (which you can find here) as pin+sticker options for $20. Each requires 15 purchases to unlock except the Osprey since we already partially funded for that goal. The Osprey only requires 10 purchases.
Spread the word!
Surveys will go out soon, have a wonderful July everyone!
Please check your payment cards before July 6th to make sure your payments go through and your pledge isn't marked as failed!
Surveys will go out after July 6th!
I've also added all the locked designs to the pre-order store! They each require 15 orders to unlock, except the Osprey which requires 10. So if anyone you know missed out on the campaign, let them know they can still get pins and stickers over there, and help unlock a few of the designs we didn't reach!
We raised $1353 out of our initial $900 goal, which means the Northern Cardinal, Red-Winged Blackbird, Red-Tailed Hawk, and stretch goal Bluejay are all unlocked!
In the mean-time, I am considering putting up the remaining designs on the pre-order store as Pin + Sticker options for the same price a normal pledge would have been, and potentially attempting to fund some more that way. We would only need 15 orders for a particular Pin+Sticker bundle in order to fund that design. I've put up the Osprey already, so I ask:
Should I put the remaining designs in the pre-order store to attempt some after-campaign design unlocks?
We're in the last 40 hours of this campaign! Let's push through as best as we can! Spreading the word helps a ton!
We currently need $103 more to hit the Osprey level, and $403 to hit the Cedar Waxwing level!
I've also added a $5 pledge level and $5 add-on level that offers the digital PDF booklet that originally was only for early-bird pledges. I've been calling this "The Second Mouse" in my head lol.
