Surveys Coming in 4 Days - How to Switch Your Pledge Level
Hey all! The 5% smoke test is going out today to make sure the BackerKit surveys are in working order. This means a random 5% of you will receive the survey today, so please ...
All pledges with completed and paid surveys have been shipped! You should have received an email with your tracking information. Thank you for your swift responses to these surveys so that this campaign could move rapidly through the process.
Fun Fact: The bees were the most popular pin choice! 42 bees are on their way along with 26 red pandas.
URGENT REMINDER If you have not filled your survey and paid by October 31, your pledge will be forfeit and considered a kind donation.
The Red Panda and Honey Bee pins are in! Panda tickers, panda magnets, pin card backs, and all packaging are also in. I just need to make the 9-slot displays. Addresses will lock in 48 hours. I should have orders shipped out by the end of next week.
Also, check out my other campaign that ends soon, Collectors Guild Cafe 2024 Calendar. It is filled with super adorable illustrations by Abi "Nerdy Alchemist" Park about different fantasy creatures and their collections. We have a calendar, coloring book, a kitsune plush, and more!
28 of 33 have filled their surveys, thank you! You've all been charged the final amount for your shipping. I have sent in my order for the pin designs, as well as packaging materials and pin cards. I'm waiting to order the stickers until closer to shipping date. And I'll make all pin displays on the day I'm shipping out.
Pins will take about 6-8 weeks to get here. I'll let you guys know when they show up!
The 5 who haven't filled their surveys still have time. Please fill them.
Hey all! Surveys went out over a week ago, and we are now 74% done! Only 8 people left. I'll be reaching out to you individually to make sure you have everything you need to fill out your survey. So far everything is going smoothly and I really appreciate it!
Hey all! Surveys went out a few days ago and we're already 55% done! Only 14 to go, and if we get them all done ahead of the July 15th survey deadline, I can order everybody's stuff sooner. As it stands, you still have 12 days 💜
Hey all! The 5% smoke test is going out today to make sure the BackerKit surveys are in working order. This means a random 5% of you will receive the survey today, so please be sure to fill it out! The rest of you will receive your surveys in 4 days on June 30.
Since we didn't unlock all designs, and I know many of you pledged for more than just the 2 pins we unlocked, I've added a brand new $28 Reward tier, for the two pins we unlocked, that you can switch to during the BackerKit survey. When you first open you survey, you will see a page similar to this image. Click the big blue button to start changing your pledge level. All backers will have access to this pledge change.
Once you've done that, you'll get an on-screen popup that shows this. All backers can choose to switch their pledge to either the $15 Reward - Choose 1 or the $28 Reward where you automatically get one of each design (Red Panda and Honey Bee). Once you switch your level you cannot go back to the 3, 6, or 9 Pins levels. However you will still only be able to select the Red Panda and the Honey bee for all of your pledge slots.
For those who initially pledged for 3, 6, or 9 pins and choose to change to the $28 Reward tier, you'll be able to use the rest of the amount in your initial pledge to order any add-ons you want, as well as cover shipping charges. There is no way for me to refund the extra pledge amount. If you pledged for some add-ons during the campaign, your add-ons may not automatically show up in the survey. You may have to reselect them, but this does give you the opportunity to change your add-on selection if you so choose. All of your initial pledge amount will be available to you.
As a reminder, all backers are getting the free 3" panda magnet! That will show up in your survey by the end of your selections.
I sincerely appreciate your support for these designs! I wish I could make them all for you. If you have any questions, please respond to this update and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
Thank you everyone who pledged! Together we achieved 2 pin designs, the Red Panda and Honey Bee. This doesn't affect the sticker pack, those who ordered a set (or add on in the survey) will still receive all 9 designs as stickers. Those who ordered the pin display will still get a 9-slot display.
What's next? Over the next couple weeks you'll be charged for your initial pledge. If your card fails for whatever reason, you'll have the opportunity to update your payment method. Please refer to the FAQ section of you have a question, then reach out to me in the Discussion board if you need any further help.
And then? Surveys via BackerKit will go out by June 30th. There, you'll be able to order any extras you want (pins, stickers, displays, etc). There will be a limited number of the Red Panda and Honey Bee as extras. There will also be my Cosmic Balance pins at a discount!
You MAY need to reselect any add-ons you chose during the campaign, but you won't have to pay more unless you select more. Then you'll provide your mailing address.
Backers will have until July 15th (this is extended from the original July 1st deadline) to finish their surveys. Shipping will be calculated after providing your address.
Charges will be placed on July 17th so that I can order all pins and other goodies on July 21.
After that? Pin designs for Red Panda and Honey Bee have already been sent into my manufacturer and have been approved. The timeline on those is 6-8 weeks from order. I will be placing my order for these on July 21st. I hope to have all pins in hand and shipping out by the end of September.
What else? If you have not filled your survey and paid by October 31, your pledge will be forfeit and considered a kind donation.
Thanks again guys! Feel free to comment here or in Discussions if you have questions.
Hi guys! Thank you everybody who has supported this campaign so far. We have only 2 designs unlocked and we are super close to the 3rd design. I think I maybe went too ambitious with 9 designs, and unfortunately the 6 pins and 9 pins backers are suffering for it. You guys are welcome to change your pledges to the lower levels of 1 or 3 pins. Sorry we couldn't get all designs unlocked for you!
There's still an opportunity, but I don't want to push people to order more than they want. I'm glad I could run this campaign! The Red Panda and the Honey Bee are super cute.
PLEASE share this campaign with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, TikTok, wherever you might be hanging out these days. If we can bring in only 7 more people, and if everybody pledges for 9 pins, we will be fully funded! As an extra incentive, I am extending the 3" panda magnet early bird reward to ALL backers. And don't forget, everybody is already getting a free 3" panda sticker!
Let's get the word out there so we can hit full funding for ALL designs! Let them know they are also getting a free magnet and sticker!
Wow thank you for getting the Red Panda and Honey Bee pins funded already, you're the best! I'm so glad these pins have found a way into your heart just like they did for me. The Island Fox is up next and only $223 away from funding.
Number Fact: if everybody brought 2 friends and all pledge for the 6-pin level, we would have ALL the designs funded!
(Or bring ONE friend and you both pledge for the 9-pin level, same results of all designs funded)
Also, surprise reward: all backers will receive a FREE 3" Panda Sticker! This is my small way of saying thanks in sticker form 🧡
I have a lot of really awesome pins in my collection, starting from when I was very little and received my first pin from a soccer tournament, all the way to about two weeks ago when I bought a new dragon pin. Each one has some really fun memories associated with them! I think my favorite pin in my entire collection is this giant Mario 35 pin that I worked so hard to earn. I racked up all the Nintendo points and did all the tasks and it was INTENSE. I had never worked so hard for a pin. It is 3" across, just massive compared to almost all my other pins. And I LOVE it!
So what is your favorite pin in your collection, and why?
