Project Update: Still a chance for the ladybug bag, also a general update
Hello it’s Celine! I’m not usually one to make the updates.
As a reminder, mind your manners. We are two disabled women running this entire merchandise company ourselves. We do a lot more behind the scenes than what you guys see, and are pulling at least 11 hour workdays everyday. If the item you wanted to win didn’t win a poll; that is not an open invitation to try to force us to make your favorite item. This is also not an open invitation for anyone to scold any other backers, for the record. This is a general address, as we like to keep a tighter reign on our Backerkit community than most. Our Backerkit doesn’t just pay our wages it pays our freelance animators, so forgive us for the incoming over reaction.
I personally like the ladybug bag, and want it to be made so I can wear it. It’s a lot more my style than a lot of our merch. I understand excitement and do not fault anyone or hold animosity towards anyone for it. We most likely will be making it as a stretch goal during the surveys; it’s a great wholesale item. So, hopefully you may even see it in gift shops in the future.
If you do not feel the time constraints of the poll are adequate or are miffed we run our campaigns differently from others, please remember we are also working on three movies and are currently setting up our new offices. We also were not prepared for how quickly we’d hit our stretch goals, and while very grateful for the support, are very much rushing to keep up. We will take your feedback about longer polls into consideration as much as possible, but this one was a bit rushed. We won’t always be able to make everything as smooth as possible, so try to give us some grace. We aren’t doing it because we don’t care; we’re doing it because we’re most likely rushing lol. You guys always surprise us with how much you like our designs.
Another thing I’d like to address is why we do such a menagerie of items. I do see people a bit confused from time to time, so I will clear the air. We have so many campaigns and items on the backburner, if we split up our campaigns to, for instance, only be plush bags or only be clothing. We’d have a lot of smaller campaigns and make a lot more work for ourselves. Backers also tend to get miffed when we run campaigns back to back without fulfilling items first. So, we’d do a lot smaller more frequent campaigns and make a lot less money. This works for other businesses but not ours, because we have an animation team we have to pay. It’s not something too important; just something I’d like to be transparent about because people were wondering.
you are free to do with your money as you so choose. As again, think of this as a transaction you’d have at a store. If our customer service is not up to your standards, I’m sorry. We’re always open to feedback. But again, I doubt anyone is really that upset; I just have to address it because it’s my job. I think that’s everything I wanted to say, and again we’re not super upset or anything just wanted to clear the air.
