I received word from my rep at my production partner that the pins will be done in the next week or two here, but there might be a minor delay in shipping them to me. My rep has an immediate family member pass away, so now someone else there will need to oversee the quality control, packing and shipping to me. They said it shouldn't add any more than 10 days to the whole process, but I am not expecting to have these in hand until the end of the month.
While I am a little sad about the delay for the pins, I think I would be more sad if I had a loved one pass, so I am doing my best to extend grace and set my expectations accordingly. I have a long relationship with this particular production partner, so I have no reason to think they are being anything but genuine.
I am hoping they send me some photos before the end of the month though, so once I get those I will be sure to pass them along in another update.
In the mean time, if you have any questions please let me know.
I just wanted to reach out to make sure you know that I haven't forgotten about you!
I have no updates for you, but this is good news. My production partner can typically take up to two months to complete large orders like this one, and have only ever contacted me early if there is an issue that needs to be resolved. So for me, no news is good news!
If I should hear anything I will be sure to let you all know, but for now we are all just patiently waiting for the pins to be produced.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
I wanted to let you know that I have placed the production order for the pins for this campaign!
Now we sit patiently and wait for a while. It can take up to two months for very large orders like this to be produced, so I truly appreciate your support as we wait for thousands of pins to be crafted.
I will periodically send out updates to let you know I haven't forgotten about you, but expect a few of them to be 'no new news' kind of updates.
I do not typically charge cards for shipping and add-ons until I am closer to the shipping date, but if you WANT me to charge your card earlier please let me know and I can manually trigger it.
If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to reach out.
Thank you so much for helping me bring so many new Science Cats into the world!
I have a few items that I wanted to make you aware of.
Surveys
Surveys for Even More Catrs Doing Science will be sent out soon! Some will be sent out today and if I don't notice any mistakes in how they are setup I will send out the rest on Monday. Please fill out the survey as soon as you are able. I need the survey data to let me know how many of each pin design to order.
Pre-Order Shop
If you didn't get a chance to back Even More Cats Doing Science, don't worry! I have opened the pre-order shop in Backerkit for the next two weeks, so there is still time to get in on the new science cat fun! https://even-more-cats-doing-science.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Upcoming Projects
I have two more upcoming projects for this year that I wanted to let you know about. Both of them are works-in-progress and may change a bit between now and their launches,
The Many Hobbies of Mothman is a fun and humerous campaign with pins featuring a cute Mothman enjoying hobbies and interests such as reading, playing TTRPGs, caring for plants, enjoying time with their cat, and playing guitar! I plan to add more designs before launch.
This will be part of a group of projects and the Mothman Newspaper pin will be available as a freebie for suporting this project and two others in the group. Feel free to let me know what hobbies you might like to see!
What's for Lunch? is my first Mini-Pin Campaign! Each pin is no bigger than 1-inch! I love cheese burgers and this campaign is in celebration of that. Each 1-inch pin is a different component of a cheese burger! I personally plan on displaying them on my jacket as if all of the pieces are falling down to form a perfectly stacked burger! If the campaign does well I would like to add other toppings and/or bread options. Maybe a chicken sandwich or avocado slices,😂 The sky is the limit! Well actually funding is the limit, so I hope you will support this out of the box concept!
Thank you
Thank you all so much for your support! Without you I would be unable to bring any of these fun designs into the world.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
