Everything is officially in production! All designs are proofed and paid for at our two manufacturers we've been using for years. I am very excited to see everything come to life. We're on a really good pace in our timeline; as you may have noticed, I am competitive with my own timeline and like to get things done quickly and into your hands as fast as possible, so I'm so glad that everything is in bulk production.
We've got some of the items in-hand already - the freebie holo stickers arrive! They look crazy good in person. Here's a quick pic in direct sunlight outside. I'll post a video of the holo effect on my instagram @sunsetroadco since I can't embed a video in this update. But they look fantastic.
What's next?
You probably won't hear an update from me until either sample production pictures arrive or the pins are finished. But do not fret if it's quiet! That means production is chugging along swimmingly.
That's all for now; enjoy the rest of your week! Nikki
Upcoming campaigns:
The Winter Market is a ready to ship campaign featuring ONLY in-hand items. I'll have select bundles and pin/sticker options. It's a quick turnaround time that'll ship in December.
Thank you again for your support on this campaign. After a whirlwind last 2 weeks of installing an exhibition for my museum day job and a convention this past weekend, I am now finalizing the artwork, pantone colors and effects and gathering all the counts. I'll have everything ordered this week!
If you haven't filled out your survey or fixed your payments, PLEASE do so ASAP so I can get the correct counts. I won't remove freebies from orders until the end of this week because I've been so busy, so please use this extended opportunity to fill out the surveys and fix payments. I'm not ordering a ton of extras of the designs and I want to make sure you get the designs you'd like!
I'm teaming up with Laserbrain again for the next campaign launching in November! This campaign is called Seas the Coastlines and is a campaign inspired by oceanic mammals. Please head over to follow the page and vote on the poll for what designs you'd like to see in the campaign.
Back to finalizing the artwork for me, if you have any questions shoot me an email at [email protected]!
Surveys have all been sent out! They'll be open for 2 weeks and then close on October 7th. PLEASE finish your survey and pay by October 7th. If you don't, I'll have to remove the freebie options and I don't want to! By submitting the survey by this date, this allows me to order the pin designs with the correct amounts ASAP and get these babies into production and into your hands quickly. If you don't complete the survey and pay/fix your credit card payments, then I can't get the correct counts and that's not great for me.
Hello friends! Thank you so much for another successful campaign. We unlocked every design besides the rocketship, which I will most likely put into add-ons for the survey in case anyone really wanted it. I'm working on the survey now and will have it out to you within two weeks.
If your payment initially failed, that's okay! There's still time to fix payments. Please fix them ASAP so you can get your survey right away. After the survey is sent, it will only be open for two weeks and then I'll close them and remove freebies. This isn't to punish you, it's so I have accurate counts!
If someone pledges and doesn't pay for their items, it really messes up my counts on what I have to order and puts me out of pocket for items people may never pay for. Unfortunately, with this being my 8th campaign, I've had a lot of people pledge high amounts and never pay me for them, which is a bummer. So I've had to become a bit stricter on timelines and removing freebies so I don't keep getting burned.
ANYWAY, sorry for being a bit of a downer, but just wanted to be upfront on why timelines are so important. I'm hustling to get this survey done and out to you all!
This update is being sent to all followers of Sunset Road.
THREE more designs unlocked overnight and I'm so excited we're adding these to the available options:
Celestial Arch
Dragon Hourglass
Rainbow Butterfly
That means only TWO more designs are still locked, the Northern Lights window and the Rocketship. The early backer freebie ends TODAY at 3pm ET/12pm PT so make sure to get your pledge in before it disappears!
I can't thank you enough for all the support on this campaign, and I'm really hoping we can unlock the last 2 designs, but I'm SO excited to make everything that's been unlocked already. We still have over a week of the campaign left so make sure to share it with friends you think would be into it!
XOXO, Nikki
Another note: I have a small one-week autumn themed campaign starting 9/29. I made the decision to do it literally yesterday as a I saw my first fall leaf hit the ground and got into a frenzy. So if you're into cozy autumn vibes and some Halloween-adjacent pins, follow the next campaign that I'll have up for only a week!
