Project Update: Funded + What's Next!
Heyyyyy folks!
Sorry for the radio silence the past couple days. Behind the scenes since the campaign came to a close, I was working on an issue with the processor for payments, related to Big Daddy N and the artwork for this campaign. Thankfully, it's been resolved -- though you may notice things look a little different around here. No need to worry -- nothing has changed, and the pins will look exactly the same. Any visual changes to the campaign are purely CYOA.

Now, with that aside, the fun stuff!
- We raised $2,674 with 88 backers, far exceeding my goal for this campaign! I have to say thank you a million times for this -- art is my full time job, and as a partially disabled person, it truly means the world to have so much support. It allows me to not only keep a roof over my head, but continue doing what I love, and for that I will never be able to express my full gratitude.
- I'll be sending smoke tests for surveys in the next few days! Basically, this will be a trial run of surveys to make sure everything is set up properly. Only a few of you will get these!
- The main surveys will be sent MARCH 1ST, and due MARCH 14TH. Please keep an eye out for the survey to hit your inbox!
- The preorder store will open early next week. There are three pin designs avaliable to be funded post campaign -- Choccy Chip Teddi Graham, Peppermint Magnet, and Swedish Fish Wish. Each pin requires 12 backers to be funded. I had previously stated this would require 10 backers, but I realized I didn't calculate in the cost of platform fees into that number, my bad! These will be avaliable in both the survey and the preorder store!
- We did hit the $2500 incentive goal for a free sticker for everyone! Unfortunately, around 17 of you have failed payments currently. This is common with Pintopia as many pledges pull at the same time, which can cause banks to flag it as fraud. My request to you all is to fix those card issues as soon as possible -- As soon as we get back to $2500 with cards being resolved, I'll let you all know and the sticker incentive will continue as planned! I'll be emailing those of you whose cards have had issues early next week.
Thank you all again for helping make these pins a reality! I'm looking forward to getting surveys started and finalizing my order quantities soon. I hope you all have had a great week, and I'll post another update soon when Smoke Tests go out!
