Potential Shipping Charges Issue!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Nov 16, 2024 at 02:43:54 PM

Hello everyone!


It has come to my attention that there may be a couple issues with the add-on shipping charges, as I've had two backers reach out to me with questions.

Do not worry if you have already filled out your surveys- I have not pushed the charges through as of yet, so there is still time to rectify any issues.

I have reached out to my BackerKit support person to ask them to review how my shipping is set up, and I am waiting on a reply. 

This is my first time using BackerKit in general for a campaign- and the entirety of setting up the surveys was one hell of a learning experience, so I was anticipating some issues.

The smoke tests didnt seem to catch the add-on pricing issue, so I'm hopeful it only effects a few of you.


I will be making another update as soon as I hear back from my backerkit support person, so please bear with me! It is still safe to fill out your surveys- I will not push charges through until BackerKit support and I are fully confident that everything is all good!

On a final note, I am pleased to have launched my second enamel pin collab over on Kickstarter with one of my dear friends KatzeKei! Kat also collabed on the PokePostage pin campaign, which I had linked in the story section of this campaign.

It is a collection of 50 different mini/filler and normal sized enamel pins based off of the held items you would find in your trainer bag in the Pokemon games!


There is a free Rare Candy enamrl pin at $5,000 pledged, and we're a little over 24 hours in and we're well on our way to get there!


The link to it is here!

Once again, thank you guys SO much for everything thus far, and please feel free to comment on this update or send me an email with any questions! I will have an update posted AS SOON as I find out any details!



Survey Smoke Tests Sent Out!! | What's Next?
over 1 year ago – Thu, Nov 14, 2024 at 08:28:46 PM

Hello everyone!

My apologies for the lack of communication! There wasn't much I could do on my end until I received the campaign funds from Backerkit and finalized my survey, but now that I have received the funds and set up my surveys, we are good to go!

Some of you have received surveys already- these are test surveys to make sure there are no issues with the campaign before I send out ALL of the surveys! Please make sure, if you have gotten a smoke test survey, to fill it out as soon as possible! It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since I need this information to order the correct amount of pins from my manufacturer.


You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

Additional to that- I have added my previous pins from my other campaigns as add-ons just in case you missed them the first time around! Those are the Snom w/knife pins, Eeveelution Tamagotchi pins, and the PokePostage campaign pins!

Thank you to everyone who has been patient with me thus far! I'm hoping to get the full surveys sent out ASAP, and get the pins ordered as well!

Cheers!

We Did It!!! Campaign finished!!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Nov 04, 2024 at 12:53:07 AM

Hey everyone! Sorry for the radio silence upon the campaign ending- I've been in full prep mode for Twin Cities Con in Minneapolis this weekend.

I just wanted to thank everyone here for their support once again, and additional to that, celebrate the completion of this pin collection funding!

All together we raised $3,651 total, unlocking ALL 8 main series pins, and 2 of the last minute addition backer voted pins!

I have made the decision that I will be self funding Rainbowtail (as I just REALLY personally like this design and want one for myself djfjdkd) so I will put it up as an option in your surveys when those get sent out here in a couple weeks.

One final reminder- PLEASE check your payment methods!! I have been alerted that some pledges have failed, dropping us pretty far below our raised amount. Please be sure to correct them asap, otherwise backerkit may cancel your pledge entirely!

Once again, thank you guys SO much, and I'm looking forward to sending out the survey here in the next 2 weeks!

Much love!

5 Hours Left- Can We Start a Backer Train and Hit 4,000?
over 1 year ago – Fri, Nov 01, 2024 at 02:33:59 PM

5 hours left and Vampire Raccoon is Unlocked!! 

I know a lot of you really really like vampire raccoon and I'm so happy it's been unlocked!

We've currently got a backer train going and we're at $3,600, let's push for unlocking Rainbowtail at $4,000!!


In case any new backers and followers didn't know, here's a reminder about a couple campaign specific freebies!!



I fully believe in our ability to push $4,000!! 

Thank you guys so much!!

34 Hours Left | What To Expect Next?
over 1 year ago – Thu, Oct 31, 2024 at 09:37:55 AM

Hello everyone!! We are 34 hours out of the campaign being completed!! 

🙏✨️ We are also $64 away from unlocking Vampire Raccoon as an option to choose from! We've been hovering at this amount for a while now but I have full faith we will unlock it! ✨️🙏

I wanted to issue a massive thank you (I know it seems rather repetitive at this point but I genuinely cannot express how much all of you- and your support- means to me) to everyone who has been a part of my campaign. I'm so proud that my first campaign on backerkit specifically is such a success.

A few final things to point out and what to expect!

  • Upon campaign completion, it typically takes 2 weeks to recieve the funds for the campaign. During that time I will be setting up pantone colors for the pins that need them, creating a backing card, and getting the survey ready!
  • Campaign surveys, where you pick your pin designs and pay for your shipping, will be sent out via Pledgebox! Please make sure your email addresses are up to date here on backerkit to ensure you recieve your survey!
  • Once I recieve funds and surveys are 95% complete I will be placing the pin order, so please make sure once you get the survey you fill it out asap!

Once again thank you everyone! I'll see y'all in 34 hours when the campaign is finished! 😘
