Project Update: Week one post campaign update!
Hello Hundred Acre Pooh Family!
It has been exactly a week since the campaign ended, so I wanted to update you all! ๐
๐ Campaign Success!
- We reached an amazing $8560! That's 214% funding! While itโs just shy of the $9000 goal for the free notebooks, Iโve decided to give everyone who pledged for a physical reward a free notebook* anyway!! ๐โค๏ธ
๐งธ Eeyore is Happening!
- Last update I asked if anyone would like the samples for the unreached stretch goals... they all got snapped up super quickly! The response to the Eeyore Plushy though... wow it has been incredible! The interest was so overwhelming and the messages so heartwarming and genuine that I knew I just had to make it happen because so many of you wanted him.
- Thanks to your support and some negotiating with the manufacturer, they agreed to lower the minimum order quantity from 500 to 100! ๐๐๐
- Because of this, when the survey goes out, youโll have the option to add Eeyore to your pledges!๐โจ
๐ญ Manufacturing Update
- All manufacturing partners have been selected. Weโre waiting for funds to clear from Backerkit to start production. A few payments got declined, but no worriesโthat should be just a small delay! Iโve already put a few things on my credit card to speed up the process! ๐ณโ๏ธ
- The notebook interior is around 90% finished, just getting it tweaked to the manufacturers design needs and adding in the complicated legal and regulatory info needed to the notebook design (and the packaging for everything else!) so we are compliant in all countries we have backers (this is hard, so many different laws and regulations!).ย
- The survey should be ready by the end of next week, assuming I can get all the required shipping info needed. ๐ฌ๐
Thank you all for your amazing support! Stay tuned for more updates! ๐งธโค๏ธ
As always, if you want to chat or discuss anything, feel free to email me personally at [email protected]ย or reply to this update!
With much Pooh love,
William
* for full transparency, the free notebook will slightly increase shipping costs, so I'll give you all an option to get it in the survey, it'll be up to you if you want it or not! It's really hard to say by how much, because it really depends on what you have pledged for and where you live.ย
