A Bookish Collection of Enamel Pins

The Day After
almost 7 years ago – Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 06:39:54 PM

Hey Everyone,

1) We've gotten a lot of questions about the bookmobile pin. We've decide to make some and offer them to you at a huge discount based on your pledge tier. You'll be able to choose whether you want one when you get your survey.

2) Surveys will be sent out from Backerkit later this week. Please answer them promptly so that we can send your rewards ASAP. You'll be able to choose pins (if you didn't order a set), specify T-shirt style (unisex or junior fitted) and size, and add additional T-shirts and pins to your order if you choose.

If your friends missed the Kickstarter have them email Gene at [email protected] (After you backers have told us what you want, we may have a bit of stock left for other people.)

We'll also have T-shirts and a few pins at spring library conferences, so stop by our booth if you're going ALA Midwinter, the Texas Libary Association Conference, and/or PLA.

Thanks again for your support!

-Chris and Gene

Thank you!

Just wanted to say thanks again to all of you for supporting our campaign!

We're talking tomorrow and will have another, more detailed update for you in the next 24 hours.

We Think We Can!

Looks like we still have a chance of hitting the $20k stretch goal before the campaing ends on Sunday.

Please share the campaign on social media and help us get there! We really want to be able to afford to give those bookmobile pins as a free reward.

Thanks for your support!

-Gene and Chris

Update on the rest:

Most of the pins are finalized with the factory, though we hit a snag with one that we're still having a back-and-forth on. We're planning on ordering the pins early next week, though, which is ahead of schedule. If all else goes well we're hoping the date we begin shipping will move up a bit as well.

Gene's daughter is already hard at work makng the buttons for the $10k stretch goal. (She needs to get those done before wrestling season starts early in Nov.)

We'll send out surveys via Backerkit as soon as possible after the campagin ends. Most of the data is loaded into Backerkit but we need to import backers after the Kickstarter ends and then wait until they approve the project before sending the surveys. We'll send another update ahead of the surveys.

$20K Stretch Goal Reveal

We finally finalized the final pin design! Hope you like our bookmobile pin as much as we do.

If we reach the next stretch goal, everyone who pledged at a 4+ pin level will also get one of these awesome pins, too. So please help us spread the word as we head toward the end of the campaign.

Thanks!

-Chris and Gene

$10k Stretch Goal Achieved!

Thanks you!  What a great way to start the day!

Now everyone who pledges at a $25 pledge level or above will also get a set of 5 reader-friendly buttons.

Chris is hard at work finalizing the pin design for the $20k stretch goal. We're going back and forth on final color choices for the existing pins, and I've started rearranging my garage for shipping with the help of my trusty assistant, Tokyo (photo below).

Hope you all have a great day, too!
