Hi all!
Jess here from Allegory, Allegory co-founder and Chad's wife. Many of you have already chatted with me via comments, messages, or email; but I'll be the main point of contact while we fulfill this project. We're excited to get started!
We have a number of new backers for this project, so, if you're new to Kickstarter or even just to working with Allegory on a Kickstarter, please keep reading.
What's Next?
Over the next two weeks, Kickstarter will be processing all your payments via Stripe. This gives everyone time to update their cards and for us to build out the post-project survey. This survey is how we will gather all your shipping information and final specs for your rewards (wood choice, hardware finish, leather colors, storage choices, pen customization, etc.) You'll also be able to add any add-ons you didn't select on Kickstarter as well as finalize and pay for shipping. Don't stress about getting any of that information to me before the survey goes out. Until all of the surveys go out, I don't have a good place to track that information for each of you anyway.
The funds from the project will be transferred from Kickstarter to us on August 22. We will send the survey the following week of August 25, if not sooner.
Over the next two weeks, we'll be building out the survey and starting work on the wood bodies of the pens. We actually have 100 finished! :)
How can you help us fulfill the project quickly?
- Get your survey filled out as soon as possible after you receive it. Having surveys back quickly helps us build our batches for production and shipping most efficiently.
- Send any questions, special requests, or concerns directly to me at [email protected]. Tracking comments and messages on the Kickstarter platform, especially on a project this size, can be quite difficult. It's very easy for things to slip through the cracks. Email lets me respond quickly and have a searchable record to track our conversation.
- Communicate, don't wait! If you have a gifting deadline or another reason you need your rewards by a specific date, please let me know as soon as possible once you've filled out your survey. I'll use this information to put our production and shipping batches together.
Add-ons
A few of you have already messaged about adding items to your pledge. You'll be able to do that in the post-project survey really easily.
Ok! I think that about covers it for now! You can expect another update from me when the surveys are ready to send.
Thanks!
Jess and The Allegory Team
