Hello again,
The surveys have been sent out!
Please fill them out as soon as you can.
These surveys are SUPER important. I use the data to make sure I order enough of each pin design from my production partner.
My hope is that 80% to 90% of the surveys will be completed in the next two weeks. That should be enough for me to get good rough estimates on the total number of each design I will need to have produced.
The good news is, 60% of you have ALREADY filled out the survey!
I know I am always curious to see which designs are the most popular, so I thought that I would share the top 5 designs so far.
Astrophysics Cat – 139
Chemistry Opossum – 130
Library Science Cat - 122
Computer Science Cat – 121
Quantum Cats - 117
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know and I will be happy to address them to the best of my ability.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Kindest regards,
Joshua R Pinkas
General Update

Hello again,
I wanted to provide a general update regarding the survey and the pins.
We are still about a week away from the survey being sent out. Backerkit recommends that the survey be sent out two weeks after the campaign ends to allow for the payments to be settled. So look for the survey emails in about a week.
Having said that I have put the pins in production with 'minimum orders' of 100 units of each of the designs.
I will need more than that for some designs, and less than that for others. So once I have the survey data I will make a second order of the designs that I will need more of. This helps logistically by getting things moving now, as well as spreads out the task of inspecting and packaging.
This also means that shipping will likely take place in two separate waves, or maybe just one long wave, haha.
I have also added the Scientific Wonder coin as an option in place of the Lab Rats for those who qualified for the free 'pin'. If you qualified for that freebie you will have a question in the survey to select either one of the Rats or a coin.
We still have a long road ahead of us before anyone gets their pins, but if you have any questions or concerns along the way please let me know and I will be happy to address them to the best of my ability.
Have a great weekend!
Kindest regards,
Joshua R Pinkas
