4, 5 and 6 Bats!
over 3 years ago – Fri, Jan 29, 2021 at 06:36:38 AM

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all y'alls continued support of this project!

For people asking for ways to order more than 3, I've added tiers for 4, 5 and 6 bat purses. I am still working out the math and talking with my manufacturer to see what kind of a deal I can get for a 4th color, so I'll keep you posted once I know a stretch goal! But at this rate I think we'll do it!

Remember, you can pledge for any unlocked color. So if you pledge for 6 bats and you want all 6 to be pink, sweet! If you want 2 of each, also sweet! Etcetera!

Hey y'all! Just a quick update to remind you that the 3-bag Early Bird is live for the next 23 hours or so!

And remember, if you switch AWAY from an early bird tier any time after the period has ended, you can't switch back!

Thanks you guys!!!!

GOAL 1 MET!!!

WOW Y'ALL

I'm extremely excited!!! We made the first stretch goal of $12,000! So I'd like to reveal which color we'll be adding on first:

We're going with pink!! I know a lot of y'all have eyes out for the Black with Red, BUT I had some parameters in mind when choosing colors (namely, not having 2 black options before having another color). Thanks for contributing to the survey! If you contributed several times.... it's cool it's not science B)

What's the next goal??

I can give you guys a vague number of $16,000 BUT with a large caveat- I want to double check all our numbers and make sure we can manage 2,000 bats in my house and make sure we have a proper budget for that kind of operation- basically I need to take a step back and make sure everything is good to go because THIS HAPPENED SO FAST!

How can I pledge 3? What if I'm an early bird?

Good and common questions! Here's what I'm gonna do:

• On Sunday, January 25th at Midnight Eastern Time, a 24-hour period for 3 bags at early bird pricing will launch! It will end January 26th at Midnight eastern Time!
• Early Bird pricing for 3 bag will be $57 USD (plus whatever for shipping)
• If you switch your reward tier, you will NOT BE ABLE TO SWITCH BACK to a lower early bird tier!!!!
• I will also be launching regular priced 3 and 4 bag reward tiers at that time.
• We will only have an early bird special for 4 if a 4th color is unlocked.
• If you pledged for 1 or 2 purses, you will be able to choose from any of the unlocked colors.
• To reiterate: once you switch AWAY from an expired early bird tier, YOU CANNOT SWITCH BACK- you can only switch to available tiers that have no time limit (so: regular pricing).

Please let me know if you have any further questions in the comment section- I always notice people have the same few questions so if you comment, people can see and then find their own answers quicker :D

First 24hrs!!!
over 3 years ago – Sun, Jan 24, 2021 at 03:45:08 PM

Wow guys!!! In the first 24 hours of the campaign we reached 84% of the goal! That's super exciting- my last campaign reached 50% in 24 hours, for reference. We've raised some more and there's still like 30 hours of Early Bird to go!

I wanted to do a small FAQ since several people have the same few questions:

Which colors are currently available?

To start off, only the Lavender and the Black colors are available! The other sprites are designs that are ready to be sent to the manufacturer should we make some crazy stretch goals!

What are the stretch goals/when do they unlock?

First off, it's more colorways of purses. I'll run a poll to see what colors people are most interested. 

Second, the stretch goals will unlock at $2,600 intervals. This is a really high number, so if you're interested in other colors share the butts off of these bats! The minimum order quantity (the number of items I have to buy to place an order) is 1,000 purses. Of those, the minimum for each color is 500. So to successfully order a 3rd color, I'd need to make enough more money to purchase 500 more bat bags!!!!! That's a lot, but it's totally possible!!!!

Check out the graph at the bottom of the "story" section for info on the budget.

How can I indicate what color I want?

A lof of y'all are new to Kickstarter- that's AMAZING!!! The way this platform works is that IF this project gets funded (currently, there's still 28 days left!), I will generate a survey that gets automatically sent to you all. It won't happen immediately, but I usually get it out within a week of the campaign ending.

This survey will ask for your shipping info as well as info on which color(s) you're interested in. So in the meantime, just hang tight! All this info will be collected before I finalize the order so you'll DEFINITELY get the color you want (depending what colors are available).

When will these ship?

As of now, it's looking like I'll get the purses in April (fingers crossed). As you may know, a big chunk of February is the Chinese New Year holiday! It's a lot like Christmas for us westerners and everyone in the whole country takes several weeks off. My factory's holiday is February 5-26th, so nothing can be done in that time! But, they'll get back around the time this campaign ends so we should be able to get the ball rolling q u i c k l y after that!

If y'all have any more questions, please leave a comment! I've done my best answering messages on Instagram and Twitter, but messaging me and commenting here is the best way to get a response!

Thanks again for helping me make the products of my dreams <3
