Surveys COMING! Here’s a Guide to Getting Your Stuff (+ Add-Ons If You Like : )
about 5 years ago – Fri, Mar 08, 2019 at 12:17:38 AM

 Hey Friend,

Surveys Are Coming!!! 

In fact, we JUST sent a test batch (called a "Smoke Test"). Once we confirm that there are no problems with the survey or the Add-On store… EVERYONE will get their survey. 

GET PUMPED!!! 

SO, moving forward this update contains directions for claiming your REWARDS as well as important dates you should to be aware of. It is organized into two parts:

1) Backer Kit Surveys

2) Important Dates

For Those New to BackerKit Pledge Manager...

So, the Kickstarter campaign has closed and Kickstarter has collected your pledge. 

NOTE 1: If Kickstarter was not able to collect your pledge, you will still get a BackerKit survey (anyway) and you can pay within BackerKit. 

 Now, We Need to Know Where to Send Your Reward... 

This is where BackerKit makes all of our lives easy! 

BackerKit is a survey tool (and an Add-On store) that allows you to purchase additional items (if you like), pay and give us your address. 

You will be sent an email subject line (something like this), "Response Needed -- Get your reward for Tiny Survival Guide - Ultimate “Survive Anything” Pocket Emergency Guide + Kit".  

This email will contain a unique link to your pledge manager. CLICK the link in that email and follow the instructions on each page. 

It’s very easy! 

Here's an Overview of What You Will Do...

• Answer a Simple Survey Question.
• Confirm Your Pledge Level. 
• Add More Items to Your Order (if you want). 
• Enter Your Shipping Address. 
• Enter Payment Details (if needed) and Confirm Your Information.

Once you've confirmed your info, you are all set! 

NOTE 2: If you want to add more add-on items, change your card, or update your address, you can log back into BackerKit pledge manger - later - using your link, until the dates listed below. 

NOTE 3: If you know you are going to move before we ship in May, just enter the address associated with your credit card and we will remind you in April to update your shipping address before we lock your order prior to shipping. 

Important Dates to Remember... 

The below dates are tentative and apply to everyone: 

•  Soon - Your backer survey will be sent! 
•  Next Week - A link to your Digital Rewards will arrive in a separate email with the subject line (something like), “New Digital Content for Tiny Survival Guide…” 
•  March 21st, 2019 - All add-on orders will be locked and credit cards will be charged to fund production.
•  April 17th, 2019 - We will lock addresses. This is tentative since it is somewhat dependent on our production/shipping schedule. 

NOTE 4: If you want us to lock your order/charge your card before March 21st (for budgeting purposes), just email us here: [email protected].

A Look Behind the Curtain @ the Add-Ons

Okay, This is pretty much how the ADD-On Store Looks (See below).

Until Next Time… 

Keep it Simple, Stay Positive and Be Sharp!

VIDEO UPDATE - Add-On / Survey Update & My Mistake : )
about 5 years ago – Fri, Mar 01, 2019 at 10:34:24 PM

Hey Friend, 

FIRST... Craig, my friend and the co-host of The Survival Show Podcast (with me), and co-Author of the Tiny Survival Guide wanted to say, "Thank You" and give a quick VIDEO UPDATE. See Below...  

Next... I'm ready to go, but Kickstarter is not...

In my last update I mentioned that I'd have the post-Kickstarter survey out to you within 3 days to collect your shipping info AND make add-ons available (to those who want them).

I'm ready to go... 

However, I forgot that Kickstarter takes a full 14 days (once a campaign closes) to collect backer funds, give folks with declined credit cards a chance to fix them, and get us the final list of PAID backers. 

So I can't send your survey until the Kickstarter funding is settled. I totally forgot how Kickstarter's post-campaign process works. My bad!   

But the good news is... 

#1 - You get to meet Craig in the VIDEO update BELOW and... 

#2 - Your rewards will NOT be delayed!!! 

In fact, we are a little ahead of schedule on the manufacturing side of things!

You see, as soon as the campaign funded I began the work on getting your rewards into production. So we are in GREAT shape with promised delivery dates (from my manufacturers) well ahead of schedule. 

This is AWESOME! 

So look for an email from us through BackerKit toward the end of next week (around the 7th or 8th of March).

For your reading pleasure I have included a full list of Add-Ons below... 

Now I'm pleased to introduce you guys to Craig...

Campaign Add-on Choices will Include:

• Tiny Guides (Yes they will all INCLUDE a Fresnel Lens (for FREE) since you guys made our stretch goal)
• Tiny Cards
• Tiny Survival Kit (that I've been working on for a while)
• Tiny Credit Card Sized Diamond Sharpener
• DIY Mint Tin Survival KIT
• And... The Ultimate Tiny EVERYTHING Kit that Includes all the above ADD-Ons in One Package and at SMOKIN' great deal.  

That's if for now...

Keep It Simple, Be Positive and Stay Sharp!

Your "Post Kickstarter" Survey Is Coming Soon - Look for It

We use a platform called BackerKit for ALL of our Post-Kickstarter Reward (and Add-On) Fulfillment Tasks.

No stress... It's Easy!

Here's What to Do When Your BackerKit / Survey Email Arrives

Click Through YOUR Survey Email to Access Your Pledge Account
