Thanks to all of the new members, I can start to evolve and develop the club!
Some things coming:
- Semi-custom boxes for pin family members (those who order pins will receive their order in a nice box full of goodies!) Hopefully down the road we can do actual printed/ custom boxes but they are hella expensive so.. I ordered 100 of some nice recycled cardboard one as well as some large stickers for the top and plastic seals to keep them sealed nicely until they reach the customer! I plan to lay them out so it’s fun for the new ‘pin family members’ to unbox their new pins And it looks visually appealing!
- I invested in a Pantone color booklet (they ain’t cheap) so I can do my best to get the absolute closest match for custom pins!
- Possibility of upping pins from 1.5inch to 2 inch. Unfortunately it will make the first few pins of the collection a bit smaller, and cost will raise slightly but if they are a bit larger there is less room for error on small markings and we can fit better details in.
- Catalog of Pins! (And hopefully a website soon!) I intend to make a page showcasing all of the pins in order, with links to the customers medias and such!
-New quote form and ToS through a website rather than through google forms!
-Full FAQ page and disclaimers, etc on the new site!
On another note, I’m rushing to finish all the current pins because my manufacturer is experiencing delays due to staff shortage since some people left their work because of the virus. This puts the pins from 15-17 days manufacturing to 25-28 so this also means I will open the next forms a bit earlier (end of mid  June, to allow enough time to create the art and have it submitted earlier than usual since they are facing delays.
Also, for all future pin commissions, I am having them all shipped to me first to quality control and hand pack nicely before shipping off to their new homes! This goes for pins 7+
unfortunately having them shipped directly to the customer from the manufacturer doesn’t allow me to see them. Most pin manufacturers have a good Grade A rate, like mine- though it is common to receive some grade B pins. Not with us. I will take all the grade b pins and replace them with grade a. Only the best quality pins for my members 💕
