[PLEASE READ] Changes to Eye and Sceptre tiers (Patreon)
Content
Hello everybody, I hope you’ve all been well!
im currently packaging up all my orders for the June bundle, and I am realising that - due to a couple factors I’ll explain here - I am going to discontinue physical rewards at the “Eye“ and “Sceptre” tiers.
First and most importantly - if you’ve paid up to June of this year, don’t worry! You will still be receiving your merch in the mail sometime soon, and in fact your box is already made and either filled or soon to be! But from now on, the £5 “An Eye” and £8 “Sceptre Piece” tiers will be advanced support tiers.
The only tier that will receive merchandise from this point onwards are my Crown Piece patrons!
For transparency I want to break down why this is the case! Mainly it’s the profit margins - taking into account the shipping costs (almost all of u guys are from America!) and cost to buy the merch, I only make about £2 a month from the £5 tier, and £4 from the £8, which means there’s a lot of added stress for me for tiers that aren’t actually helping me out as much as the £3 support tiers!
As well as this, on the physical tiers it is about 80% crown piece and then 20% mixed between the eye and sceptre, and as this page grows (which, thank you so much!) it is becoming a lot harder for me to keep track of who has what, who should be receiving what, and all of that! To keep things a lot easier for me, if all the packages I need to send out are the same contents it really saves me a whole lot of stress!!! I’ve felt incredibly overwhelmed packaging this quarters order due to the huge boom in interest in my art, so keeping things as simple as possible for my own mental state would be fantastic !!
Thank you guys for understanding! So, if you’re on one of these two tiers, there’s a couple things you can do
- Keep your pledge the same. You’ll become my most valuable patrons if this is the case as these support tiers would truly help me out!
- Alter your pledge - if you were only here for merchandise, I have increased the amount of crown piece patrons I will be taking on! There are 17 slots remaining, so if you’d like to move up that would be awesome! Or, if you’d still like to support me but can’t afford your current tier without physical incentive, please check out my £3 and £1 tiers! I would hate to see you go!
- Cancel your pledge - if you were only here for the merch, and can’t afford to upgrade to the £12, I completely understand! :) feel no stress in cancelling, and I hope to see you around in the future!
Thank you guys! This change is really going to make packaging a whole lot easier for me moving forward, and thank you to my wonderful patrons who have been on these tiers for so long. All of your support is so incredibly heartwarming and I am so so lucky to have such a brillaint community.
Have a lovely day folks!
Lucy ❤️
