Hey everyone, I want to ask you for some feedback. I'm still getting messages from people that are initially confused by the way this Patreon works. I'd appreciate some insight from your side - what can I do to simplify, make it more accessible? What's the thing that's most tricky to understand, etc?

I've already simplified the reward tiers, there's only 4 of them now as I want to really focus on the sparkly tokens in the future. 

And then one more question - does it make more sense to call these monthly shipments waves, or drops? Something else? I'm so confused 🤔


It's not all questions though! Since you've read this far, I'll let you in on the fact that I'm working on a Treasure token for this month and it's going to be a really nice one 👀 Might even be able to finish it today!

To me, the language of “Drop” is associated with a regular release of new merchandise that is usually limited stock and unique in design, something you follow and subscribe to in case the latest drop matches your interests….soooo pretty much exactly how the sparkly tokens work!

Wave sounds like there are multiple chances to get a token. Drop implies a single chance.

Wave to me sounds like a shipping wave on kickstarter. First wave, second wave, etc. Drop is better. Or go simple and just call it a monthly reward.

I agree, wave sounds like 1st, 2nd, 3rd print runs. Drop gives the impression of when the token is actually being released/sent out

Thanks, I really appreciate this insight, I want to make sure the language matches what I try to do here!

I also prefer drop. And unrelated to this post, would love access to previous “drops,” either via purchasing on a website, special monthly reprints, something. Thanks!

“Drop” is too close to “Secret Lair Drop” in that they literally call them “drops”. I’d say “bombs” because they’re big, exciting, and impactful, but that carries a different meaning by post. I’d say “gift cards”, but different meaning. What about just “gift”? Or care-packages?

Is there still any good way for someone who wants to pick up more cardboard tokens to purchase those/sets of them?

I'm waiting for the day you will release the sparkly design in mass cardboard form ♥

Honestly, call them what you like, always liked 'Release'
