A quick favor for Allegory?
over 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 04, 2021 at 11:25:26 AM

Hey all!

Big day today for Allegory. We're launching a new website! This is a big step for us toward not having to rely on wholesale and sites like Amazon for our ongoing business. We could really use your help!

Would you mind reviewing the product(s) you got from this campaign? These reviews have a huge impact on our future success. We're planning to send hundreds of thousands of people to the website in the coming months and this could substantially change the number of those folks who purchase. Our new review system also integrates with Google, meaning that the reviews show in Google shopping searches and ads which makes our advertising dollar go much further.

We've included some links to the most popular products and add-ons from this project below to make it easy for you. While you're on the site feel free to take advantage of the 20% site-wide launch sale!

  • Revolucion Pen Set
  • The other items that were part of this project were Kickstarter exclusives!

If you place a review, you'll be getting a thank you gift from us in your next order. More reviews = bigger gift! ;) Our new review tool will send you an email with redemption instructions right after you place your first review.

Thanks so much for all the ways you support making our dream a reality.

- Chad & Jess

That's a Wrap!

Hey all. I'm sure most of you have heard from us a million times today via Kickstarter, BackerKit emails, social media, etc. We've had a great first day so far on our newest limited edition pen.

BUT...

This update is to let you guys know that the last handful of packages are shipping today for this project!!! Woohoo! So, if you don't have your rewards yet or haven't received a shipping notification please be sure to send me a quick note at [email protected] so I can sort out what the issue might be.

All the best!

Hi all,

We're seven packages from done shipping this project! Wooohoo!! I hope you are all loving your new pieces. The seven packages I still have in the shop are just waiting on a couple outstanding items to arrive from my suppliers in order to ship. I expect them to go out early next week. :)

AND...we're getting really excited about our next project, launching early in July. Stay tuned! 

Thanks everyone,

Jess & Chad

Shipping Update
almost 4 years ago – Mon, Jun 01, 2020 at 10:21:18 AM

Hi friends,

Just a quick shipping update from us this morning. We are plugging along!! The following reward batches have shipped:

  • Revolución notebooks (notebooks only without pens).
  • Rewards with the Revolución pen set and two-pen case.

The next batch to ship, shipping this week, will be Revolución journal and pen set rewards that selected the Rhodia notebook. We are just putting the finishing touches on this batch and packing it up to ship this week.

Our goal is to wrap up the final two batches (with Moleskine and Leuttchurm notebooks) in the next couple weeks. I was able to sort out the back-order issue with the Moleskine notebooks last week and expect them to arrive by the end of this week, so we're back on track there. The most recent hitch is that our laser (which we use to cut out our leather pieces and engrave our pens) died last week. The tech support from our laser company has been pretty dismal due to their staffing issues during COVID. We're in their support queue but don't yet have a repair date. We do have a back-up plan sorted out if we aren't able to make progress with our laser in a timely fashion.

Bottom line, we're keep moving forward but at a MUCH slower pace! We really appreciate your patience and have been so happy to hear from those of you who have received your rewards so far. 

All the best!
