(A Little More Than) Halfway There!
It's a wonderful time of year to be running a Kickstarter Campaign- especially one with a vision for positive social change.
Every time a pledge alert hits the inbox, we are reminded of our overwhelming gratitude-- gratitude for backers who believe in our mission & adore our rewards and gratitude for this opportunity to change the world!
Every time we share the campaign with someone new, we get to experience the joy of watching them fall in love with our hammocks and connect with our vision for "Do Good. Relax."
Every time we get an uplifting email or watch you guys share the campaign with your facebook friends, we are absolutely humbled to realize that none of this would be possible without the love and support of the "hammock nation."
Our hats are off to each of you for inspiring the most amazing holiday season we've ever experienced-- and we're only (a little more than) HALFWAY THERE!
There's still plenty of work to be done, but a lot has happened recently and we wanted to take a few moments to update you!
Yellow Leaf has been featured in several holiday gift guides- and in several gift-giving categories! Whether it's being recommended as a gift for stress relief or a gift for your guy, we're glad to see that plenty of people will fund a hammock waiting for them under the tree (note: we do NOT recommend hanging your hammock from your Christmas tree, no matter how much eggnog you've had!).
LovingYou: Top 10 Stress Relieving Gifts
GirlsGoneSporty: Gifts for Men
RVLife: Gifts for the Open Road
And a couple of other cool recent features on Yellow Leaf & Joe recently: TriplePundit, The Grindstone and Daily Grommet.
We've got a few other exciting Gift Guide features coming up, so we will keep you posted as they are published.
We re-wrote a bit of our campaign landing page in an effort to clear up some FAQs right off the bat- let us know what you think!
We still have almost $4000 to raise and 13 days to make it happen, so we are not slowing down!
We're asking for YOUR HELP to spread the word-- facebook it, email it, tweet it, mail it out on a Christmas card... any way you want to share it, we want to help you get the word out and sprint toward the home stretch!!
We're trying to continue to do everything we can to make this campaign as awesome & fun as our hammocks and our business philosophy-- we welcome your suggestions and comments as we head into the second half of our campaign!!
Thank You, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! for everything!!
