Only 9 days left and we’re almost there!
We’re in the final stretch of our Kickstarter campaign to fund some additional production equipment for our relocation and grand expansion to South Park. Yesterday we reached a milestone: 100 backers! You have all been so generous in your support and I cannot thank you enough. But we still need help to make our goal as we are only 65% funded. Remember, if we don’t hit our $15,000 goal we get nothing at all, and no one will receive any of the amazing rewards. If you've been meaning to pledge, but haven’t yet, now is the time! As a reminder, any of these pledge level rewards can be given as gifts. Get a jump start on your holiday shopping now!
50% off Anniversary Bar deal: We have 7 Platinum Tickets hidden among our anniversary bars. A great way to have a chance of winning one is by purchasing these limited edition bars (Strawberry Balsamic or Malted Milk & Honey) through a $100 pledge. A Platinum Ticket grants the lucky recipient to a day of indulgence at our Grand Opening Celebration in South Park on January 27. Platinum Ticket holders will be in the running for the LIFETIME SUPPLY OF CHOCOLATE, in which all the details of this promotion are explained on this blog post.
Insider Tip: For the $100 pledge for a case of 12 Anniversary bars, you can now add additional cases for HALF OFF (only $50 each)! For example if you want 2 cases, after selecting the $100 level, type in “$150” in the pledge amount box & you’ll receive a second box at the 50% discount. It’s that easy! Want 3 boxes? Type in $200, & so on.
Changing your pledge level: If you already pledged & want to increase your pledge amount to receive the anniversary bars, click the Manage Your Pledge button, select the $100 level & add any additional funds in the pledge box at the top for the 50% deal! That can add up to a lot of chances to get a Platinum Ticket at substantial discount off the regular retail price ($7 per bar).
Champagne Closing Party: If you’re in the San Diego area, we’re planning a Champagne Campaign Closing Party on Saturday, November 3 from 4:00-6:00 pm in our cafe. We’re going to count down the final hours of this Kickstarter campaign and showcase some architectural sketches, floor plans and other exciting previews of our future home in South Park. Champagne cocktails & tray-passed goodies from the new menu will also be provided. All Kickstarter backers will also take home a coupon for a FREE 3-plate brunch (available ONLY by attending this event)! RSVP here via Facebook if you plan to come so we can prepare the appropriate amount of goodies! Or, RSVP via email at: info@eclipsechocolat.com.
