Shipping The Remaining Rewards!
about 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 01:21:13 AM

Hello to All the Beautiful People of our Big Jollylook Community!

Thank you for backing Jollylook!

The time has finally arrived!

We are delighted to advise that the Kickstarter campaign for the new Jollylook Auto has been successful and as a result, we will shortly have the dedicated funding to deliver your rewards.

At this time we would especially like to thank the many backers of the original Jollylook who believed in us and have backed the new Jollylook Auto campaign despite the difficulties we have faced together over the past three years. We would also like to thank all of our backers who have trusted us and patiently waited for us to be in a financial position to deliver the cameras.

A few things need to happen before we can start the delivery of your rewards. 

Here's a quick rundown:

First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds from the Jollylook Auto campaign so we have the money set aside as a part of that campaign to pay postage. There’s a 14-day window for Kickstarter to review, collect and process the pledges.

While we wait for Kickstarter to deliver funds we will be preparing a google survey for our patient backers who are yet to receive their rewards. This survey will be emailed at the end of February and will be live for a week. In the survey, those of you that are yet to receive their rewards will be able to choose whether you wish to receive your original pledge for the Jollylook or transfer your pledged funds to the Jollylook Auto campaign. The cost to update will be the difference between your original pledge and the Super Early Bird price for the Jollylook Auto campaign. If you do not respond to the survey or choose to receive the original Jollylook, we will ship your original pledge shortly thereafter.

Once that survey is finalized we will add those backers who choose to upgrade to the Jollylook Auto pledge manager survey on Backerkit. This survey will issue in mid-March. In the pledge manager, you will be able to choose whether you wish to receive the Jollylook Auto Mini or Jollylook Auto Square. You will also be able to choose the color, choose add-ons and even purchase additional cameras at Super Early Bird price if desired.

For backers who choose to receive their original Jollylook pledge, we are delighted to confirm that the Ukrainian made camera you will receive has been improved from the original Jollylook made in China that exhibited quality control issues. These issues precipitated our shift in production to Ukraine and the time and cost overruns which followed. The new cameras have proven to be the fun and reliable cameras we always planned for them to be.

For backers who choose to upgrade to the new Jollylook Auto, your cameras are expected to be delivered in the second half of 2020, in line with the timelines projected in the Jollylook Auto campaign. More details of the projected timeline will be shared with you when the survey is released, but in the meantime, if you would like to learn more about the new Jollylook Auto you can find that detail here: http://kck.st/2RBPPE5

Once again thank you all for your patience and support, we are thrilled to be in a position now where we can deliver your rewards!

We once again Thank You.

Without you, this project would not be possible, and because of you, it will succeed.

THANK YOU!

Until next time,

The Jollylook team.

Launching Jollylook Auto - The Modern Vintage Instant Film Camera!
about 4 years ago – Tue, Jan 28, 2020 at 11:49:26 PM

Hello, Beautiful People of The Jollylook Community!

Thank you for backing Jollylook!

Straight to the news:

We’re excited to say that in response to your approval we have launched today the Jollylook Auto Kickstarter! Initial results are looking good and if the Kickstarter is successful those of you who haven't received their rewards yet can all look forward to receiving your Jollylook cameras very soon!

Our new campaign, if successful, will be completed in late February and after funds are released the shipments of outstanding Jollylook cameras will commence immediately. We’re excited about finally delivering the remainder of our obligations, and about creating the new Jollylook Auto!

You can see the new campaign here: Jollylook Auto - The Modern Vintage Instant Film Camera!

We’d especially like to thank the many backers of the original cardboard Jollylook (some of which are still yet to receive their cameras) who have already backed the new campaign. It means everything to us that after the long journey we have all been on that you still love our vision of bringing these vintage styled cameras to the world.

To those backers yet to receive your cameras, if you would prefer to upgrade to the newer model we will give you an opportunity to do so after the end of the new campaign. If it is successful, backers that didn't receive their reward from the first campaign will be manually added to the pledge manager,  where they will be asked to decide whether they want to receive their cardboard camera immediately or pay the difference to upgrade to the Jollylook Auto.

Anyway, all of you will receive your rewards!

We once again Thank You.

Without you, this project would not be possible, and because of you, it will succeed.

THANK YOU!

Until next time,

The Jollylook team.

Jollylook Auto

Progress and Jollylook Auto Launch!
about 4 years ago – Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 01:42:46 AM

Hello, Beautiful People of The Jollylook Community!

Thank you for backing Jollylook!

Straight to the news:

We continue to work very hard to fulfill our obligations, and we are shipping rewards weekly in the backer's order.

After the survey about what we should do, you all helped us make the decision to launch the new Jollylook Auto campaign, so we will launch it.

 If it is successful, it will not only help us launch a new great camera, but it will also help us ship the remaining rewards a lot faster. 

Our Vision:

Most of us have risked and made mistakes...

Maybe there are people who do everything right and don't make mistakes just because they know how to act, at least we hear it from them.

We're always looking for solutions beyond the resources available and this campaign has proved that. Manufacturing the first cardboard Jollylook camera we could have canceled the project and felt guilty and disappointed and admitted defeat, but we choose to move on.

If the new campaign is successful we will use a small part of the funds to ship the remaining rewards to our backers that still didn't receive their rewards. Also, if the new campaign is successful, those backers that didn't receive their rewards yet will take a survey after the campaign in the pledge manager and choose to receive the cardboard Jollylook or have their pledge counted into the new campaign and be able to upgrade to the new Jollylook automat.

We will launch the new Jollylook Auto campaign on January 28th, and you are the first to see the preview, click this link for details:

Jollylook Auto - The Modern Vintage Instant Film Camera 

We created special super early bird pledge levels for our backers, those will be available only during the first 48 hours. If you are interested in supporting our new campaign, press "Notify me on launch" and you will receive an email from Kickstarter once we launch. 

The square format Instant Auto will be available as a stretch goal if we reach $150,000.

Please share your thoughts and feedback with us.

If we get funded we are sure we will be able to fulfill, if we don't get funded, we will still continue selling the cardboard Jollylook Mini and shipping the rewards to backers. 

Anyway, all of you will receive your rewards!

We once again Thank You.

Without you, this project would not be possible, and because of you, it will succeed.

THANK YOU!

Until next time,

The Jollylook team.

Hello, Beautiful People of The Jollylook Community!

Thank you for backing Jollylook!

2019 was a difficult year for our team, it was a year of the fight for survival and reputation. The result is still unknown - we didn't win that fight yet, and we didn't lose it either, but we managed t ship 65% of the rewards and continue selling and shipping. 

We want to thank you for being with us from day one. We say Thank you for everything, for the love, and for the hate, for the support, the understanding, and misunderstanding, for your emotions and your thoughts. 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Our plan for 2020 is to continue to work very hard to fulfill our obligations and to ship all the remaining rewards, All of you will receive your rewards! We also plan to launch two new automatic cameras, and we will share detailed info about them in the first update of 2020.

Without you, this project would not be possible, and because of you, it is still going on and will succeed.

We will keep you updated on our progress.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

THANK YOU!

Until next year,

The Jollylook team.
