Opinions Needed!
🕑 Added 2016-09-09 21:41:29 +0000 UTC I have some questions for you patrons regarding reward stuff =^w^= If you could take a moment to read and offer your opinion I would appreciate it!- Making Past Wallpapers Available
First off, I get a lot of requests for previous wallpapers, and I'm not sure how to offer them. The only solution I've come up with so far would be a possible wallpaper shop on Gumroad (a digital goods store) where I sell them for $5 each (to match the patronage), but I want to make sure nobody would object to that. There would be a grace period before a wallpaper would be available as well, perhaps 3-6 months? So you awesome patrons are still getting dibs for a while.
What do you guys think? I know a lot of you are new patrons that haven't gotten the older wallpapers, so I'm interested in hearing your opinions!
- Wallpaper Previews
I'd like to start offering previews of wallpapers before they're sent out. Perhaps 1 week before the end of the month? That way people have time to pledge or double check their payment methods before the due date to ensure they get the wallpaper. Just kind of a general heads up regarding it. Does this sound good?
- Links to Comic Updates?
Many people have requested that I post comic updates here. I never considered it before since it seemed redundant to me when the links are posted to all social media accounts, but I suppose this is a social media stream too! Is this something you guys are interested in seeing? Or do you feel it would clog up your feed?
- Item of the Month Club?
Another idea I've been kicking around is having an exclusive item-of-the-month reward for people that prefer to get items for pledging. Perhaps enamel pins? Something small and easy to provide on a monthly basis. The pledge would probably be around $15-$20 and also include the wallpaper. Would anyone be interested in something like this?
I think that's all for now! Let me know what you guys think!

I say if you do the item of the month club the price for the wallpaper should be reduced.
The wallpaper looks amazing, please create more designs.

I'd love the ability to support that $15-20 pledge. I wouldn't do it every month, but I would on occasion if it meant some cool GaMERCaT merch!

As one of your new patreons who didn't even knew you HAD a patreon (I thought you only had tapeastry), and who pledged mainly for the Wallpapers... yeah, I'd love to get the past wallpapers :o
For my two cents worth. I am happy with you making old wallpapers available. Previews of the wallpaper I am less enthusuastic about as I like the monthly surprise. Not sure there is a need to notify via patreon either. But I do like the idea of item of the month, there is a lot of cute stuff in the gamercat store.
It all sounds awesome to me!

I have no issue with 4+ month old wallpapers going up somewhere else for a fee, and the preview and new comic links would be wonderful. Especially the comic links as I don't always remember to check the site weekly and that would serve as an excellent reminder.

I would appricate if I can buy previos wallpapers seperatly

- I'm fine with you offering the wallpapers somewhere else for a charge. - Wallpaper previews are fine as well. Maybe that will get me to look at the wallpapers more often. XD - I would like at least a link to the new comic, through if you'd like to post the comic itself that works too. - Sounds like a good idea so long as the upkeep is manageable for you.
all sounds good. Just remember to have the pins available for sale separately, so those who don't subscribe can still buy them :)
I like the idea of being able to buy previous wallpapers for $5. The monthly item thing sounds neat too! Wallpaper previews would be nice but I like the surprise. If you're going to have previous wallpapers available for sale, then new subscribers can always go back and pick them up. As for links to comic updates...if a lot of people have requested it, it wouldn't hurt!

I would definitely go for the "item-of-the-month" enamel pin or whatever it happens being, sounds fun! :)
