Haven't we seen this already?

It was cancelled prior and we've also been privy to the works in progress here on UC, so I could see how one would think we've seen it before. We definitely have. It just hasn't been successful yet.

Hello all, Yes, this deck was launched before, along with a blue one but was unsuccessful. We love the deck so much that we are willing to give it another try before closing the book on it, hoping it will become a success and won’t break our hearts again.. 🥹
Interesting story behind the $1000 pledge without a reward (which got flagged by KS) you see on the chart. If you guys are curious to know, please read on.
If you guys have created a campaign before on KS you know you will be approached by many marketing agencies. This one happens to be a person name Pat Shand from DC (same location as to where we are). He (or she or a bot =) generously pledge $1000 without a reward on launch day and later message us saying:
Pat Shand: ‘I’m a big fan of your project. Do you mind if I share tips on how to achieve your campaign goal.’
A little confused, we responded,
DestinationQ1: ‘Hello Pat, Thank you for the compliment, we are very glad you like the project and hope it will become a success. Yes, please fire away. Tips, comments, questions, welcome.’
Pat Shand: ‘I feel your campaign should be doing more better. My company launched a campaign some months ago and we were able to reach our campaign goal. This was through the help of a marketer. Do you mind if I share the contact of the marketer?’
This was very fishy to us but also somewhat funny because the thing was we do not think Pat Shand realized he wrote this under the project comment (publicly) instead of a private message. Our response below.
DestinationQ1: ‘Hi Pat, thank you for your interest in the campaign. We are not looking for marketing support, other than the word of mouth and support from our loyal backers. However, thank you very much for the $1000 pledge without reward.’
I wish we still had the full dialogue in our comments, but KS delete Pat’s responses since his pledge is now canceled, unfortunately? haha. We dislike marketers but this one went beyond the norm, a least we got a kick trolling them a little…
Hope you guys enjoy the story? Please support our campaign

Merged the topics. Best of success to you on this second launch!

Thank you for combining the trend and also adding “Live on KS” I hope this campaign will be a success as well..
