Quick FAQ Update.
about 6 years ago – Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 11:18:16 AM

Hi Everyone!!

I updated the FAQ section and wanted to go over one particular frequently asked question quickly.

Is Auxilry sustainable or environmentally friendly?

The button and fastener material are made with medical grade ABS polymer and Brass materials currently the only thing strong enough for production to endure common and industrial washing uses. Both ABS and Brass are 100% recyclable and sustainable. The process of making the product itself is standard to button making and utilizes every bit of material waste as possible. They are made in a factory that has passed and is registered with Code of Conduct Compliance. 100% of the packaging is also recyclable in 2 ways - 

  • Reuse and save packaging for storing additional buttons 
  • Simply discard into recycling.

For additional sustainability of resources, the interchangeability of buttons itself will help people purchase less garments in general allowing them to give new looks to old garments reusing the same garment more often and saving money in the process.

Always feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Sincerely,
Anibal

The Making of.....Auxilry
about 6 years ago – Thu, Mar 22, 2018 at 01:31:00 PM

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thursday!! 

I wanted to share a small video I requested from the factory in the process of making a pre-production base button sample via machining. For those of you who do not know about pre-production, this initial sample is machined, gets perfected and then we use it to go into mass production injection molding. Once the campaign ends I will then be able to move immediately into injection molding for all parts and styles. Super EXCITING!!!!

In the next coming week I will update with photos on the additional process as we go along. Please feel free to reach out to me with any suggestions or feedback that you would like to see. As PCC members, I love to hear from all of you and consider design elements or concepts.

With 14 days left, we still have time to build some serious extra momentum! Please feel free to share the Auxilry campaign on social media.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share a  quick update on a recent interview I had with The Peak Lapel. Great guys and a good time! You can check it out here: http://bit.ly/2FDQmMZ

 

We have 23 days left of the campaign! I hope that all of you will do me a favor and share Auxilry so that we can gain additional exposure and move into some stretch goals! 

I will be having additional updates shortly and am planning on scheduling another live update from my home studio this time, for those of you that missed the first live update. 

Don't forget - You can use Kickbooster to earn 10% on any purchases made as a result of sharing this campaign. There's no catch. It's free, fast and simple. If you have likeminded stylish button up shirt wearing friends pass on the campaign!

Just click here: http://auxilry-dynamic-interchangeabl.kickbooster.me/boost to get your custom link so sales can be tracked.

Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime.

Surveys via Backerkit!
about 6 years ago – Wed, Mar 07, 2018 at 10:33:02 PM

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to send you a quick update about the survey. I am happy to announce that I will be using Backerkit as my fulfillment service. 

Some of you are familiar with Backerkit, but for those who aren't - when the campaign has ended you will get a survey through BackerKit, from me. There you will be able to tweak your pledge and easily add any item on that I offered during the campaign.

With so many button and fastener variations (style, color, fastener combos) I will need everyone’s info as quickly and as organized as possible, so that I can place an accurate order with the factory and they can begin the rather lengthy manufacturing process.

Backerkit has a great reputation in the industry and I believe they will make it a great and flexable process for us (as opposed to the kickstarter survey).

More on this to come right before the survey is sent out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note and as an active backer myself I love share projects that compliment Auxilry or my personal interests as well. So below I am sharing the wonderful PanteraBianca Milano cashmere sweater project I backed, that I think would go well on chilly days over your button down shirts. Nice, classy and of the highest quality and a perfect price! Check them out!

LUXURIOUS 100% CASHMERE SWEATERS handmade in Italy WITHOUT the luxury markup

Pantera Bianca just launched a campaign for their amazing 100% Cashmere Sweaters that are entirely handmade in Italy. Pease CHECK OUT their campaign HERE!

Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime.

Anibal

Orders & Survey Status
about 6 years ago – Tue, Feb 27, 2018 at 09:30:49 PM

Hi Everyone,

I received questions from some of you requesting to add more sets and fasteners to your orders for the different reward tiers. Well... I have a solution!

If you would like to add additional items to your reward tier simply upgrade your pledge and add the additional upcharge for the items you want based on the PCC member price list below:

Locked in PCC Member Pricing:  

  • $6.00 per fastener/base pack 
  • $10.00 per interchangeable buttons
  • $2.00 per set of premium collar stays 
  • $2.00 per set of collar extenders 

Then send me a note or request the additions to your order on the survey that I will send out towards the end of the campaign.

As for the survey, I mentioned that I would send out a survey this week. However I was notified that Kickstarter lets you do this only once. So therefore like most other Kickstarter campaigns, I will send out the survey at the end of the campaign. This way I can collect everyones orders in a more organized fashion. If you have any additional questions on this please do not hesitate to ask.

Also for those of you who missed the live update last week while I was at the Menfluential Conference, I will be posting the Q&A's in the FAQ section.

The conference itself was wonderful and I met so many influencers interested in representing Auxilry upon production. It was interesting to see, that in an entire conference of over 300 stylish men, they all wore the same boring buttons! However my highly visible Auxilry buttons were a STAR of the show, receiving compliments! You will too! Below are a few pictures from the show.
