Welcome to our financial transparency page!
Kacchako Forever is a P4P, or "pay for production", project. This means that we do not plan to profit off of this project! All money made will be put in the following places:
♛ Ordering books and merch to fulfill orders
♛ Giving every contributor and mod a copy of the bundle
♛ Packaging and shipping supplies, as well as the actual shipping cost itself
Any excess funds from orders will be used on upgrading our packaging (more protection, more decorative packaging, etc.) or our items (increasing size or complexity of products, upgrading to better quality materials). We are also giving discounted shipping to international buyers in our leftovers. Our only goal for this project is to make sure that everyone who helped make this happen gets a bundle for their hard work!
Contributor Compensation
Unlock some other P4P projects, our financial model aims to compensate every member of the project with a bundle. We believe that there is no reason in having contributors who worked several months on perfecting their piece, on top of years being passionate creators for this ship, to not be allowed to be compensated a free bundle. Our team has 47 members and our goal is to "breakeven" around 300 orders to compensate everyone a bundle.
As of this moment, we have sent out contributor bundles to most of our contributors! Thank you for all your support!
Pricing
You may notice our prices are discounted compared to other small artist projects. These prices are priced close to the prices we paid for manufacturing due to the P4P model - we do not plan to profit off these products and were able to secure a very good deal due to your huge support during preorders! Please do not compare our production prices to that of other zines or independent artist - we were very fortunate to connect with manufacturers during sales periods with high enough order quantity to get a lower price. Most artists are not able to order the quantities that we do and have higher costs as a result. Remember to support your local artists who worked so hard to bring projects like ours to life!
Financial Duties
In regards of contingency, our finance mod has successfully completed 25+ zines with Paypal. However, in case of emergency, we have setup a shared finance sheet with all members of the mod team and a way to transfer funds should an emergency occur and the finance mod becomes unresponsive. A backup mod is ready to step in should something happen to them to carry out the project if need be.
Given that we are at leftovers, this should not be a concern at this time!
We hope to make this passion project the highest quality it can be. From the hearts of our team to you, thank you so much for your support!
