Hi All,

We have just launched our campaign in December, so for us it has slightly affected us, as we are selling a drinks system. So bars,clubs etc are busy and home bar owners are gearing up for Christmas.

On the flip side of this we have had good feed back with people that will take a look after Christmas, that is why we went for a 60 day campaign.

Keep everything fun and relaxed. People are stressed for a variety of reasons this time of year and if you can offer a relaxing, pampering atmosphere you will have lines going out the doors.

I have noticed a major drop in backers in the last week, but hopefully a lot of people will get cash for christmas and be looking for projects to back with it.

Great tip! That's a relief to know.

After Christmas, now its time for New Year.. Another joyous event..

So I just wrapped up my Kickstarter campaign last night and I'm not 100% sure how much it was affected by the holidays. I was able to parlay my family into donating more than what they would normally spend on me for christmas since it was my gift and I think others were in a holiday spending mood so maybe that helped. If I were to time travel and launch it in October instead? I think my raised amount would've ended up being around the same. I did have a few people mention being tapped for the holidays but it wasn't an alarming amount

We have now finished the holidays and we have seen a better pick up on our campaign now, so bottom line think Christmas is a bad time to launch.

@jetchill thanks for following up. Yea, I noticed a huge dip in traffic on all my Kickstarter-related sites during the holidays.
