My tip is plan how you’re going to ship every physical reward (including stretch goals). Make sure you have that built into your cost BEFORE you launch.
Planning to offer a pin? How are you going to ship it? They don’t fit well in Gemini mailers.
Definitely something worth thinking about. One trick I often do for certain packages is the GEMINI + a Bubble Mailer. So I still use the Gemini to protect the comic, but then slip that into a 10.5 x 16 bubble mailer, where you can slip in the other stuff, like pins.
But yeah... the time to do this planning is well before the books arrive... you're absolutely right!
I did something similar the one time I gave backers pins. But I placed the pin itself in a smaller bubble mailer inside the Gemini. It worked out well, however, added more time and a little more cost.
