You don't want to advertise your project and are just looking for a tool to finance a project with other people? This is also possible with Crowdify. If you decide on «Private Funding», your project will not appear anywhere on the platform and is only accessible via direct link. Sounds good?
To start a «Private Funding», start entering your project as you would a regular one and in section 3: «Project conditions» check the box that says «Optional, Private Funding».
A good start is extremely important for a successful crowdfunding campaign. If a project has no supporters yet, the inhibition threshold for potential boosters is much higher. Therefore it is essential that something happens in the first 48 hours. With the link to the project preview you can inform your closest crowd about your project before the start. They can then have a look at the project in peace, pick out at a favorite goodie and subscribe to the project news. This way they will be ready to support the project as soon as it starts.
When is the project preview available? As soon as the project has been checked and released by Crowdify and you have set the start date in the project dashboard. From this point on your project link, which you can also find in the dashboard, will be active.
Goodies are an essential part of a crowdfunding and have a big part in the success of the project. Here we have listed some ideas for inspiration:
Purchase advantages (better price than later on if the product is sold regularly)
A special edition
