Goodies are a reward for providing financial support. Goodies should be appealing, imaginative and make people want to sponsor your project. However, they must also be items/services that you can realistically provide to the Booster.
If possible: Create a goodie which is also an advance order. Once a donation has been made, the sponsor will receive the service, product or access to whatever it is that you are working on. For example: Your project is a book. You can arrange for an advance order to be placed for the book (ideally with a personal dedication or something similar) each time a set amount of money is donated. This means that your project page on crowdify.net also serves as a de- facto online shop.
