How it Works

7. Your marketing promotion as Reward
 To show appreciation for the contributors, the campaign offers them
rewards.
 A special deal on your product can be one of the rewards
 The rewards must be compelling – worth MORE than the contribution
 If the contributor likes the campaign goal AND likes your product AND
feels that the deal being offered is compelling …
 they’ll go for it and you have a new customer!
For you, it’s a sale. For our
contributors, it’s a reward.

8. Reward Levels
 There are 10 contribution levels
 $10, $20, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000, $5000, $10,000, and over
$10,000.
 Each contribution level has a different reward.
 The rewards at each level should be worth at least double the contribution.
 i.e. If someone contributes $100 to the crowdfunding campaign, they will get a
$200 rebate on product X, or $200 off the regular price.
Everyone loves getting deals and getting
rewards.

9.  How many people will visit the campaign page?
 Our target is 100,000+ people for each campaign.
 We will accomplish this by good old fashioned networking and
engaging with social media and blogging communities
 Even if visitors to the campaign page don’t choose your
reward, they still see your product – and your company
supporting a green cause.

FAQs

12. Q. Is this a “good fit” for my product?
A. Good marketing is communication that closes the gap between
you and your customers. Our crowdfunding campaigns constitute
highly interactive communication networks that brings you
together with your customers in the online community
Also, there is nothing to lose. You are not putting any money into
the campaign upfront. And supporting “green” causes is
something that is generally seen favorably by the general public
FAQs

13. Q. Do I have to take part in all the campaigns?
A. No. We will give you the campaign schedule, and you can opt out
before the start of a new campaign. Generally we’d like a two week
advance notice prior to launch of a campaign when an organization
decides to opt out.
