FAQs
What makes a good crowdfunding project page?
It's important to tell your story in a way that resonates with visitors to your Crowdfunder project page. Including quality images, short videos and headings within the text will also make your page more engaging. Once potential supporters have connected with your story, a range of interesting rewards will help to motivate them to pledge. Check out our Social Media hub too for top tips on how to promote your project via your social channels.
How do I calculate my target?
Your crowdfunding target should be a balance between what you need to make your idea happen and what you can realistically raise from people you know. You will also need to make sure that your target covers the cost of paying for delivering rewards and any fees. Remember you can always raise more than 100%, so start with an achievable goal.
What can I offer as a reward?
Think about the different types of people who might want to pledge and offer rewards to suit each of them. This could include physical products, unique experiences, digital goodies or creative mementos. It's a good idea to offer rewards at a range of price points, perhaps starting from as little as £10.
Do I need a project video?
A project video is not compulsory on Crowdfunder, so you can choose to run your project without one. However, there are lots of benefits to adding a video to your crowdfunding page. On average, Crowdfunder projects with a video raise more than three times as much as those without.

Testimonials
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! For your incredibly detailed, and obviously personal, advice and support!! Some of the stuff you suggested I have done, some I have planned, and some I hadn’t thought of, so this is really useful.
The coaches have seen many projects and have a good idea of what works well. It's a totally new experience for most crowdfunding; not for the coaches however - use their knowledge!
Meet the coaching team!
We're incredibly proud of our UK-based coaching team - they'll be on hand every step of the way to assist you with any questions or queries about crowdfunding that you might have.
