Get reviews and feedbacks from your Backers/Supporters

Your project should never be considered a one way street. You are not alone in this world and you are not alone in your projects building. Take everything that you can and experience the benefits of doing business with people because you are doing just that, working with people. Your project may be your idea but the realization of it depends on many factors including the people who will donate to it and help it grow. Those people can help you in more ways than you realize.

Think about your project like making a salad. You need two things; ingredients and spices. Ingredients are those things that you bring to the table. It is your plan, budget, idea, methods, and everything that we have talked about in many of our educational posts. But, what makes a salad are not only veggies, you need spices too or else your dish will be tasteless and pretty much uninteresting. Those spices are the info you get from your supporters and backers. You need to take what you have and what they have, mix it all together and create an amazing salad.

One of the beauties of crowdfunding on Fundition is that your project will reach people from all over the world. Those people have different backgrounds, knowledge, and experience. Each person you meet knows something you do not, remember? Use that to your advantage. We are often surrounded by like-minded people and always do things the same or in a similar way. Broaden your horizons.

You will soon realize that a little cooperation goes a long way and that you have much to learn from others. We all do. Maybe cutting your costs and a new approach to marketing is waiting for you just around the corner. All you have to do is ask for it.

Now that we have (we hope we have) explained how you can greatly benefit from other people and their opinions, let's see the ways you can do that. There are many ways but we can neatly put them into two main categories; creative and promotional.

A good thing to do is create a poll or a survey to ask your supporters about their opinions and ideas. You can reach out to them with news and updates through a mailing list. Always make sure that your supporters have a strong feeling that there is always something going on with the project and update them regularly. In those updates, reach out to them and tell them how their opinions and reviews matter to you. Try offering rewards for each review you get and encourage them to share what they think about your project. You can also organize contests and shows to promote them where people will pitch you their creative ideas or promote what has already been done.
