Kickstarter Discussion: Polls
13 years ago
A friend of mine got in a discussion with me about Kickstarter and the idea of fusing it with a poll.
So basically I have a lot of ideas for T-shirts, but obviously I can't get them all printed. So what if I started a kickstarter before any of the designs were finalized and allowed the donators to vote for like, the top 5 shirts?
There are many good and bad things that stem from this idea.
My very first thought was:
What of those who donate that don't get the shirt they really wanted? Will that scare some donators away because they feel their money might not go to something they want?
Some ideas to combat this issue was to offer rewards for higher bidding, like a certain amount may net you more votes or may even allow the immediate creation of one of those designs (not necessarily counting as the 5 that are to be chosen)
Some other reward ideas were for custom shirts: super high donations would net a custom made shirt of whatever the winner wanted. They even get the choice of whether or not the shirt gets sold or to keep it a one of only.
Stretch goals (beyond the initial amount requested) might include another 5 shirts to vote for.
What are your ideas? What are the pros, the cons? How can I address either? What are some ideas you have for high donation rewards? For stretch goals? How much would you pay for a furry related shirt? (probably a few, like my sushimon shirt -link in my artist bio- which are sorta incognito vore related) $10,$15, $20, $25 ? $29.99??
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD AND DISCUSS!
(also, I'd be quite fluffed if you spread this journal around~)

I'd really think it'd be best to do some rough concepts of the designs and have folks vote.. oooorrr just use a site like redbubble or some other one and do ALL the designs and people can just buy what they want, and then you don't have to fight with printing/shipping/etc. The shirts cost a tad more depending on the profit margin you want, but.. It's a heck of a lot of mess you don't have to fight with.
idk how that process works though, never purchased or listed stuff there
