[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8411701, member: 50987"] Yep, a free dragon sculpture for all folks who pledged $75 or more on Day 1 really hit the stratosphere. I guess it's a great way to ensure that (1) your project reaches its funding goal quickly, so you aren't waiting on tenterhooks to find out if you are even going to get a green-light; and (2) the numbers stabilize early and stay fairly predictable throughout the course of the campaign so it's less risky to get orders in to the printers early. Seems like both of these would be great if your project has high shipping costs and long fabrication lead-times (which I'm guessing that this one does, since it's books and minis [I]and [/I]board games, all at once.) But if you're trying to get as much funding and as many backers as possible, the "stretch goal" model would probably be the better way to go. Offer that dragon sculpture to everyone who pledged $75 or more, but only if the Kickstarter hits $X (where X is sufficiently high enough to absorb the extra cost of all those dragon minis without negatively impacting the project delivery.) Sure, you might end up with having to deliver a million dragons, but you'd also have a million pledges of $75 or more to make it happen. [/QUOTE]
