Booster.com has done a great job of taking the business model of their parent company CustomInk and leveraged manufacturing capacity to create a free crowdfunding platform. By offering to create T-shirts (and some other items) as campaign rewards, they have made fundraising fun, easy and best of all FREE for your club, school or other cause.
The crowdfunding campaign creation tool is amongst the easiest we have found. If you have the T-Shirt concept and graphics already created, your crowdfunding fundraiser can be up and running in literally 5 minutes.
Booster also offers donation based campaigns on their crowdfunding site with a fairly competitive 6% fee but we believe that the T-shirt reward option is the way to go. After all, people will do anything for a cool custom Tee. If you don’t believe us visit a college bar when a liquor company is giving away free t-shirts.
Like most crowdfunding sites, once you create your campaign, it is your responsibility to share it. Social Media tools are a built in feature at Booster and makes social sharing of your crowdfunding campaign no problem at all.
The minimum order for a campaign to fund is around 20 tshirts and are backed by CustomInks “money back guarantee”. Probably our favorite feature of Booster is that through CustomInk they actually offer customer service via phone. They are probably the only crowdfunding site that enables you to make contact over the telephone. Good Luck trying to reach someone on the phone from Indiegogo or Kickstarter (believe me, we’ve tried).
Our review of crowdfunding site booster leads us to the opinion that they are a near perfect solution for church, school and sports club fundraisers. Other sites have features that appeal to some other crowdfunding situations but if keeping it simple is what you’re looking for visit Booster. Especially since you will not have to worry about fulfilling your reward obligations as the campaign perks are created and shipped from Boost. They deliver the tshirts to your campaign supporters within two weeks of the completion of your fundraising efforts. It just doesn’t get much easier then that.
