The Tilt platform is mobile-friendly which is an extremely important feature. Over half of all individuals access the internet via their cell phone or tablet. The exact numbers on those accessing internet solely through mobile devices changes so frequently it is hard to get an accurate number from any reliable source that isn’t already outdated. The number of individuals using mobile devices as their internet go-to has passed the half-way mark and has been climbing steadily at a remarkable pace. Should your campaign fail to be mobile-friendly, there’s a good chance that mobile users will not stick around long enough to donate as reading something set up for desktop only on a mobile device is a pain in the posterior.

Not only is the Tilt platform mobile-friendly, it even has a free mobile app for Tilt on the go. This tool can make the creation and activation of a fundraising campaign simple regardless of where you are and can allow you to keep up-to-date on your current fundraising campaigns. You can quickly check how close you are to attaining your fundraising goal and share your campaign with your social media connections to help expand your base from the moment it goes live.

Use your existing company branding in your campaign by bringing your existing colors, domain, logos, and identity to your campaign. Should your company, non-profit, or community event not have a color scheme already, you can opt to choose from Tilt’s themes. The computer savvy individual can also choose to customize with CSS/HTML making this platform one of the most customizable there is. For those not-so-tech savvy, the administrative tools and dashboard can create customized campaigns without the need for adding code.

Campaigns are quickly set up within the dashboard and you can start raising funds within just a few moments and can easily run multiple campaigns simultaneously. If you’re not sure how to start, Tilt’s video walkthroughs and setup tutorials can help explain the process and how you should go about it in a step-by-step fashion. These great resources can take a lot of the guesswork out of how to properly set up a campaign for optimal fundraising and can make it so new users are able to enjoy the experience of fundraising from start to finish.

Tilt’s retargeting and detailed analytics help users to capture the attention of more contributors and gain more donations by providing a better understanding of your potential donors and customers. Add your Google Analytics ID in your admin panel, enable ecommerce tracking, and you’ll be able to view valuable information such as conversion rate, number of clickthroughs, and other analytics you can use to see if you are successfully reaching your target audience.

Tilt API can be integrated to your Tilt campaign to provide a quick and easy payment process.

Tilt’s multiple payment formats increase the likelihood that someone will contribute to your campaign as there will be no currency conversion or other payment factors to consider which can become a deterrent for would-be donators.

Another great feature of this platform is the ability to use of promo codes but they must be added when you create your campaign page. You can add your own promo code from your ecommerce site or choose to add the Tilt promo code. Tilt also allows pre-orders of your product as incentives for your campaign and pre-orders are able to continue beyond the campaign expiration date so you won’t miss out on any potential sales.

If you’re raising money for a registered non-profit, Tilt will even provide tax-deductible receipts automatically to your donors. Donors will automatically receive a notification that they’ve contributed to a registered U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit entity and provide them with a receipt for use on their tax return.

Yet another great bonus with using Tilt as your fundraising platform comes by way of their “tilt” feature. This “tilt” is the minimum amount you wish to raise. Should your campaign not reach this goal marker, your donors’ credit cards will not be charged. Only when you’ve reached the minimum goal amount will anyone have payments withdrawn from their payment method. This eliminate a lot of the headache involved with returning payments should a goal not be met and the campaign prove unsuccessful. This feature also creates a sense of urgency for anyone viewing your campaign and acts as an incentive for people to contribute to your cause.

Once tilt has been reached, funds will be deposited to your account within 24 hours making the money accessible right away. You can then begin to implement various stages of your project without the need to wait until the campaign goal has been reached or until the campaign has expired.

Tilt is an effective and easy-to-use crowdfunding platform that can help you reach your fundraising goals sooner. The customizations, ability to integrate your domain and branding, platform features and security, and superior level customer service make fundraising both productive and fun. Update your campaign any time you wish to help hone in on your target audience and get spread the word about your campaign quickly with social media sharing options.

Contributors face zero risk as if the “tilt” amount is not reached, they haven’t been charged for anything. Set up is easy and you can start collecting funds or contribute in seconds. This service has no start up fees and overall fees for using the service are at a low 2.5%.
