I'm not talking about what's fair/not fair or what's bad/not bad. I'm talking about attributes of successful (or not) Kickstarter campaigns. Do you know of a successful campaign with reward levels at different price points that have identical rewards/text? Do you think that increases the chances of success for this campaign?
- Dylan16807 13y agoI'm saying that your classification of multiple tiers as having the 'same' reward is misleading, because those tiers have no reward. I can't answer your question because I've only paid attention to a handful of kickstarters, and they were product-selling rather than goal-fundraising.
- tnorthcutt 13y agoWhen I used the word reward I used it in the context of Kickstarter. That's the terminology they use: http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backer%20questions http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backer%20questions Whether a project creator chooses to provide an actual reward in the sense that most people use the word is up to him or her. I'd wager that electing not to do so is strongly correlated with a project not reaching its funding goal.
- Dylan16807 13y agoI'm not complaining about terminology. Okay let me put this another way. Let's pretend they had a $20 tier where you get nothing, plus the $5000 and $10000 early access tiers. If someone donates $20, they get nothing. If someone donates $437, they get nothing. Does it actually hurt the project to create a $400 nothing-tier in addition to the $20 nothing-tier? I am skeptical of this. But that's what you called out as a negative in your original post, having multiple tiers that are the same.
- tnorthcutt 13y agoI'm suggesting that if the $25 tier has nothing as a reward, the $100 tier should not also have nothing as a reward.
