What are Rewards?

Rewards are incentives that you can provide to your community when they individually donate a specified amount to your campaign. Similar to purchasing a product online, they can view your rewards, choose the ones they want, donate the specified amount (or more - we won't complain about more money going to charity) and then it will be on you, the fundraiser, to fulfill the reward!


Types of Rewards


There are two types of Rewards: Virtual and Product. Virtual Rewards refer to the types of rewards that can be fulfilled without physically sending them to someone. These rewards can range from consuming a BeanBoozled Jelly Bean during your livestream to doing a 1-minute dance party to celebrate the donation. As long as you can fulfill the reward without additional interactions with the donor, it will fall under a Virtual Reward. 


Product Rewards are rewards that require physical shipment of an item to a location (typically to the donor themselves). This includes sending out personalized keychains or thank-you cards or t-shirts/other products you create yourself. Please keep in mind that Reward Fulfillment is your responsibility - if you agree to send something to a donor, it is not the responsibility of Tiltify to execute that for you.

Once you save your Reward, be sure to remember to activate it when you are ready, and check the Promoted option next to any rewards you want to be pinned to the top of your list of rewards! You can also edit the Reward if changes are needed.

Conclusion

Rewards are an excellent way to engage your community and encourage donations to your campaign! Providing rewards of all levels - from small donations to gigantic ones - is a great way to enforce the idea that every little bit counts, so try your best to come up with rewards at all sorts of levels to maximize the potential of your fundraiser!
