When it’s time to keep track of your fundraising efforts, past present, and future, the Campaign section of your user dashboard will be your home. When you land in the campaign section, you will be greeted with a screen that looks like this below. You can see how much you’ve raised in total, how many campaigns you’ve published, the average per published campaign, and your achievement! Campaign creation can start from here, as well as selecting an already created campaign to edit. This article will discuss the incentives section of your campaign dashboard!



TABLE OF CONTENTS


Overview

Incentives overview provides a menu of the different incentives that are available to engage your supporters. Each incentive will be covered below. You are free to use as many or as few (hopefully as many) different incentives as you’d like!

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, chooses the one 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! 


Creating a New Reward

You can create a new reward by clicking the 'Create reward+' button in the Rewards tab of your campaign. When creating a new reward, it is required to add the reward name, donation minimum amount, and description of the reward. It’s optional to add a limited quantity, dates the reward is available (time included), and image. Some things to keep in mind when creating a reward:

  • If you are sending a physical item, be sure to check the “Requires Shipping” box so donors can enter their mailing address. 
  • If your reward requires something such as Username, Steam ID, for digital code delivery, for example), you will ask for that information in the custom question. 

Once you save your Reward, be sure to remember to activate it when you are ready! You can also edit the Reward if changes are needed. 


Ordering Rewards

Rewards are ordered by amount by default.  You can reorder and highlight rewards.  Reordering rewards will display them to donors in your desired order.  Highlighting a reward will move it to the top of the reward list.  If you de-highlight a reward, it will return to the prior location.  


To reorder a reward, click the symbol to the left of the reward you wish to move and drag the reward to the new position.  

NOTE: Once you reorder your rewards, all new rewards will be added at the end of the list of rewards.

 

Importing Rewards

Have rewards on one of your campaigns you want to add to your new campaign? You can import rewards from your other campaigns using the 'Import rewards' link next to the 'Create reward+' button! This will copy the rewards with all the same information, images, and setting the rewards have on your other campaign!

Polls

Polls allow you to harness the power of democracy by letting the donations do the talking. By creating a poll, you put the power in the collective hands of the donors and could result in a different hairstyle, color, or "delicious" food you might have to consume at the end of your campaign.


Creating a New Poll

You can create a new poll by clicking the 'Create poll+' button in the Polls tab of your campaign. Choose a name for your poll (1) and the options (2) for your donors to vote on. Polls can have a maximum of 5 options, but best practices have shown that limiting the options to 2 can wield a much more aggressive "back and forth" donation war (for a good cause!) Keep in mind that any incentive must be activated before they can be seen by your donors - so use the Active section on the right-hand side of your list of polls to activate it!

Fundraisers can configure additional settings to customize how their poll runs: 

  • Poll Goal: Add a fundraising goal for the poll to encourage supporters to contribute toward a specific target. Donors can help progress the poll toward its goal through their contributions.
  • Start Date: Set when the poll becomes available to donors. This allows fundraisers to prepare polls ahead of time and schedule when they should begin.


Ordering Polls

You can reorder polls by clicking the symbol to the left of the poll you wish to move and drag the poll to the new position.


Importing Polls

Have polls on one of your campaigns you want to add to your new campaign? You can import polls from your other campaigns using the 'Import polls' link next to the 'Create poll+' button! This will copy the polls with all the same information and setting the polls  have on your other campaign!
