How Reward Ideas Can Get You Funded

One of the reasons Sugaring works is the concept of reciprocity.

That is, you are not just asking for a money, you are giving something in return to say ‘thank you’ as well.

Research has been done on what makes great rewards. Here are our top tips:

Aim for 5-7 reward levels

It’s about choice. You want to offer the Backers options, but not so many that they get overwhelmed and confused. Too few rewards limit the appeal of your campaign. On the other hand, providing too much choice can make the decision harder, and therefore result in no decision at all.

Start low, finish high

Some Sugardaddies will want to support you, but might not have a lot to give. $5 is a great place to start your rewards. Equally, if you don’t have a super-high reward, you could be throwing money away. The key thing to remember is people will pay what you ask for, so pricing is important. 

You might find it hard to believe that a Sugardaddy will give you thousands of dollars for your campaign – perhaps no one will – but it’s not unheard of for Sugardaddies to make $5,000, or even $10,000 gifts when they connect with a Sugarbaby , or perhaps they really just want your reward. Think big, it might just pay off!

$30 is the magic number

Another awesome piece of information is that the $30 level is the most popular.  There is a caveat to this reward amount, however. You can get away with just a thank you on social media, or Backer updates at lower levels, but at $30, people expect something of substance. 

That can be a download, or a product, or an experience, but it must be of worth it.

Think strategically

Try and structure your rewards so you can hit the 10% and 30% marks as soon as possible.

These are the numbers that have been found to be critical in gaining momentum.

Case Study

Jane took some photos of herself in various settings, positions and lighting at home and at the beach and made a nice collection which turned out great.

Jane decided to offer a photo collection as a one-off reward. she described to her sugardaddies  that the photos would be on sale soon on her Campaign page. 

She casually mentioned that she had some very sexy photos of herself and they would be available for purchase.

When designing her rewards, Jane priced the collection at 5% of the total budget for the month .

Jane made sure her Sugardaddies were able to receive the link to her campaign.

Just as Jane had hoped, her Sugardaddies from her connections couldn’t resist – meaning her first Backers could help her reach almost 30% of her target, within the first week!

Digital is awesome

Digital rewards – particularly downloads – are easy for you, and cheap to provide. They’re also something that people want. consider offering your Sugardaddies a download reward. 

Think about how you can quickly and easily distribute your reward after your Campaign has ended. You want to get on with your life, not writing and emailing 100s of Sugardaddies all at the same time !

People love experiences

Things to note

• Make sure you can fulfill your promises. Think about how you will deliver the reward to your Sugardaddy before you publish your project.
• Consider the cost. Some crowdfunding rewards will cost you money to provide. This means you’ll need to do a little budgeting first – we’ll talk about that in the next section.
• Price digital rewards like messaging, sexting, photos below $30. The $30, $50, and $100 rewards will be your most popular, so ensure that they are interesting.
• Exclusive, V.I.P Experiences and I.R.L can be priced highly. The more they cost, the more personalized they should be to your Daddy.
