Campfire! A spirit bomb with fees?? About the “punchy fees” on support funds raised through crowdfunding

I’ve been slacking on the blog lately, and Google has pretty much abandoned Decoboco.
Well, there’s no point complaining—I just have to keep building it back up steadily.

So, thank you all so much for the crowdfunding support the other day.
Since you’ve supported us, I want to give back “more than just the promised returns.”

We received about 4 million yen in total support. I’m truly grateful.
But what everyone really wants to know is “How much actually gets deposited?”

When you subtract the fees… “Wow… they take that much?”
In other words, if you don’t adjust your returns carefully, you could “actually lose money,”

so you need to be careful.

Sekaimon, which makes eBay easy, is brilliant! (*´ω｀*)

All the fees come to: “743,906 yen” boom!

When you add it all up, it’s quite a punchy fee.
You could buy a Zephyr 550 with that amount… hehe

I think there are companies with lower fees.
I haven’t compared everything, so I can’t say for sure,
but if you’re “not gathering a large unspecified group,” a company with relatively lower fees might be fine.

However, since large sums of money are involved, choosing a “highly trustworthy company”

is also important, I think.

Seriously? Early payment—a sweet temptation

Since I’m not in a hurry, any time is fine, but I saw this screen.
Hmm, that’s convenient! I thought, and when I compared it,
*I noticed this screen also mentions it.

Huh? That’s a lot less.
And get this! Early payment: 198,906 yen (about 200,000 yen)
But if someone’s struggling with cash flow, they might be tempted to click it.
Of course, I’m waiting until May 30th.

It’s quite a ruthless business model, I think to myself, but whoever came up with this is pretty genius.
They keep “pushing the project to success!” and “let’s have an online meeting!” and
enthusiastically proposing things.
Well, of course! The higher the funding goal, the higher the company’s revenue (*´ω｀*)
It’s an amazing time, and I’m grateful to everyone.

If you want to do crowdfunding, I can help you plan it

Before I did crowdfunding, I spent about two weeks planning.
This time was pretty last-minute, so if I’d had a month, I could have refined the content more.

Basically, what matters is “a plan or menu that makes supporters want to back you.”
Of course, if it’s “a losing proposition with thin margins,” you’re just tightening the noose around your own neck.
In the worst case, you might regret doing it at all.

I think the element of “something kind of interesting?”
is also important.
I think every day about how amazing this world is. Thank you all so much (*´ω｀*) See you at the new factory.
