A variety of marketing options for innovative projects
Whether for opening up a hip coffee shop, launching the latest trendy drink or creating a hot new fashion line – over the past few years, crowdfunding has become established as a popular form of project financing, including for businesses. As the 2021 Crowdfunding Monitor of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts shows, more than 600 million Swiss francs a year move through Swiss crowdfunding platforms, of which there are almost 30, every year. In particular, there has been a sharp increase – due most recently to the COVID-19 pandemic – in rewards-based crowdfunding, i.e. crowdfunding campaigns that offer something in return. Crowdfunding is much more than “just” funding for a specific project .
Crowdfunding as a community tool Crowdfunding is all about the target group . It’s important to win this “crowd” over for a project and to get them enthusiastic about it. Where it gets interesting is...

A video really brings a project to life, because nowadays hardly anyone takes the time to read a text. Projects with project videos are much more successful than those without them. With a video the project can be experienced and you create an emotional connection to the boosters. In addition, you seem more trustworthy because you are seen as a person and the passion behind the project.
A video should first and foremost be appealing and convince people of you. Think about what you want to say in the film.
A video can be funny , emotional , or educational , but one thing is for sure: authentic ! What belongs in the video?
