My wife's Kickstarter will fund her trip to Italy to study pottery with a ceramic superstar. She is at 76% with 11 days remaining. She lucked into two strategies that have delivered results.
1. She contacted members of her professional organization she met at a conference this spring. Her project and rewards fit the mission of the organization. This group is interested in a reward where Kathy teaches to a group glazing techniques she will learn in Italy. $500 for the group of 5 students.
2. Just before going live with her Kickstarter a friend suggested the following reward --- $40 - Minne-Italy Workshop. People will come to Kathy's studio where they will watch slides from her learning experience. Taste Italian food and get a chance to glaze a ceramic tile using techniques she learned. She's had eight people back at this level and she nearly pulled it from the list.
