Go Fund Me Rewards Question

Hi, I am so excited to launch my Go Fund Me campaign tomorrow. This project is 2 years in the making. I have been filming with a film crew for the last 4 months and the video is finally ready!

I have a question about the rewards to donation ratio.

I need help finding out a good amount to ask for each one. Should I ask for a $50 donation for a $25 gift. $10 donation for a $5 gift? I have no idea if my margins are too high or low. I literally have no idea. My rewards will range from $1 to $350 (retail price)

Any help on this would be appreciated!

Try your best to deliver rewards which are easy to fulfill. There was a gentleman in my kickstarter class that got 8000 backers (not kidding) and he has to package DVDs for every one of them. Think with the idea that if you over-promise and under-deliver, you will lose people's trust. But if you promise something great and things you can swing easily but deliver over and above what's promised you will have fans.
