STIS&F: What system would work best? As you may or may not know my wife (and I on the tech side) records an album annually for use
|
with our church VBS program but primarily as a project for her. The fact the VBS uses it is a good motivator but we were doing this long before she started working at this church
Anyways, we typically sell CD copies to the church for use in the program (mostly just covering costs, etc) and of course put it on the major outlets (iTunes, Amazon, Google, Spotify). Physical CD sales are usually not a priority but there's always quite a few people who ask about them but there isn't a convenient way to get them other than direct from us.
So...my wife floated the idea: Would Kickstarter work for allowing people to get a CD and/or donate money towards the project for other "perks" or is there a better vehicle? Obviously we'd prefer not to have to a set goal to reach before the money gets distributed to us (ie: if we only get half as many orders as we expected we don't want to end up doing 0). But I also thought gofundme seemed to not be the right type of site either because it's straight up fundraising.
Seems indiegogo has flexible funding but of course all those sites tend to take 5-10% of the funds as well. Thoughts? The whole idea isn't to fund the project, we already do that but more to let people participate in it differently and have an easy way for people to get/pre-order the CD who maybe wouldn't from us directly for various coordination reasons (distance) etc.
