55 reward ideas

How can you motivate potential supporters to make a pledge? This is where rewards come in. 

Rewards are the perfect way to say ‘thank you’ and give people something awesome in return for their support. 

Many people would naturally approach this task by thinking about what they can offer. Instead, we would suggest flipping this around and thinking about what would motivate your supporters.

Think about the different groups of people who might want to pledge and offer rewards to suit each of them. This could include physical products, unique experiences, digital goodies or creative mementos. 

To get you thinking about rewards, we’ve compiled a list of 55 brilliant examples. You should find plenty of inspiration for your own project below.
