So, I like many before me, and many after me, am trying to jump on the success wave as a designer in this and other communities. And I'm starting by researching and asking questions, and soon doing product testing! But wile i do this I understand that supplies are an expense, and the goal is to one day do this on a mass level.
So I will need to first get the financial backing to purchase the supplies I will need to do product testing. Next once I have found out what materials work for me, I will need to then test out the "test products" that i have found that work for my plans, on myself. Then once i find out which plans work, and which plans don't for my needs, and the needs of others, I can then go on to making the plans a reality and using them in my future business endeavors.
But in order to do all of this I need to ask for help from outside communities, and i need to begin fundraisers to help network myself and my plans to these other various communities and interested parties. The problem is, it's a good idea to offer supporters and interested people an incentive to support your cause, and other then T-shirts, coffee mugs, and key chains I'm not sure what else I could offer as an incentive with out spending a little money and being creative, and perhaps making something personal, and unique for interested investors.
So what are some good incentives that you think you as a person or "mer" would enjoy spending money on, wile at the same time investing in my, or anyone's business plans?
