Kickstarter is an amazing website that helps to make dreams come true! Basically, you state your dream, tell everyone why it will be so amazing in a short video, and people will donate money to you (hopefully).
One of my blogging buddies,
Samantha Balk and her sister have started a
Kickstarter for an East Coast tour with their
Rose Vintage Camper shop. I think this is an amazing idea, and I would love to see their dream come true.
I'll let her tell you about it...
The Goal:
After a successful summer tour in 2012, we want to tour the East Coast with our mobile shop, a 1961 Garway camper that's been renovated into a vintage store on wheels! We need to raise $5,000 to make this tour happen. We have an amazing collection of handpicked vintage clothing, housewares and accessories that we've been waiting to share with you!
We will use the money to pay our vendors fees, travel expenses, purchase more rolling racks & hangers to display all of our inventory and make a few upgrades to our little Rose.
The Tour:
In June, our plan is to start in Chicago and work our way all the way up and around the East Coast! We have shows planned in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and New Jersey.
The Rewards:
$5 - A thank you mention on our website: www.rose-vintage.com
$10 - A thank you mention on our website and a Polaroid photo from our tour.
$25 - An original illustration of our mobile shop, done by Sam and Mariah, printed on a canvas tote bag.
$40 - A collection of post cards from every stop we make on our tour plus the RoseVintage canvas tote bag.
$50 - A 30 minute virtual styling session from the tour with Sam and Mariah.
$100 - Two 30 minute virtual styling sessions, the canvas tote bag, postcards from all our stops we make on our tour, a Polaroid photo from our tour and a thank you mention on our website!
$500 - A piece of vintage clothing handpicked especially for you, delivered to your door once a month for 6 months with a personalized styling session based around the piece!
$1,000 - A piece of vintage clothing and accessory handpicked especially for you, delivered to your door once a month for a year with a personalized styling session based around the pieces!
$2,500 - Sam & Mariah will come to you (anywhere in the lower 48), host a vintage party in the camper for you and all of your friends, provide snacks and drinks, $100 worth of RoseVintage goodies and a whole lotta styling advice!
For those of you who are not familiar with Kickstarter & how it works... We must reach our $5,000 goal to get funded. If we don't reach our goal we get $0 and our East Coast tour won't happen. It's all or nothing!!!!!Please help us reach our goal!!! Pledge as little as $5 or as much as $2,500 and you'll get a super rad reward in return! If you're unable to pledge, be sure to share our project with as many people as you can think of (friends, family, neighbors, your dog walker, anyone and everyone)! We can't do it without you all!
So, I am offering
free ad spaces to anyone who backs their project. Here is how it will pan out:
$5- Small Fry Ad Space for 1 Month
$10- Middle Guy Ad Space for 1 Month
$25- Giant Ad Space for 2 Months
$50 or more- Giant Ad Space for 5 months
After you donate, notify me with your full name so I can check with Samantha to make sure. Then, I will hook you up with your free ad(s)!
Also, if you read the descriptions for each donation amount, you will get awesome goodies from them as well! I went with the $40 one! Also, what is cool is you do not get charged unless they reach their goal amount. So no worries!
Xo Chloe.
