Starting your own business can be a great way to gain financial freedom and more time with your family. Unlike with jobs, you get to choose what path you want to take, making the work more enjoyable. Whatever type of business you decide to open, you’re likely going to need funding to get things rolling. To do this, you will have to be savvy about your fundraising methods. Here are a couple of ways you can get funding for your startup.
Start a Kickstarter Campaign
Kickstarter is a very popular platform for business startups because it has successfully hosted fundraising campaigns for various entrepreneurs. When opening a campaign for your business, make sure to make it as appealing and clear as possible. You want people to understand your business and be attracted to the prospect of it opening, so that they will in turn open their wallets.
Host an Event
Summer is around the corner, which means people are looking for fun things to do. You can rent out a venue and throw a big party for adults or children. You’d be surprised at how affordable it is to do this. Charge a cheap price at the door and let people know that the funds for the party are going towards your jumpstarting your business. This will help you gain support for your cause.
Sell Beautiful Calendars
People like to buy cheap items that are nice to look at, so why not give it to them? You can make your own calendars using Shutterfly, putting in gorgeous photos you have accumulated. This could also be used as a way to let people know of your upcoming business launch. Just put a reminder on the date, if you have one already set.
You can find great deals for Shutterfly on Groupon Coupons, along with over 50,000 coupons for thousands of other shops and stores. Check them out to see what you can find to help jumpstart your business affordably.
Hosting an event seems to be a good idea to jumpstart a business. I think letting people know my business plans would encourage them to help me out more.
