If you want to start a business nowadays, the best money you'll ever spend is to build your own identity that you'll promote afterwards. But when you are a newborn firm with no identity background, how should you go about doing that? There is a misconception that you should have great content to grab potential customers’ attention. While that’s undoubtedly true, at DesignInARK, we’re convinced that poor design can generate immediate distrust. Content is actually a less immediate priority than design, which is responsible for that make-or-break first impression that’ll either appeal to users or drive them away.
We want to help companies discover their identity. DesignInARK realized how powerful it is to ask freelancers for advice and to have more possibilities at the early conceptual stages of launching a business venture (versus soliciting those opinions post-launch). This is one thing that traditional creative agencies can’t offer. Sure, those agencies are great when you are on the same wavelength with the designer working on your brief, but that’s not always the case. In my mind, it’s always better to have options, to have more designers giving you their vision or interpretation of your project.
In the last year alone over 65 crowdfunding platforms have been founded in more than 18 different countries around the world. From the Netherlands to the Philippines and from Romania to Canada, the crowdfunding phenomenon is strengthening its position as a globally disruptive force which challenges modes of traditional capital allocation. However, it is the rise of creatively-based crowdfunding platforms that has been truly meteoric. Of the 65 plus new sites launched this year an overwhelming 80% are focused on creative and artistic projects.
In this series of three short editorials on crowdfunding data, we dig deeper into the numbers on structures and ecosystems of crowdfunding platforms and discuss the perspectives accompanying these numbers.
