So your grandparents need expensive medical treatments or emergency surgery or hospitalization and you want to recommend them online crowdfunding. How would you explain crowdfunding to the people who cannot even handle online payment properly? Also your grandparents like thousands others have a natural propensity of frowning down upon anything that goes on in the Internet. So Crowdfunding India says that it is better to take them though some systematic steps to make them aware of the necessity of crowdfunding.
- What is Crowdfunding and why is it better?
Tell them what Crowdfunding is, the process in which the campaigner appeal to the masses, and people contribute whatever they can to make the agenda of the donor successful.
Asking a large number of people to contribute to one case, lessens the financial burden, both for the campaigners and the donors. Crowdfunding India says that taking a hefty loan is never recommended for anyone under any circumstances, because it puts an increased pressure on the debtor, and the health insurance may or may not cover the costs of medical treatments or surgeries, and even if they do, they will do it partially, only after you have made the payment and they will reimburse you.
And also, online crowdfunding platforms like Crowdfunding India has the provision for emergency medical crowdfunding for emergency medical treatments, surgeries and hospitalization.
- Does Crowdfunding even work?
Your grandparents will obviously be skeptical about the concept, so log onto the Crowdfunding India webpage in front of them. Show them their successful campaigns and how much money they had raised. Show them statistics which shows that the annual growth rate of the Crowdfunding industry is 100% and its estimated worth is 300 crores.
- How to start an online crowdfunding campaign?
Either you can explain to your grandparents how to open a profile on online crowdfunding platforms like Crowdfunding India or you can do it yourself, for them. Write a compelling story appealing to the crowd for donation, and attach relevant images and documents to add legitimacy to your campaign.
Then begin spreading the word about the campaign, start by sharing it on social media platforms. Ask your grandparents to share the campaign with their friends and relatives. Crowdfunding India says that is of utmost importance that your grandparents understands the criticality of spreading the campaign by word-of-mouth or any other way. The entire transaction would be carried on online, and your grandparents would not be required to go anywhere. They can receive the payment while sitting back in their own room.
- What to do after the fundraiser is over?
Now that you have raised funds, and your mission is accomplished, ask your grandparents to thank the donors. Ask them to write a mail or a letter to them or you can do ao yourself. Acknowledging their contribution, will make the donors happy and they will stay by your side if you need funding again in the future.
Ask your grandparents to visit the Crowdfunding India page to know more about crowdfunding and to understand how it works.
