Green Room: Herra Terra’s Kickstarter Journal: Week 3
Written by Chris Cave Posted in: Green Room on November 26, 2011
In this week's Kickstarter journal, Herra Terra talks about their strategy for a final push to promote their campaign, Kickstarter's rules on editing certain parts of a campaign, and what the band will do if they don't reach their funding goal. If you need some incentive before donating, check out some rough cuts of the songs to be recorded for the new EP in the player below!
Indie Ambassador: So you have 10 days left in your campaign. Is the Herra Terra camp shooting around ideas for a final push to reach your fundraising goal?
Herra Terra: Indeed. We're going to push a couple of contests via Twitter and Facebook to try to get more people to donate before the campaign expires. We'll be giving out things like vinyl, shirts and downloads for people who retweet our posts the most and to anyone who gets 5 or more people to donate.
IA: Does Kickstarter allow you to change your message, packages, project description, or video leading up to the end of the campaign in order change course and try a new approach?
HT: For the most part, they let you edit everything. Two things that aren't allowed to be changed are the dollar amount of your goal and any reward packages that have already been spoken for. The video and overall message you are presenting can be changed at will.
IA: If the funding campaign doesn't work out will you guys have to change your studio plans?
HT: Yes, most definitely! We are determined to have this record out by the Spring, no matter the situation. If this campaign falls through we will ask all who donated to either meet with us in person for lunch or transfer the money to us via Paypal. The production of this record is still going to be costly even if we choose to go locally as a Plan B. Our hopes are high and we believe that everything is in its right place.
