That’s right! You heard it! Three Tree Coffee Roasters is opening a coffee shop on South Main Street in Statesboro, Georgia. Our scheduled opening date is mid-September. You’ve probably been seeing lots of posts on our Facebook page about this exciting news, and our… CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN.
What is a crowdfunding campaign? Let me explain.
Wikipedia says..
crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, typically via the internet. One financial expert describes it as “large groups of people combining their economic power to support an organization, company, or project they believe in.”
In a nutshell, we can accomplish more together than individually. One person singing can only get so loud; a choir can be heard from a considerable distance.
The crowdfunding model is fueled by 3 types of parties:
1) The project initiator — Three Tree Coffee Roasters
2) Individuals or groups that support the idea — You!
3) The platform or moderating party that brings the other 2 parties together — Indiegogo (Other types of platforms include: Go Fund Me, Kick Starter, etc.)
There you have it. So whenever people share our crowdfunding link on Facebook, whether you’ve been there already or not, CLICK ON IT (http://igg.me/at/3treecoffee). It will take you to our crowdfunding page on Indiegogo.com…our platform to raise funds. There, you will be able to see our progress, updates, and you could even give some money. You will have to create an account on Indiegogo in order to contribute. Do it. It won’t take long.
Seriously, anything and everything helps. If all of my Facebook friends were to give $5 each, we’d have $7,420. If all of Phil’s Facebook friends were to give $5 each, we’d have $6,650 more. That’s HUGE. And yes, I do have more friends than Phil.
