Raise Money for Your
So you need money for your fashion startup?
That’s pretty much where we all start out.
That’s right – customers first, money second, production third.
Sounds pretty nice, right?
Definitely better than starting a business based on a hunch
that people might buy what you’re making.
Well, thanks to crowdfunding — specifically pre-selling — there is now a way
to get your fashion brand off the ground without risking your own money.
The only real risk is not knowing how to launch a successful crowdfunding
campaign in the first place. And that’s where I come in.
Meet Shannon
I’m Shannon Lohr and in 2011, I co-founded the highest funded fashion project in Kickstarter history at the time. Our campaign video went viral, we were featured by The Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com, Yahoo! News and other big press, and we more than tripled our Kickstarter goal.
Since then, I’ve helped companies all over the world surpass their crowdfunding campaign goals, in some cases by as much as 300 percent, attract their first customers and go into production for their fashion brands.
Taking you through a strategy that has proven, time and time again, to create successful crowdfunding campaigns, The Crowdfunding Factory is an online course specifically designed for fashion and apparel brands.
The truth is, most Kickstarter campaigns fail.
Why?
Sometimes the project just isn’t a good idea. Or it’s not the right fit for crowdfunding.
But most of the time, it’s because the project creators haven’t taken the time to put in the legwork before their launch.
They haven’t positioned themselves for a successful campaign.
And even more, they haven’t developed a strategy that virtually guarantees they won’t fail.
Because until now, that strategy didn’t exist.
Here’s the Truth
I see a lot of fashion projects go live on Kickstarter.
People think they can read a few blog posts or Google their way to creating a campaign with a snap of their fingers.
I mean, how hard can it really be?

Part I
Creating a Fully-Funded Kickstarter Campaign
It doesn’t matter if you have the editor of Vogue.com on speed dial if you haven’t built a campaign worthy of Vogue coverage. From your Kickstarter video to your project page to your rewards, your project’s foundation is based on how all of these pieces will work together to create a seamless campaign.
What’s in store:
Part II
Building Buzz for a Successful Kickstarter Campaign
One of the most common misconceptions about Kickstarter is that you can just whip up a campaign, hit the launch button and all of the sudden, a bunch of strangers will magically start giving you money. And that couldn’t be farther from reality.
