Experience

Have they developed something like this before? Do they have crowdfunding experience? Manufacturing experience? A lot of campaigns fail to deliver their product because they don’t know what they’re doing. Or they might spend all the raised funds on getting a fully functional product, but fail to mass-produce it.

As noticed, eufy’s team appears to have some impressive and inspiring background with plenty of manufactured products and an absolutely successful campaign on Kiackstarter. EufyCam has raised $3,139,558 with the support of 8803 backers and has become the base of the security ecosystem that eufy has designed and manufactured since then. Eufy’s website provides multiple opportunities to review and purchase the variety of home appliance & security products they offer. Having experienced some serious success by doing their first steps in crowdfunding on Kickstarter, the team seems to have done a pretty good job at moving forward and inventing!

Transparency

How transparent are the campaigners? Do they give their backers valuable updates on their progress? Having credible and reliable campaigners is one of the deciding factors in building the trust that backers look for.

That wirefree cam, about which we were talking when referring to eufy’s experience and background, was indeed a successfully planned campaign from more than one perspective. 36 updates and these include discounts, rewards, shipping information, news about new-releasing products and…wait for it…an offer to become the ambassador of their brand! secure-package-delivery-box Well, the trust one might have towards the company seems to be more than paid off by the trust they have towards their backers!

Responsiveness

How responsive are the campaigners? Do they engage with their backers? Crowdfunding is all about community, sharing information and building a meaningful relationship with the people who fund your project.

I was trying to check the 5320 comments the team had to respond for their first campaign, and I must confess it seemed quite a challenge to me! But here I am with some findings that might make us feel the customer service wasn’t doing that good of a job! secure-package-delivery-box   As I kept on reviewing the comments, I noticed that some highly significant concerns such as the ones above remained unaddressed by the team, while some other issues got resolved.

This didn’t ascertain me that I have enough information to draw a proper conclusion about the team’s responsiveness, so I dug deeper to find out how responsive the team is to their current campaign, SmartDrop.

Doing a better job for sure! Responding more quickly and more efficiently and trying to address the concerns of backers. Progress is always a good sign! With progress in our minds and this package locker for home, we are dealing with some experienced experts who have proved to be successful enough in the industry they are involved in.  Inspired by the experience and touched by the transparency, the backer community was and is powerful enough to push the SmartDrop team to lead a more responsive and efficient path for the ones who demonstrate trust, support and belief towards them!
