1. Choose the right type: funding or preorder
Depending on the type of project, the conditions for participation, preparation documents, and what needs to be explained in the story will vary. If you choose the wrong type of project, you may have to prepare documents and stories again, so before writing, check the conditions of each type in the required documents for the project to proceed.
If funding is appropriate
If it's a project to introduce a new product or service and explain to supporters the production process and funding plan to make it happen, consider funding first.
If the preorder is appropriate
If you're looking to introduce products that already have a manufacturing or distribution base with Wadiz's own special benefits, you can review the free order. In the preorder, it is important to clearly show not only product information but also the differentiated benefits that Wadiz supporters can receive, such as domestic solo release, special composition, and limited quantity.
2. Check required documents
The documents required for the project largely depend on three criteria.
- Maker type: Individual, individual business, corporate business, etc
- Manufacturing and distribution methods: Direct production, consignment production, ODM, exclusive distribution, etc
- Product categories: Food, cosmetics, electric appliances, health-related products, alcoholic beverages, pet products, e-books, classes, travel, lodging, etc
If you fail to submit the required documents by the set deadline, you may be restricted from sending rewards or be affected by the progress of the project, so please check the latest required document guidance and procedures and get the required documents in advance!
3. The target amount is not the desired sales, but the minimum execution cost
The target amount is not the amount you want to raise a lot, but the minimum amount you need to produce rewards and fulfill your promises with supporters. Calculate based on the following items.
Minimum target amount = (production/development costs + packaging costs + shipping costs + fees and various expenses + exchange/customer response reserve) - funds already secured
If the target amount is low, the achievement rate can rise quickly, which can help increase the project's attention, but setting it lower than the amount required for actual production can lead to a shortage of production costs even after the project succeeds. Therefore, when determining the target amount, you have to check the following three together.
- If we achieve the target amount, can we start the actual production?
- Is it possible to deliver and deliver even if the number of rewards increases?
- Can you afford unexpected exchange and reproduction costs?

4. Rewards design that determines funding sales
Rewards refer to products, services, and usage rights that supporters receive after participating in the project. The first design is very important because the payment conversion and customer unit price may vary depending on what price range and composition you propose to your supporters. When designing rewards, try configuring them based on the following three roles. Detailed option configuration patterns and price design methods can be found in the Rewards Design Complete Guide.
Introductory rewards that you can choose easily
It is an option for supporters who are new to the product to participate relatively without burden. It can be used for experience configurations or small-capacity products.
Main Rewards at the heart of the project
It's a key option that the maker wants to sell the most. The representative functions and price competitiveness of the product should be well revealed.
Set/Premium Rewards to Increase Customer Unit Price
It's an option that includes a set of purchasing several together, a limited configuration, additional benefits, and more. You should be able to immediately understand what benefits you have over a single product.
Early bird is useful for enticing early participation in the project, but rather than just increasing the discount rate, we should design the quantity and duration of the offer together. Write down the product name, quantity, composition, and benefits specifically in the reward name and prepare an image that allows you to check the actual components.
5. Planned opening and main funding schedule
The scheduled opening period is a period of time when the project is released before the main funding starts and we collect notification applications from interested customers. You can notify us of the project opening in advance and see what messages and advertisement materials our customers respond to. I may not choose to open because it is an option, but when I looked at the data, the project that went ahead with the open plan performed better! If you are worried about the planned opening, check the difference in the performance of the project that was scheduled to open first.
If you are determined to proceed, we recommend that you proceed with the scheduled opening and the main funding period as follows.

6. Prepare expressions and evidence for the story
The project story is not an advertising page that only highlights the merits of the product. The key is to provide objective information so that supporters can trust the products and makers and determine whether they participate or not. Since Story is being monitored by AI and Wadiz screening experts, we recommend checking the standards and materials to be prepared in advance in the Story AI screening guide. In particular, if you are going to use the following expressions, please prepare materials to support them in advance!
- Specific figures indicating product performance
- Test and inspection results
- Customer satisfaction or survey results
- Superiority expression such as "first", "only", "first place", etc
- Patent, Certification, Award History
- Comparison results with other products
7. Get benefits from the exhibition
Wadiz regularly holds special exhibitions. There are two main types, and the largest planning exhibition among them is the integrated planning exhibition. Hundreds of projects participate in one exhibition at the same time, and intensive exposure is made from the main screen of Wadiz to external marketing. That's how big the opportunity is, and it's easy to get buried if you don't prepare. Projects participating in the exhibition will be given a variety of free marketing benefits, so take a look at the exhibition guide and spread the project further through the ongoing exhibition!
- Category Exhibition: A special exhibition that brings together specific categories of projects such as food, fashion, beauty, books, and tech
- Integrated Planning Exhibition: Large-scale planning exhibitions in which all projects participate together regardless of category, such as Blackbird, Funding Festival, and Seasonal Planning Exhibition
Preparatory Steps to Improve Project Completion
A successful project can't be completed with just one great story. The project type, required documents, target amount, rewards, schedule and evidence must be combined to create a project that supporters can participate in with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I write a story first even if all the required documents are not ready?
A. You can draft a story, but you may need to modify the expression depending on the certification results or product specifications. It's a good idea to check the documents that take time to issue and write a story and prepare the documents at the same time.
Q. Is the lower the target amount, the better?
A. A low target amount can help increase the achievement rate quickly, but if it is lower than the actual production cost, there may be problems with production and delivery after the project's success. Be sure to set the minimum cost to fulfill your promise.
Q. Do I have to proceed with the scheduled opening?
A. It's not mandatory, but it has the advantage of being able to check customer reactions and gather notification applicants before this funding. If it's your first project that doesn't have enough of your own customer base, take it seriously.
Q. How many AI screenings can I use before opening?
A. You can request up to 5 times before opening. Rather than inspecting one sentence at a time from the draft stage, it is more efficient to request it again after revising all the findings in one review.
Q. Can the story be modified even after the project is opened?
A. Some items can be modified even after opening, but there are items that cannot be modified or things that need to be checked separately. Please confirm key information and evidence before opening as much as possible.
Q. When should I open the project to participate in the exhibition?
A. We need to set the schedule so that the opening date of this funding is included in the operation period of the exhibition. If we want to proceed with the scheduled opening together, we can consider how to prepare about 14 days in advance based on the start date of the exhibition.
