Eminent Domain on Kickstarter - Some Backer Stats
Posted by Michael Mindes on September 24, 2011
I do not know how interesting this will be to you, but I find it very interesting!Early on 11/1/2010 I checked the Backer stats for Eminent Domain.
There was 110 backers at this time backing with a total of $7,585. The support based on levels laid out like this:
- $200+ Backers = $3,222 or 42.5% of all pledges
- $150 Backers = $450 or 5.9% of all pledges
- $90 Backers = $900 or 11.9% of all pledges
- $60 Backers = $720 or 9.5% of all pledges
- $35 Backers (and below) = $2,293 or 30.2% of all pledges
This means that Pareto's observation about 80% of results coming from 20% of efforts is close to holding absolutely true...
- Pledgers at $60+ were 41 Backers (37.3% of Backers) and pledged 69.8% of $ support thus far
- Pledgers at $35 or under were 69 Backers (62.7% of Backers) and pledged 30.2% of $ support thus far
I thought you might be interested at the analysis thus far of the Kickstarter Backers. I sure am glad that we structured the rewards the way we did. I am sure there was room for improvement, but providing a way for Backers to pledge more, and providing incentives for them to sell the game to their friends was a great idea.]]>
