As I planned this campaign, the notion of setting a higher goal first or the actual minimum needed with a stretch goal was a real issue for me.
In some ways, setting the bar higher can bring in more money, as people see the number go up and get closer, maybe there are more who toss in 10 or 25 dollars that do not because it has funded lower and is a stretch goal and not really needed.
I am glad I chose the real goal and stretch goal, even not hitting the stretch goal.
The cards are set to be printed soon, rewards will be sent out on time. Life is good.
