Evaluation of proposal submission

Evaluation of Proposal

I am going to take the time to talk about the group proposal we created for class. As we all know, we were to write to Kickstarter for the purpose of having our fundraising project approved and listed. The proposal consisted of several pieces such as an introduction, the background, a proposal, staffing options, our budget, and last our authorization request.

The introduction explained what exactly we were marketing and why we thought it was important. Next, the background addressed our problems and then concluded with our goals and an overall purpose. Then we dove into the proposal itself where we discussed the details of our campaign, such as category, launch date, how long we will run, what we are trying to accomplish, and should we be approved. After that, we discussed the staffing section which explained who was all involved and where in the project to coordinate everything. Next, we discussed our budget which is exactly how much money we wanted to raise and where the money would go. Finally, we concluded with the authorization request, which was asking Kickstarter for approval and given a valid date.

The group proposal was very interesting. I didn't realize until doing this project what all a proposal consisted of. After doing so, it made a ton of sense and showed how important a proposal can be for a company. After figured out what all needed to be addressed in the proposal, I came to the conclusion that the hardest section was trying to figure out an accurate budget for our product. It was very tough not actually having a real company and staff and trying to figure out good prices and what we needed within us. We ended up coming up with a budget price that was way too low.
