It gives people a chance to discover something new and to be part of the process in making it a reality. So far we’ve seen quite a few game-changing products come from such platforms.
However usually this is thanks to media outlets covering it and talking about it, but what if you just wanted to browse for successful products? The good news is that this is something that Indiegogo is trying to fix by launching the Indiegogo Marketplace. As the name implies, this is basically an online storefront where users will be able to find and purchase projects that have been successfully-funded on its platform.
Prior to this, the companies and individuals behind the projects would have to create their own websites and storefronts if they wanted to sell their products, but with the Indiegogo Marketplace, Indiegogo is helping with the sales. It also helps to make it easier for users who are looking for projects that have already been fully funded and have products that are ready to be shipped, so if you’re the type that doesn’t want the risks involved in backing a project, this is an alternative way to lend your support.
There are quite a few products already listed on the Indiegogo Marketplace, so if you’re curious or want to see what’s new, head on over for the details.
