Firstly, it increases awareness among potential customers. Secondly, it encourages new vendors to enter the market, which, in turn, increases competitions and decreases ices. Thirdly, vendors will have a better idea about the demand for their products. They will be able to involve the potential buyers at the product development stage by directly communicating with them. This can help vendors to manufacture products based on requirements of customers. GoFundMe, Indiegogo, and Kickstarter are some of the popular crowdfunding sites.
