📣 Calling all Creators
You’re invited to our second annual BackerKit Holiday Market — a celebration of creator businesses, running between Nov 18–Dec 1, 2026, designed to help backers find the perfect holiday gifts.
Sell with Ready-to-Ship Projects
- No funding goal required — just sell what you've already got
- Show backers an estimated shipping date up front
- Set up your campaign as usual, and our team will enable this feature for you
Why Participate?
- Boost holiday sales ❄️
- Clear inventory before the new year 🎁
- Reach new backers — and grow your community even faster with BackerKit’s Cross-Collab feature 🌟
What Makes BackerKit Holiday Market Different?
We believe in supporting independent businesses. BackerKit Holiday Market makes it easy to discover ready-to-ship crowdfunding favorites — and for creators who want to go further, Cross-Collab incentives reward backers for supporting a pair of projects.
Last year, 40+ creators ran a Cross-Collab incentive. Paired projects raised a median of 2x their pledges and backers of a solo project, with the top pairing sharing 50% of their backers.
