“Fear over lack of interest and
concern about getting stuck with the bill are two of the biggest barriers
to tailgating,” says Andy Macias, founder and owner of Tailgate Cruiser, which
rents and delivers tailgating equipment to sports fans in Washington, DC and
Northern Virginia - including free tailgate planning services. “The party
stops before it ever begins because people just don’t want to deal with
fronting the money only to have to uncomfortably hit up each partygoer to collect
funds at the event.”
Enter Tailgate Cruiser partner
Zokos. Zokos is a crowdfunding platform that allows guests to chip-in for their portion of the bill ahead of
time while they are RSVPing. $89 rental tailgate packages, food, beer, and delivery are paid in advance. No fronting money. No IOUs. No hassle.
Collective funding does more than
increase the group’s purchasing power; it gets people involved and makes for a
more collaborative effort. RSVPers
tend not to flake out when they have skin in the game. Crowdfunding through our partner Zokos gets the entire group to participate and causes a transformation. No longer is it a question of “Is there is going to be a tailgate?” but “How elaborate can the tailgate become?”
The Zokos platform allows guests to securely chip-in through PayPal or WePay using their
credit card. Once the goal number
of guests is reached, the party tips and the money is then transferred to the
host. If not, no money changes
hands and no charges are incurred.
Having the money ahead of time
allows the host to order the rental equipment, food, and beer ahead of time on www.tailgatecruiser.com and schedule
the delivery. Tell them when and
where to deliver and your tailgate planning and payment are complete.
