Need some reward ideas? Here are 96 of them.

Offering great rewards is one of the best ways to encourage support for your Kickstarter project. It's always good to offer copies of what you're making, signed prints, show tickets, and things like T-shirts or totes. But extra-imaginative rewards can help make your project all the more memorable.

Looking for help thinking something up? Here's a start: we've created 96 fun and engaging reward possibilities. Some have happened, some we dreamt up on the fly — and all can be used as inspiration for your project.

1. Offer an associate producer credit like creator Emily Allen did.

2. A creative-process bike tour. Take backers on a roll past your favorite thinking spots, studios, or production facilities.

3. Flash-drive roulette. Fill flash drives with your work, outtakes, pictures, music, scripts, designs, code, or other goodies from your project. See if you can make each flash drive unique!

4. Studio visits. Invite backers into the studio to throw in some handclaps on a track (or offer a private workshop as Anne Rynefors did) — or even some backup vocals.

5. Food photography. Not everyone loves to cook, but that doesn't mean they don't love food. Make a collection of all the photos in your cookbook (plus a few bonus shots!) — it will make a great coffee table piece.

6. Script scraps. Mail out autographed pages or scenes from an actor’s on-set script.

7. Create a VIP Cafe Sneak Peek experience for backers, offering music, good food, and fun to create an immersive experience as Sara Fludd did.

33. The first taste. Send an invite to the restaurant’s VIP soft-launch — and offer up some free treats.
