Just checked out your campaign - very well pitched and great story.
Okay, enough flattery,
let's get down to business... (it's way past by bedtime)
You're pretty much at the point I was when I launched my first Kickstarter project. It was around 5 days from the end and I had crippling doubts about getting funded (they talk about the "lull" ...but they don't mention you get days where not only don't you get any Backers - but you drop a few hundred dollars too with people "un-backing"!)
Here's my
super-stealth tactic (yes, I'm claiming owner ship for this )...
I call it the "Hail Mary":
I stood in front of the camera and told my Backers exactly what I was thinking. I told them this was the
first point during the entire campaign in which I had doubts about being funded (which was true).
(It doesn't make sense to pretend not to have doubts about your project. If you're having doubts ...then you can be damn sure your Backers are having doubts! So acknowledging these doubts to your Backers demonstrates to them you are thinking accurately - and don't just have your head in the clouds ...or in a hole in the ground)Now, my project was a titanium, multi-function pocket-tool - so what I did was offer them a titanium prototype key-holder as an "upsell" and explained it was to
guarantee we get funded. I asked them to pledge an additional 'x' dollars and they'd get this prototype.
Did it work? Take a look at the screenshot below...
The red arrow above is the night I posted the video update. Around 25% of backers pledged for the "upsell".
So there's the
"Hail Mary" strategy for you.
For your project...I'd say to focus more on offering something to the high Reward tiers. Taking a look at your campaign numbers I see that
nearly half of your funding has come from Backers pledging $50+. Focus on these guys - they're way more likely to pledge even more dollars than the lower tier Backers.
I don't know much about games - but I'm sure you can come up with various things to offer.
You only need to get vaguely close to your funding goal - as you'll get a little "boost" in the last 48 hours anyway.
Also, worst case scenario, you can "bump" the last little bit yourself by persuading a "friend" to pledge a few thousand.
Also, you'd probably want to implement the
"Hail Mary" as soon as possible. If you get near the end and you're still quite far away from funding then you're going to get Backers pulling out ...which will snow-ball the situation.
Right, really need to get to bed now. Best of luck!
