Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the great tip!

I ran an email campaign with a standard template so the results were not as good as I expected.

I am in the midst of my campaign so I'll try again using your advise.

Thanks, awesome tips. We just started a KS campaign and the more we can learn the better.
Connection is super important and also build a super robust data base.

If you want to take a look to the campaign and give me some tips, I'd really appreciate it ( on my signature)

Definitely prepare a mailing list before launching! something that I should have done, please check my project https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ju ... ject_build

Love these tips so far! It's amazing what a huge group of people brainstorming can do!

Here are some additional tips on promoting your crowdfunding project during its final days:

1. Get people involved in your referral program to spread the word far and wide

2. Outreach for mutual shoutouts with other live campaigns also looking for more backers

3. Tap into the power of your backers. Ask if any of them are bloggers/vloggers/have a following of some sort and if they’d be willing to do a writeup of the project

4. Submit your campaign to as many places as possible that cover crowdfunding campaigns. BackerClub, BackerLand, GadgetFlow, etc.

5. Put some money into advertising and use urgency factors (only X days left to get PRODUCT at 35% off!) in the copy

6. Add more “social proof” to your page to increase legitimacy and likelihood someone will contribute

7. Add some urgency into all your social channels. Things like “only X units left!” or “last Y days to get this product at prices never to be seen again!”

8. Send email(s) out to the email list that you’ve built with that same urgency messaging

Creativity is your best friend and the world is your oyster!

Best of luck out there

My pro tip would be to prepare for launch at least 3 months ahead of time! This is a full time job!

We are on the verge of starting our very first campaign on Kickstarter. Thanks for the information. It was great to learn all the tips and technicalities.

+1 on this one, we've done for our v1 and it work fantastically well, we are now doing it for v2 and we are purring more budget with ads and services.

Wow, a lot of great stuff in here. It's our first campaign, so I don't think I can add much to the conversation.

The one thing we've done that has worked well is we built 50 prototypes and gave them to friends and family two months ago with caveat that if they liked BuzzOff they would buy it through kickstarter on Day 1 of our campaign. We also were then able to interview some of them and put together a testimonial video.
