Hello everyone!

My name is Regina and I am the creator of the Warmava Tea Project http://kck.st/3yUPkcP - I want to share healing and unique Teas with my backers and include surprises in each box. My goal is to provide a feeling of warmth and to spread awareness of issues like mass loneliness and homelessness.

I am currently facing the challenge of reaching people with a limited budget. I have distributed flyers before and also experimented with Facebook Ads, but with barely any response...

Does anyone have advice for me on how I could increase my reach? This project is close to my heart so I am constantly looking for ways to be successful in my funding efforts.

Thank you so much!!

I am sorry that you didn't get funded. I am in the same boat on my first project, but went in looking at it as a learning project.
Are you planning on relaunching your project this year?

We spent months gathering up facebook followers, then we did jellop advertising, and then we spent the rest of our time making, what we think, is hilarious advertising. The rest is just down to the product speaking for itself. Good luck!

Did you gather followers thru Facebook ads? Was this also done by Jellop?

What do you mean by hilarious advertising?

Your Warmava Tea Project sounds amazing! To boost your reach, try leveraging social media by sharing engaging content and stories behind your teas. Partner with influencers who focus on wellness or tea, and join relevant online communities to spread the word. Make sure your Kickstarter page tells a compelling story and consider offering attractive rewards for backers. Engaging with your supporters and keeping them updated can also help in spreading the word. Best of luck with your campaign!

To promote a Kickstarter campaign effectively, use a combination of strategic planning and strong engagement:

Craft a Compelling Story: Clearly explain your product, why it matters, and the problem it solves. Create an emotional connection with potential backers.

Create High-Quality Visuals: Use strong images and a well-produced video to grab attention and showcase your product’s value.

Leverage Social Media: Share updates, behind-the-scenes content, and product highlights on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Engage with your followers and encourage sharing.

Email Marketing: Build an email list before launch, sending teasers and exclusive updates to potential backers.

Collaborate with Influencers and KOLs: Partner with influencers in your niche to tap into their engaged audiences.

Seek Press Coverage: Pitch your campaign to relevant media outlets and blogs to boost visibility.

Engage Your Community: Interact with backers, answer questions, and provide regular updates to keep them involved.

Offer Early Bird Specials: Create urgency by offering special pricing or limited edition rewards for early backers.

Paid Advertising: Test small budgets for ads on Google, Facebook, or Instagram to find the best platforms for your audience.

Collaborate with Partners: Work with creators or businesses that share your target audience to expand reach.

Effective promotion requires consistency, so start early, keep the excitement going, and engage with your audience throughout the campaign.

About the only contributions I can make to this excellent post:

a) Feature a pre-launch Landing Page with a friendly video intro outlining the project's attributes, preferably by the project’s leader. The objective is to capture prospects' emails to be notified on launch day . . . for a bonus of course!

b) I’ve sometimes included a recorded phone intro that helps connect visitors to the campaign’s objectives.
