Funded in 3 Days!

Our project, a modular backpack combining a travel duffel and hiking backpack was funded in 3 days! We set a goal of $15,000 and we were happy to achieve that so quickly.

What helped:
-Researching relevant blogs/media, finding contacts and preparing our message for them
-Reaching out to friends and family, as well as relevant user groups
-Doing all this in a coordinated push on launch day.

We are still working on our media coverage which we hope will help with the rest of the campaign but it was awesome to get funded so quickly and while it's far from over yet, it definitely does take a bit of pressure off which is nice.

Have you been funded quickly? Would love to hear your story and tips. If you have any tips for extending the momentum for our campaign of course I'd be all ears as well.

Cheers!

Firstly great KS page. Couldn't you contact KS to see if they can support you and put you on the homepage?

Also, the Early bird is sold out, maybe put a 2nd round of early bird's in...it'll boost your total.

If you want to promote on our gifts site which has a KS section, let me know!

I guess it is really nice of people to post their successful kickstarter campaign on this forum. I would be happy if my project got funded, but would not think about posting my success story here. Good job!

Congratulations! I could have used this bag on my trip to Europe earlier this summer.

Outsanding job! Your campaign page has a really 'modern' look to it too :)

Love the KS page and congrats on meeting your funding! We just launched ours and we're not gaining as much traction as we would like.

How early did you reach out to bloggers and the relevant groups you mentioned?

Thanks for sharing!
