    Tips for a Campaign slowing down

    by trisshala » Fri Aug 26, 2016 3:46 pm

    Hi!

    I've just launched a new campaign on Kickstarter, the Velara Warriors - bit.ly/velaratoys . They're constructible female action figures. We did pretty alright in the first day (raised almost 17%), but now it's 3 days in, and the campaign has slowed down. Any tips? Thanks in advance :)

    Great question!

    I actually just put together a YouTube vid on this very topic haha. Hope it's helpful!

    thanks for the tips Salvador, I am kind in the same situation! i think you are right to say that I would need to do some changes on the Campaign page. I believe people are more likely to back a campaign if they see professionalism.

    Hey Trisshala,

    Don't worry! First day momentum is important, but it is normal for a campaign to slow down a few days in. It is likely your donations will trickle in, and then increase again near the end of your campaign. Many people give up here, keep your campaign going! Spend this time interacting on social media and forums. You can also encourage your backers to share your page on their social media pages. Good luck!
