Question 2

After Crowdfunding

Accepted Answer

The campaign has ended and you've exceeded your goals. Customers are lined up. You're featured on blogs. Social media channels are ablaze with your viral video. But now is not the time to ease up. Too many brands fizzle out of relevance. We show you how to hold onto and build on your momentum, leverage strategic opportunities, and kick your brand up to the next level. We've been working with crowdfunding campaigns since 2010, and our team gained experience working with some of the leading brands in the industry, so trust us when we say you have a narrow window of opportunity to seize. When signing up with BoostYourCampaign, we'll help evaluate your go-to-market offer, with scopes ranging from e-commerce, additional investment rounds to business accelerator programs.

Question 3

Lower Fees

Accepted Answer

We're invested in relationships - not transactions. We offer lower and more reasonable fees than our competitors. We advise you on where to best utilize budget and are committed to maximizing your ROI with measurable results. Last but not least, we offer skin-in-the-game to all customers we partner up with, starting already in the pre-launch.

Question 4

Do you offer pre-launch services?

Accepted Answer

We do! They're already included in our Platinum and Social+ packages. The pre-launch services include an in-depth analysis of a) your campaign (in draft mode) or b) your idea/concept, a full next steps approach plan, copywriting/press release/social media setup/influencer approach, SEO research and article/blog submission. All you need to start right from day 1. If you want the same extensive pre-launch services we used to launch +300k and even +4 million USD campaigns and exceed our clients' goals, again and again, contact us today for a personalized offer.

Question 5

What is your 'hand submit to social media' service?

Accepted Answer

All our press releases and articles/campaign updates are hand-submitted to top social media mediums including custom updates for Facebook, Google+, Twitter #tags, Pinterest and LinkedIn. You will get massive exposure to your campaign page including backers and referrals to boost your rank in the IndieGoGo/Kickstarter campaign pages.

Question 6

Press Release Writing

Accepted Answer

Yes, BoostYourCampaign has an in-house copywriter skilled in writing press releases, online press coverage, and crowdfunding project content. Press releases are typically drafted within 1-2 days and distributed to selected journalists and distribution companies to ensure quality outreach.

Question 7

Press Release Distribution

Accepted Answer

There are many press release distribution offers out there. Most of them let you upload your press release, pay (a lot), and send your press release out. That's it. They don't manually select the journalists that will receive them. They just blast out emails. No selection = no quality = no follow up. We do it differently: We'll select the right contacts and distribution companies. Doing this part right means that the people who receive/see your release will have a genuine interest in your Indiegogo / Kickstarter project.

Question 8

Paid Ads

Accepted Answer

We handle ad creation, targeting, and optimization to help you reach your ideal backers.

Question 9

Can I track results?

Accepted Answer

Yes, BoostYourCampaign tracks email open and click rates, survey engagement, and uses referral tags to monitor pledges.

Question 10

When should I start my pre-launch campaign?

Accepted Answer

The sooner, the better. Pre-launch can last anywhere from 30 to 90 days, depending on your goals. A well-built list of backers before launch can make or break your campaign.

Question 13

How long does it take to set up an eCommerce store after my crowdfunding campaign?

Accepted Answer
