Baseline: marketing budget and intent
BoostYourCampaign is a good fit for creators who treat their launch as a real business step and are ready to invest in it.
In practice that means:
- A combined marketing budget of at least 4,500 dollars for professional work and ads
- A clear intent to move from idea or prototype to a public launch, not just to gather opinions
- Willingness to follow a structured process rather than improvised last minute decisions
The exact split between fees and ads depends on your product and category. We refine that on the first call.
For more detail on money and structure, see BoostYourCampaign pricing explained.
We work with both new ideas and mature products
You do not need a finished product to work with us. What matters is that you are ready to build something real and have the budget to support it.
Physical products and hardware
If you have a physical product, you might be at different stages:
- Concept and early design
- Prototype in progress
- Production ready sample
We can work with you at any of these stages. The earlier we get involved, the more we can influence offer, positioning, and creative direction. For hardware and physical products, our own video and content studio can support campaign videos and product photos so you are not left to figure that part out alone.
Software and SaaS through our MVP service
For software and SaaS projects that are not built yet, we can combine launch planning with product work through our MVP service.
You can read more here: BoostYourCampaign MVP service.
This is a good fit if you want to:
- Validate the core idea before overbuilding
- Shape the MVP around a clear acquisition and monetisation path
- Prepare the marketing system and the product in parallel
What you want from an agency
BoostYourCampaign is a done for you partner. Creators who fit well usually want:
- A team that builds funnels, runs ads, and manages numbers for them
- Clear structure from validation to live campaign instead of guessing week by week
- Direct feedback on margins, goals, and offer, even when that feedback is uncomfortable
If you mainly want general advice, light guidance, or templates to implement yourself, a consulting model or a course is often a better option.
Projects that tend to perform best with us
Looking across many launches, certain traits show up again and again in projects that do well.
You are willing to build and refine
Strong fit projects are open to shaping the offer with us. That might mean:
- Adjusting pricing, bundles, or stretch goals based on data
- Reworking messaging if early tests show confusion
- Adapting creative direction when certain angles clearly outperform others
You know the basic numbers or are ready to define them
You do not need a perfect spreadsheet, but you should be ready to clarify:
- Cost of goods or cost to deliver each unit of value
- Planned campaign and retail price ranges
- Broad shipping and fulfilment approach for physical products
If these are not defined yet, we can help you work through them at the beginning of the engagement.
You can commit time as well as budget
Good outcomes need your attention. Fit creators:
- Answer questions quickly so testing does not stall
- Provide materials and approvals on agreed timelines
- Stay engaged with decisions as numbers come in
Categories where we have deep experience
We have supported a wide range of campaigns, but three categories come up repeatedly:
- Board and card games
- Hardware and physical products
- Design and lifestyle products
Each of these behaves differently. Games rely on rules clarity and replay value. Hardware projects need clear risk handling and delivery communication. Design and lifestyle products often depend on strong visuals and simple storytelling.

Who is not a good fit right now
Saying no to the wrong fit is as important as saying yes to the right one. Situations that usually do not work with our model include:
No budget for structured marketing
If you cannot allocate at least 4,500 dollars to cover professional work and ads, paid acquisition is likely to create more stress than progress. Organic approaches and smaller experiments are usually safer first steps.
No willingness to act on data
If you want to run with a fixed goal, fixed offer, and fixed creative direction regardless of what validation and live numbers show, you will not get the full benefit of our system.
Last minute, high pressure launches
Ideally we start work 8 to 12 weeks before launch. If you are a few days away from going live with no assets, no list, and no room to move dates, there is rarely enough time to set up proper validation and pre launch work.
In some of these cases, it is more useful to pause, regroup, and treat the next attempt as a relaunch. Contact us to discuss your situation.
How to decide between BoostYourCampaign and other options
When you compare us with other agencies or with a freelance or do it yourself path, useful questions include:
- Who will build and run the actual marketing system, not just design it on paper
- How clearly the process from validation to live campaign is explained
- How open they are about budgets, risk, and limits
We describe that comparison more fully on BoostYourCampaign vs Kickstarter marketing agencies and on Kickstarter agency vs freelancer or do it yourself.
Fit and expectations FAQ
What is the minimum budget to work with BoostYourCampaign
As a baseline, most projects that work with us start with at least 4,500 dollars in combined budget for professional work and ads. On the first call we adjust that number to your category, goal, and margin.
Do you work with early stage ideas
Yes, as long as there is a real intent to build and a budget to support it. For software and SaaS projects, our MVP service is often the right entry point. For physical products, we can combine marketing work with creative and video support from our studio.
Can I start small and scale later
Many projects start with a focused validation sprint. If numbers are workable, we scale pre launch and then the live phase. If not, we talk about adjustments before more money goes into traffic.
How early should I contact you
Ideally 8 to 12 weeks before launch. That gives enough time for validation, pre launch list building, creative work, and planning for the live phase. If you are closer than that, we can still look at your situation and tell you what is realistic.
What if I am still unsure after reading this page
In that case, the best next step is a direct conversation. A short call with real numbers usually brings more clarity than reading another page.
