A general rule is to aim for 30% toward your goal in the first 24 hours (but don\u2019t panic if you don\u2019t!). These early discounts will drive those contributions and set you up for success<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep \u2018surprise\u2019 rewards or upsells in your back pocket for later\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You may need a bit of a boost as your deadline crops up to reach your goal or a stretch goal.
