Much of the work over the first part of this toolkit revolves around this pre-launch concept, so if you have not read that article, do that now. We\u2019ll wait.<\/p>\r\n<p>You\u2019ll notice from that article that the timeline begins 90 days <em>before launch. <\/em>And you might be balking right now because you didn\u2019t anticipate thinking that far ahead.<\/p>\r\n<p>Think about movie promotion \u2013 long before a movie is released, we see announcements about release dates, casting, filming locations, and teaser trailers. Then, with a few weeks to go, we\u2019ll see much-anticipated full-length trailers and reviews from critics. Even the latest iteration of Batman would have flopped opening weekend if no one had known it was coming.<\/p>\r\n<p>How long you ramp up depends on how established your online presence is. Well-established creators with a loyal following of supporters might not need long at all \u2013 they may even be able to launch a small campaign with no notice and still achieve funding. Newer creators will want to consider a ramp-up period from 3 to 6 months.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][image_with_animation image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221;

Because crowdfunding success centers around <em>sharing<\/em>, your story is essential to your arsenal. We design our storytelling guidelines to captivate and engage your current supporters and entice them to share.<\/p>\r\n<p>There will always be new supporters to bring in, and what better way than to use those who have already contributed? That way, you aren\u2019t only marketing to your community but your community\u2019s community as well.<\/p>\r\n<p>But sharing once won\u2019t cut it. A typical marketing principle is the rule of seven, which states that a potential customer (supporter) needs to interact with a brand at least seven times before they\u2019ll recognize and engage with it.<\/p>\r\n<p>And you cannot just share the same thing over and over again. You need new content to resonate with this new crowd, so that <strong>updates<\/strong> will be invaluable for your campaign.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crowdfundr.com\/creatorhub\/crowdfunding-campaign-updates-meet-your-new-best-friend\/\">This article<\/a> explains all about updates and what you can include. While not all updates can be planned, of course, some can (<a href=\"https:\/\/connectionpoint.com\/help\/docs\/campaign-story-updates-how-to-add-edit-and-delete\/#2-toc-title\">you can even schedule them ahead of time!<\/a>). There\u2019s background information about you as a creator, your project and its design or production, teaser images, samples, and anything new and valuable.<\/p>\r\n<p>Encourage your supporters to share these updates along with your campaign for some effective crowd-to-crowd advertisements.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;
