Gauging Crowdfunding Campaigns Before Launch

Launching a Crowdfunding campaign is not a guarantee for fund-raising. Apart from time, investment in crowdfunding also requires startups to think through multiple pre-launch activities which are key for success. As competition for entrepreneurs increases day by day, they need to consider multiple parameters to achieve desired crowdfunding investment.
Crowdfunding platforms allow startups to run their campaigns for a specific time-period which is typically not enough for building potential customers, gauging market demand and for PR outreach. Entrepreneurs need to initiate multiple activities a few months before the actual crowdfunding campaigns are launched. It not only helps to build enough momentum but also ensures a great impact while the actual campaign is being launched.


Research is one of the most important activities for successful business startups before they venture into a crowdfunding campaign. Startups need to review their overall business strategy during the crowdfunding pre-launch period. Such an exercise might help them to uncover weaknesses in their strategy which they can try and improve according to their customer’s demand. This will further provide benefits while launching the final campaign.
It is also important to talk to similar crowdfunders who might have failed before at their campaigns. It helps to find out the reason behind the failure of getting funded and acquiring investors for startups. Most importantly, crowdfunding research should help entrepreneurs to pin-point their target market much more strongly than before. They should also be able figure out the required audience for their product.
In the crowdfunding pre-launch stage, startups need to use effective PR and marketing strategies to connect with their target audience. They should use social media for establishing loyal fans, influencers, backers for their products. If they manage to build a community around their crowdfunding project, they will have a great momentum already at their side while launching the final crowdfunding campaign. All that can significantly increase chances of achieving their fundraising goals for startup business.
