If you’re an issuer thinking of doing a crowdfunding campaign, you better make sure you have a solid marketing budget because marketing is not cheap. However, that’s not to say there aren’t plenty of low-cost marketing options and strategies out there. In this podcast, Howard Sherman from Crowdfund Buzz provides some tips and resources startups and businesses of all sizes can use to propel their marketing efforts into overdrive – without hiring a high-priced fancy marketing agency!
Listen to “How to Do Inexpensive Marketing for your Crowdfunding Campaign” on Spreaker.
We say it often: Laying out your marketing plan and implementing it BEFORE your crowdfunding launch is of upmost importance! But most campaigns don’t even get out of the starting gate because they ignore their marketing budget. And why? Because marketing is so expensive and companies are afraid to foot the cost. However, if you’re confident of the viability of your product and truly believe your company is worth it, then the best advice you can get is “put your money where your mouth is” and start spending the necessary money to put your deal in front of investors in the best possible light.
But as Mr. Sherman mentions on the podcast, that doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Listen as he explains many of the low-cost options and strategies you can use to inspire confidence in your potential investors. Investors want to know what you’re doing and they want to be sure you are for real. And why are you raising money in the first place? Investors want to know that too. Public relations… SEO… Blogging… Website development… it’s all covered here. Remember: “Content” is king!
If there’s one huge takeaway from this podcast it’s this: do not overlook or ignore marketing! And when you’re done with this podcast, you’ll have learned many of the inexpensive tools for crowdfunding success (and maybe have saved tens of thousands of dollars from the information you just heard).
