Equity crowdfunding is great, but as stated many times on the Mapable USA podcast, you must be able to build your crowd first – and that takes money. Sometimes, a lot of money. A basic element of crowdfunding success includes setting aside a budget for marketing purposes. But as many companies have learned the hard way, marketing is not as easy as it looks. That’s why in this episode, we interviewed Caleb Huey, Vice-President of Creative Strategy at the Creative Direct Marketing Group (CDMG) which is a full-service direct response advertising and marketing group that specializes in marketing the crowdfunding efforts for those companies seeking to utilize the JOBS Act capital raising benefits.
The media marketing landscape has certainly changed from the good old days of print advertising to today’s meta-data strategies in order to find the right target audience of people, but listen to crowdfunding expert Mr. Huey as he explains how his company is using sophisticated marketing tools including laser focused transactional meta-data to collect information on consumers to help issuers identify and solicit the right kind of investors to make their crowdfunding efforts successful.
CDMG’s integrated marketing is an accountable, time-tested approach to getting responses from targeted prospects. And they’ve certainly mastered the process, having developed more than 1,000+ integrated marketing campaigns with high-level strategy and measurable results. Reg.A+, Reg.CF, or whatever crowdfunding you want to do, driving the right quality traffic is the key. As mentioned on the podcast, if your marketing is not attracting the right person, it’s a pointless process. First you have to decide that you’re ready to move forward with equity crowdfunding. Contacting Ron Sukenick at Simply Go Public can help you make that decision. But once it’s made and you’re ready to move forward, tapping into CDMG’s full turnkey approach would be your next wise move.
Just placing your offering on a portal is not enough! Many issuers make that mistake and wonder why they fail. Marketing and creating the right kind of crowd cannot be stressed enough. You’ll need a strategy of repeating a unique message across multiple channels including branding, direct mail, digital marketing integration, social media, video, TV, and radio – all integrated together — to produce a high response and a successful crowdfunding capital raise that can take your company to the next level. That’s where Caleb Huey and CDMG can help you. Contact him by email or give him a call at 615-490-8823.
